    All these developments are not beyond expectation. It's interesting however that China is against the idea of excluding Japan from the six party talks. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200807/200807110014.html

    My post was deleted as off topic. So I cannot answer your question here about the validity of annexation treaty (about signature of the emperor), please refer to the graphic section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan-KoreaAnnexationTreaty

    Answer me this: Why not simply start out from the onset with more civil, less repressive…

    But since you seem to think that the people don’t matter in this case, then you must obviously mean that the only opinions that did matter with regard to treaty negotiation were those of the ruling governments.

    No, I simply mean how could you have sought the consent of…

    Annexation implies incorporating an already occupied territory to one’s own possessions. This seems more appropriate, yes, but it was hardly accomplished with the consent of the Korean people. The legal validity of the treaty ceding Korea to Japan is disputable, having been concluded in a manner inconsistent with Korean…

    Chosen Ilbo wrote something as follows: http://www.chosunonline.com/article/20060827000000

    Almost every Korean view so far on the Japanese imperial days has been that of "exploitation". Japan occupied Korea and politically suppressed it and exploited it economically thus preventing her normal modernization. However, in the 1980's a voice was raised out of the…

    It's because Russia perhaps has something that appeals to us? Cultural anthropologist Nakazawa Shinichi wrote something interesting on why the world of the Orthodox Eastern Church gave birth to many Dostoyevskies. The Orthodox Church has kept the esoteric and profound thinking that Father is Son, and Son is Holy Spirit,…

    Perhaps it's partly for South Korea. SK wants to delay the collapse of North Korea so that she will not have to shoulder an enormous burden by herself yet. It makes sense Mr. Ban urges Japan to give food aid to N. Korea. The UN is often no less than…

    I still don't understand how/why the Japanese have accepted him. Is it because he's part Japanese? Because he's kuo-ta-?

    Not so much to do with racial relation. Novelty is not the main reason either. He sings well as if he knows what he is singing. Korean singers also have…

    What I wrote about Korean history in this news thread is basically quoted from what Koreans wrote for themselves. O-Seonfa interviewed Koreans who experienced the Japanese rule. She asked them about the creation of family name/name change too. Many of them didn't change their names through their schooldays and…

    And another. Professor Yi Yonfung of Seoul University shares similar view. He said that the aim of Japan's rule of Korea was not exploitation/plunder of Korea but a build-up of a country equipped with the same social system and foundation as those of Japan to be annexed to Japan eternally.…
