Japanese on Koreans living in Tsruhashi, Osaka and Japan in general:
"I want to kill them[Koreans] all now!"
"We will start Tsuruhashi massacre like Nanking Massacre!" [mass kiling Koreans like Japanese did in Nanking, China. Well, at least the speaker admits there was a Nanking Massacre. But she seem to be proud of it though.]
And supporters cheers and claps.

Why should Mongolia takes side in this issue. Mongolia's only have two neighbors, with China as one of them and also it's largest trading partner and investor.
What possible net advantages can Mongolia gain by siding with Japan and making China its enemy?
Abe's foreign policy is shallow and reta-rded.
The best thing for Mongolia to do is staying neutral on this issue.

Japan's Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera alledged China used "fire-control radar, or radar for (weapons) firing." So, how can Japan prove that China used those radar and not any other radar?

Since Japan have made the accusation against China and China have denied these accusations, then all Japan needed to do is show their evidences.
Either Japan or China is lying or Japan maybe have mistaken something else for weapon-firing radar lock.

Japan should provide proof for its accusations that China used fire control radar and locked onto the Japanese ship.
Also, Japan need to explain why their ships were so dangerously close to a routine Chinese naval exercise?

complaint to JOC is ineffective and maybe even useless. They are the same old-boy club. What these brave women needs to do is to SUE! That will probably be the only way for real and effective change for now and the future of these type of behaviors.

Other countries really can't demand what Japan must do or not do. They only can responds to Japan's actions. It is up to the Japanese to find their humanity and dignity in themselves to show they are truly and sincerely regretted the atrocities they have committed in the past. (A hint: visit shrines that links to pass aggressions and/or have war criminals in them is not one of the way)

And this is one of the many valid reason why other nations keep asking Japan to truly and sincerely apologize for the atrocities it have committed, even as people on these forums have said Japan have apologized before and have apologized enough.
Actions speaks louder than words: and it is these actions that keep the bad wounds in Asia from being healed.

They can bow and apologize but they don't really mean it anyway.
The only way to bring about change is sue the bleep out of the ones responsible.

Because this is not about him. This is about Japan still believing that it is the major power in East Asia and that it can demand South Korea to do as it please like in the past. However, now that South Korea have its own independent foreign policy(something Japan lacks) and it have grown economically and politically so it doesn't have to do as Japan say anymore.

And yet, China will become one of the largest, if not the largest, FDI recipient this year, above USA.
Total FDI into China for the first 10 months of 2012 was $91.74 billion.
"For the first time since 2003, China has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest recipient of global foreign direct investment (FDI)." --From Forbes.com
Because for every Shukan Asahi that can't compete in China anymore because their business is based only cheap labors, there are others like GM are investing Billions into china to build cars.
