That's true for you GW but my sentiments still hold for others here. Maybe outright some people wouldn't want to say, shut down or ban any negative news items, but many others I bet would act the same way.
Interesting, notice how it's considered a character "flaw" of Japanese people that they would dare express anger or indignation over articles that may show them in a negative light (never mind that no one knows exact percentage of actual Japanese who were actually angered by these Mainichi articles vice others).…
You have a point there wilbur, hopefully we won't see anymore former 'sex slave's' of the Japanese Imperial military and their supporters protest anymore (sarcasm).
May has one piece of advice for all newcomers: “Get involved! The more activities, clubs, organizations you jump into, the more people you will meet and very quickly you will find out where you want to direct your time and talents. You will quickly make friends who share those common…
Amen Zen, Ossan and others. Interesting how those who were quick to blame Japan for the Taiwan/Japan boating incident are for the most part strangely silent on this one. Indeed if this had happened to a U.S. vessel it would be WW3. Unbelievable how the Russians fired on and killed…

I agree Ossan but for the most part I think people in China and elsewhere won't see too much into this than a port of call cultural exchange.
