It's sad that people take this incident, without knowing a SINGLE thing except that an Aussie…

I read Taiwan newspaper that the father took another woman home so his wife left 10 years ago. Anyway it might be the worst outcome the man broke down his family and the son deserves to stay in jail until he really grow up that his father didn't teach him. Like father like son, what an expensive lesson!

YuriOtani: Quite part of your words are right; Japanese are OK today and do lots of good things to other countries… etc. But fundamentally you miss a key point: Japanese unconditionally surrendered to end the WWII. Japanese already accepted that they were guilty about the war and agreed everything the Alliance did was correct. Therefore, the Alliance committed to forgive/ protect/ reconstruct Japan and they did. This was basically the foundation of peace of past-war. So, what Japanese should do today is to keep their promise, admit their fault (don’t forget to teach their children also), not to mention some strange points like they were forced to fight… ( Japanese only could say that if they didn’t surrender unconditionally!) and not to jump up and down if others only try to memory their past righteous actions ( Japanese already accepted that 64 years ago!).

I really think these researchers just get paid too easy and have nothing to do! Better send them to Iraq for couple months so they can be closer to real war to get more clear idea about war. Scar is the key factor caused war more hellish. Suppose u don’t scare about yourself or your family/ friend live/ dead/ happy/ sad… then nowhere/ nothing is more hellish or less for you. When the Jewry were sent to gas room, what they were thinking is hellish. Some people don’t care anything and stay outside of war zone during war time and keeps making dirty money surely free of scaring. Also I don’t think these sort of things can be analyzed like other issues those researchers do.

It also might be possible a commercial spy case. CIA are the best of these sort of matters. Pls refer to the following: “In September 1993, President Clinton asked the CIA to spy on Japanese auto .... German business leaders were alerted to the extent of US commercial spying” ... __THE NSA'S GLOBAL SPYING NETWORK_ By Patrick S. Poole_ Excerpts from Nexus Magazine Oct/Nov 1999

Everyone knows himself should do good things and behave like gentleman, but every hungry poor's principle is to try anyway he can to survive first! So many governments give food stamps ...etc. to poor people. I don't believe smart Japanese don't understand this but only keep on pushing poors to street, you simply can't terminate a 30M people country!

Chinese don’t really mean it! It’s only something warning like “ watch this stuff (dollar) well, otherwise I may invest others.” Do you get it? Don’t need to be so mad or nervous…….

Companies have to survive first therefore they can avoid more layoffs in the future.
The US have to stick by free trade policy for the rest of the world to follow to keep the whole world moving normally.
Only the whole world can function well then the US can take time to recover for himself and all others.

ApecNetworks: To know how others think is interesting anyway, and sorry that I didn’t read "Far Eastern Economic Review".
TonyUS: I suggest u to think about the following 3 problems that cause you hard to do logical discussion : 1. You mixed “people”, “country”, “government” 3 items all together. for example, When people said he don’t like something the US government/ Army/ President did that doesn’t mean he hate the US people or the US; I am Taiwanese and Chinese and I naturally love China culture doesn’t mean I like communist government! Why can’t I love Chinese and American and dislike China government and US government at the same time? These 4 are different things! 2. Don’t habitually change others’ key words then use that to criticize others. For example, I said “ people ‘worried’ about the US….”, then u changed ‘worry’ to ‘fear’ and ask me to prove it. Hey, man: how can u change my words then ask me to prove it ??? every word has different defination! Ok, maybe people fear China more than the US, but the current US president is not mature and often do some unpridicable thing so people worry more about the US! Got it! Like parents worry about their unstable son might drug/ gamble/ fight outside doesn’t mean they don’t love the son. Another example is that I didn’t say anything about “ reunification of China & Taiwan” but u keep talking about I support it something??? Let me make it clear: I love Chinese but I don’t like communist government, I don’t want Taiwan to reunify with China right now, But, suppose 20/30 years later when China become a good democratic country and 50%+ Taiwanese support to take part in China then why not? 3. Don’t act like you know what the majority Taiwanese want but u actually can’t prove it or know nothing! I voted Chen at 2000 election and Ma at 2008 election and both of them elected then so I actually have been standing with the majority of Taiwanese all the time and it doesn’t matter even Chen did some bad thing later and also Ma get 58% vote at 2008 but you seems like don’t really respect this Taiwanese democratic outcome ….. PS1. And one other thing, why u always need people to reveal how much they love the US? People of all over the world can love any different people just up to them, anyone who doesn’t like the US does’t mean he is bad! I like American but I don’t like the US government so what? Like a girl need her bf keep talking “ I love u”.. PS2. Taiwan, Republic of China was ally of the US during WWII but couple decades later President Carter betrayed us to set up diplomatic relationship with Communist China …….. Why? Do you love communists? So I said People and Government are different items!

TonyUS: I suppose this place is for people from different places to share their opinions or thoughts... etc. and when things beyond that then it's better to stop, anyway for me I think that way. if u call me someone Chinese Communist, I also can say you sounds like Russian extremist trying to make people hate the US bla bla bla... I already said u're free to say anything u want, but I have no idea why you can't tolerate others' different thought? Is it your so called US style democracy? If you always regard people of different opinion are someone against you then I really don't wonder why all those muslim, Russian, anti-nuke Japanese, anti-war European.... are all your enemy!

UnaqiDon: That's a good academic research topic. well, it's hard to find out all of ancient Chinese pronounciations today, but researchs reveal that even their pronounciations were partly different like today but most of their words were the same( also same as today's), couple kingdoms did ever tried to invent new words but just vanished later. And in Europe that different kingdoms used different words since ancient age and all the words keep changing so people today can't read any ancient words of any countries.(it might because of barbarians intruded Europe and Christian-Muslim wars...too much conflicts..). anyway, I don't know today's English or French..etc. has been being used for how long backward from now.(if anyone have these information pls let me know). So European cultures keeps living and dead, living and dead... But China culture keeps living so historians say China culture is longest living culture on earth.
sorry, mush: I discussed much these off... things. BTY, according to countries' actual behavior, I need to say all of us are wrong, because the only superpower are Isareal these days --even UN can't hold them!

Tonyus: During Chinese 4000++ years history, China ever separated to 2 or 3 or ... even as many as 16 countries/kingdoms but all of them are always part of culturally China, the concept of China is wider than what u think! Who are Taiwanese? people who live in Taiwan are Taiwanese and 95% of these people came from China from 50-60 years before through all the way back to 400 years ago so Taiwanese naturally use their fatherland's Chinese words before KMT and even before Chin dynasty that began 360 years ago! Anyway, you're free to judge all other countries and say the US is always right and close youe eyes and ears to all advice ...etc. I'm curious if you know that Tibet belongs to China 300 years ago when the US wasn't even existing on earth yet? BTY, are you aware that its because of CIA and Egmont Group’s help, so current Taiwan government can discover last president’s serious corruption guilt? So u noticed Friendship between the US and Taiwan ? and do u suppose the US would say nothing if Taiwan really do something "steps backwards on rights ...."

"Ossan: you have such a negative view of the United States."
That's completely wrong! I got my degree from Wisconsin, a quite conservative place, of the US and you should regard me as a pro-America man! and real friends always give you good advice because they hope you to be good, but your enemy only want you to keep doing bad things and they just laugh at the back.
"tonyus: seeing China rise ... but did not trust China rise as a power"
That's true, but China's 'trustability curve' is going up and how's that of the US? I hope Obama can change people's view of American.
I deeply understand Chinese civilization so I know China will never even want to be a super power like the US, Chinese civilization remind people never expand too much to somewhere you can't hold for long! that's why China had been strong for thousands of years until 200 years ago but he never try to keep conquering like Empire Rome or English ...etc. therefore China civilization keeps living so long even traditional Chinese words we use in Taiwan today is 90% the same as Han dynasty some 2000 years ago when Rome was the other stong country on earth but who know how to write Rome words today?.... My conclusion is that Chinese don't think expansion is a kind of "win" but way to fail. Communism may influence China for short time but it will die not long later like all those bad thoughts that ever appeared shortly during Chin's longest living history on earth.

Ossan: Do know that many Asian worry about the US much more than China? for these some 10- 20 years that we often heard so many innocent people killed in wars the US was involved or supported, and news like the US missles wrongly killed people is not seldom matters. the US government and media keep telling people about how dangerous China is and that did brainwashed some people, but much more people watch and see what the truth really is! As a Taiwanese, I know American is fine and I also don't really worry about China. But as an asian also, I want u don't suppose that we still think like what u think we should! So, pls Stop killing and cheating people and try to win our respect back! American!
