China Again

It has been awhile since I've posted, and I've been on China rant, so the latest news out of China will be today's post.

It looks like the Chinese government is now sponsoring anti-Japanese protests. Why do I claim the Chinese government is sponsoring this because no protests in China happen with out their approval. The government of China, is concerned about Japan's push to become permanent member of the UN Security Council. There also upset about Japanese textbooks that do not appropriately address Japanese war atrocities during Japan's occupation of China from 1930s to 1945.

China has a right to be upset about how Japan is addressing their past, as most countries including the United States they are presently trying to politely ignore the crimes of their fathers. Japan has a responsibility to the world but mostly the responsibility to the Japanese people to honestly address their past crimes. Openly and honestly addressing the crimes of their forefathers is by far the best route to Japan's of eventual acceptance as a major and important nation.

Though the Japanese reluctance to entrust their past rightfully aggravates the Chinese appoint that would be most troublesome for Chinese government is the inclusion of Japan on the Security Council. The inclusion of the Japanese government is appropriate Security Council is overly dominated by European nations and including greater representation from the Asian world is important to the overall stability of the world.

A hope none of the readers start thinking that I am becoming a fan of the UN. I still believe the UN is a corrupt and poorly managed organization. It is badly in need of reform. Possibly the new United States Ambassador to the UN (John Bolton) will give the the UN the shove that it needs to properly implement reforms.
