Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Crafty rhetoric, insincere politics
Not sincere enough. That what China’s news
agency is saying on the statement made by Japan’s PM Mr. Abe that marked the
70th anniversary of World War II's end on Aug. 14th.
China seems to think that even though the
key words such as "aggression", "colonial rule",
"remorse" and "apology" were squeezed in the statement
because of the domestic and international pressure, Abe didn’t show enough
sincerity in his statement.
Actually, postwar generations, including
Mr. Abe himself, now exceed 80% of Japan's population. He seems to want to get
over with the past and move on saying Japanese people must not let their
children, grandchildren, and even further generations to come, who have nothing
to do with that war, be predestined to apologize, while its neighbors are
pressing Japan’s wrong doings during the war.
Enjoy reading and finding what China thinks
of Abe’s statement,
