Japan is trying to gain a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council. China is protesting this saying Japan isn't ready to be given permanent status, stating that Japan needs to fess up to war crimes it committed during WWII. WHAT???!!!!
Since WWII Japan has been a democratic society. Has anyone forgotten what China is? Does "Communism" ring a bell? In the current world today the only thing you can blame Japan for is some bad Anime. Japan had a past but China still has a present history that is scary and horrifing. They are one of the biggest persecutors of religion and political dissidents. They control women's reproductive rights and the press. Does anyone consider these important if not key freedoms?
I still ask myself why China is allowed to have the power it does in the U.N.. Maybe that is because the U.N. is not about freedom, integrity and accountability but economic power, control of sovereign nations and corruption.
Japan has shown more of a willingness to cooperate and promote freedom than China has ever demonstrated. China's true intent is to prevent a nation, they wish was under their rule, from diluting its power and influence in the international community. Who do you trust the most? The red star or the red circle?
