How can see the history. I think the view is different depending on the person. In addition, I think that it is natural that different. But if accustomed to bend the facts, to rewrite the convenience of their own history, it is that it has distorted.
Korea and China, to condemn textbook of Japan is often distorted, but true? I think the Japanese, leading many people to think or so and really is said so there is many, but the Japanese do not know the situation in China and South Korea too. If you If you ask me, for example when compared to South Korea and Japan, and there is a distortion of one of the dozen Japan, South Korea would be to say that there is a distortion-nine out of ten. I have distorted the history itself of Korea as well as history about Japan. Made by arbitrary power of South Korea who "National history textbook Edition" is increasingly the trend exactly.
It is not taught at all the fact that with a lid on political disordering of the 500 year-end period Li morning, poor officer cage has Choryo job buying government sales avowed rampant, if there is Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula, the prominent example, Li It appears where you have to write it as if it was able to stand alone as a respectable nation in the morning. That 'is the view of history that do not know the actual situation.
If touches a little on that of Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula, education is extremely strong in all the people through annexation, modern health care system is established, heavy industry and agriculture fishery occurs, the basis for an industrial nation was built by the infrastructure development of social It is an obvious fact.
education of Koreans that after the end of the war, independent, and denounced it was a product of policy of aggression of Japanese imperialism Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula, it is to be self-centered that it has ignored the reality of history, how self-centered You do not need to say whether the interpretation Na.
In the textbook, for example, there is the following description.
The aim of the "Japan-Emperor, economic activity of our people in the industry usurpation policy of the Emperor. Day was that a raw material supply center and commodity markets necessary to the economic development of Japan and South Korea, to increase the national interests of their There was nothing for you to atrophy significantly, its development can be suppressed even ethnic industry, stagnate "
To do this, there is a deception of history too, and I will not even bother to comment. There is not so good do not know 500 years Lee morning, you're only trying to cover deliberately. Lee is a morning none other, was truncated bud ethnic industry, economic development and was a dream under the Li morning. Because thinkers and advanced who recite the modernization, as treason molecule, to their relatives also is being Shodan. Is it say even that you forgot, that kind of historical fact.
It is my position if say Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula it was really bad, is that Let's verify whether it is fact. This is called a lot of people this is really abused, such as was the comfort women, but can not say so much to me. It is because I know the truth of history. It is time, that I wrote a book it. I should I say If I had wrong.
Joseon state of slavery
I will be 80 years old. To come to live up to here, also for Japan for Korea, I want to talk to honest that I think of myself also. That is the real intention. That in South Korea for now, to announce to capture positively the Japanese occupation of the colonial era, a significant readiness could do with as you know. Extreme story, must be prepared also danger. But I think as my mission, and have to say absolutely.
Because, the fact distort the history, because would not mistaken the direction to go in the country. Interprets the history in selfish always interpretation, Korean people is, is has been destroyed error, the country again and again look at the actual situation in the original this fact. You feel uneasy, especially, it is that it is Shukua of Korean people. So especially true I do want to appeal the importance of see the truth of history.
Speaking of the recent phenomenon one, the movement of the South Korean government of North Korea is more it. Korea of Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula before is dominated by Joseon, it lasted 500 years. That time or was any. Japanese is too ignorant to it. The majority of people, even though suffering from hunger, tend only to protect the system of their own without having to look back at all, it was such a time. This is the same as North Korea now If say.
North Korea is not simply break all the legacy of Japanese rule, to be back in the era of Joseon. Now, if the rule is Japan annexed Korea hypothetically speaking, North Korea citizens except gold clan will no doubt shed tears of Zuiki.
South Korea, has been to North Korea more in the name of the sun such policy now for North Korea. The more we know the correct history of the Joseon era, it tells you whether it is funny how. The reality of Joseon or How was. Also why corrupt. Mr. Lee Korea with the opening of the country in 1392, there is a problem with its origins.
Lee Seong in the battle of Korea and Ming, was a senior statesman of Korea, will kick-off to the recapture of the Liaodong region in the fight against Ming. But Through the enemy secretly, and rebelled the military (Island of Yalu River downstream) Wei of island, killing the (Prime Minister and Chief of the General Staff) General Choi Ying of his superiors and Goryeo king when in reverse, Lee Seong the administration I was a usurpation.
Joseon subsequent you Uchitate With the power of the Ming was enemy is naturally under the thumb of Ming. Not exceed it can not refuse if required tribute, if you do not Kyoshutsu even married. People are slaves of ethnic, private property was also confiscated. And to change the pre-emptive kingship system, to abandon the international self-esteem has continued and has unbroken Korean nation is up to the Goryeo from ancient, degenerate I began as a vassal state of Ming.
Class system is immobilized in an environment like this, the spirit of ingenuity is crush, people will be subject to tyranny and exploitation. The king also without applying any policy in name only, it was the first time trackless budget of the state, it does not even exist in the government. The people I had been placed in a state of anarchy, so to speak.
Was exploited in Japan
In neighboring Li morning in such circumstances, Japan will celebrate the Meiji in 1868. World at the time is the age to eat something strong is weak. Russia Qing is also a large country for Japan. There was the Japanese sense of crisis Joseon, ie that coming to Japan from the Korean Peninsula the force, had become a vassal state of the Qing. So Japan is was necessary to tie the hand firmly and Korea to prevent it.
So in February 1876 (1876) year, I entered into a "Japan-DPRK friendship Joki" Lee and morning. It is a morning when Lee satisfied after 484 years have passed. Lee in Korea, there was a desire of wanting to be an independent nation it. I have appeared in the word "Korea country country of self" and in the first Article it. It has a very important significance.
However, the implementation is far from fact, invariably the people, aim of Japan that tries to break the master-slave relationship between Korea and those Qing, I had continued to taste the agony.
1897, Li morning renamed "Korean Empire" and Kokugo, it is set to "Gwangmu" the era, is referred to as the emperor king, escaped the shackles of the Ming and Qing to 510 over years, forming an independent state on the surface I was, but there was no place to change the tyranny of Li morning under the protection of the Qing. It is that to continue to reject the road of independence and modernization, the presence of Li morning, is made to the fact that his team was pregnant with disturbing species situation in East Asia among the great powers is wriggling it.
In 1904, it Mikane the devastation of these Korea, and dispatched as financial adviser eye how Tanetaro the (1853-1926 years) Japan declined to Russo-Japanese War, the financial support from Japan and then to the Sino-Japanese War I will be based on the posture, and rebuild as a decent country Li morning to arrive together at last.
The Surgeon General's Office eyes and how financial adviser, in addition to in order to compensate for the revenue shortfall of Korea, from tax of the Japanese people, was carried out interest-free, funds indefinitely "advance" in the Korean Empire government, we aid in direct spending .
For example, fiscal year 1907, there is only 7.48 million yen to state revenue of Korea, because there was 30 million yen more than necessary expenditure, full Japan has borne the difference. In 1908, this is increased further, Japan has been spending huge amounts of money that total 31 million yen.
To four years of age Commissioner Office, the revenue shortfall of Korea by the Japanese government reimbursement, I am up to 14.28 million yen. And not only that, the amount that the Japanese government has been spending directly to the field, such as police and judiciary, has reached several times the advance money, to 90 million yen.
In the history of Korea and South Korea of the current, there is no mention of the word in the preferential support of Japan like this. I think and we are only emphasizes the invasion, but that this is either a parochial how historical perspective and understand. I wrote the book about the number detailed them, but not the Korean people, by Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula, was the exploitation, you should acknowledge the fact was a Japanese citizen.
Label of pro-Japanese
In recent years South Korea, there is a movement to denounce political opponents using the word pro-Japanese. However, it is the first place funny word that pro-Japanese. I was in Tokyo from before the war, went to Pyongyang at the time such as Seoul 1-2 times a year. Korean at that time is more than Japanese Japanese. There was news in front of the movie and go to the theater, but the video for example that Japan had won the battle in New Guinea flows, such as Hurrah applause comes out all at once.
I like the theater, I was looking to go to Asakusa and also in Japan, figure, such as you see in Korea is negligible. All is joy like mad almost in Korea. It because it is just a normal figure as at the time, it does not mean pro specially. So is not the word pro-Japanese basically. And condemn I put it the label of the word "pro-Japanese" force it. It is that in Korea now, it is done in political.
The thing that stuck label has been done well in Japan. For example, right-wing words, militarism, such as beautification of war is it. Is stopped thinking to emit such a word, I give the impression that bad. In short, for whom different from themselves politically, to the other party or to confront and condemn put a label of pro-Japanese. Besides, not only the person, such as ancestor such as the parent, I would deny everything.
When MacArthur headquarters were let salvaged Japanese war is over, people over there is what let him goodbye. That is the reality. But for a person who was in exile is coming back from abroad, to save its inhabitants Korea Li morning late had become easy prey to the powers, work Ken Singh was merged with Japan at the time (such as Rican for) I was condemned to say traitors without evaluating any way.
They have done that in 1948 which stood three years from the end of World War II, and to punish caused the trial to make the law. But I mean pro-Japanese, in order to live on the spot, were not those who also punished merely worked anyone make an effort together.
However, it was done is such as light-soo Lee wrote in the paper measures to revive the nation fallen, but he was not there otherwise. So trial of pro-Japanese faction, are you finished once historically. So to blame because you are pro-Japanese afresh It is such strange things. But, I can not justify that what you are doing us If you do not do this. It is that kind of thing.
I mean, for example people who have fled from North Korea, and so was happy we economy has evolved at the time of Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula, there is a thought of criticism to the present regime. Stalin from the Soviet Union, such Bazoku or like Kim Il Sung came, was robbery everyone in the Korean War. It has become a ten million separated family members so several million people lost their lives. We are still in the public feeling of such complaints. In order to fend off the criticism, to try to protect their position to say bad Japan. Leader is not stir up anti-Japanese in order to eliminate from the public consciousness, the impression that Japanese kindhearted kind.
Persistently abduction of silence
So, such a move does not mean that protect the public in any way. A good example is the issue of the abduction of family. Abductees Korean War and later is now published with 142,953 names, but the appeal of the family not found the name in the relatives while have been abducted, it does not even be investigated in does not have an ear to hear at all .
I am pleased to announce the reason that the number of people seen previously, was kidnapped and more than one million. Even without reference to the reality that Japan is protecting their families and abductees also, in spite of there are so many victims, it is persistently of silence while tuning to the command of North Korea. And you are to respect the regime of North Korea that enslaved the people, are allowed to starve to death. It may be said that not a rescue anymore, and it is regarded as the enemy and their families abductees.
And in order to justify it, distort the history, to defend North Korea, I have been addicted to anti-Japanese, anti-American education thorough moot and fancy. Why be that way. It can be found by looking at the movement of those in power. Speaking in the vicinity, is that it is a former president, the current president of taking over it.
In South Korea, and it may be said that it is reality Lee soo light as if to point out, that lie, to cheat is not good at, does not the elected president even if there is popular. Former president is a well-known fact that originally, there is also criminal record of a death sentence in the communist, in close contact with the Kim Il Sung regime in North Korea, it is gold administration supporter of North Korea from the bone. Such When he spit the lie that it is "center-right" suddenly, I was elected president in Korean ethnic groups prefer to be deceived is to vote for him immediately.
President of South Korea, has a despotic power large enough to be safely ignored the law. That is why it is referred to as imperial president . It is not a rule of law, and that the rule of men state If say.
At that power, or attributed to north spy and North Korea condemned the traditional criminal abduction of Japanese nationals, to spicy light-Su also released, and several billion teachers 'union of from North Korea that was over crushed already (teachers' union) It has not revived or in support of a lot of money won. While taking a pro-North Korean policy that way, and also to rewrite national textbook, we organized all pro-North Korean ruling more of a broadcasting station.
Ie head with a absolute power is, to betrayal and enemy, provides the main enemy the national and treasure the people and, to settle under the umbrella of the enemy trick and flat-out lie. It is a Shukua of Korean people, as mentioned before, this can be said that the national crisis. History shows that that there is in South Korea such a problem.
Real enemy of South Korea China
And destruction of Baekje in 660 AD, the Passion of the first round would be a downfall of Goguryeo in 668 years. This is due to the betrayal of one's own country behavior of (thick Munetake burst king of Unified Silla) gold spring and autumn.
Rebellion The second was made by Taejo Lee formed pillar in 1392 set forth above, Horoboshi the cultural homeland, Korea boasts the world, dropped become a vassal state of the main enemy.
In North Korea occupation of running dog who Stalin in World War II during the Second World War, and the slaughter of the one million unit, put the starving person, national crisis of the third, has generated a discrete family of 10 million. The adulation the administration of such North Korea, in the rhetoric of solar policy, gold, Reed administration by providing information and funding mass murder and Nuclear armed main enemy, have education from within the anti-American, anti-Japanese to fourth It may be said also of national crisis.
This country is said to take the regime crowd of 3,000 if unity for a long time. This is also the reason cell of North Korean agents is to hear the width. The current state of North Korea, holding a life-and-death power rights of 20 million people core unit of 2000 people with the organizational strength. Now, I am trying to apply it to South Korea it.
Without face up to history, screaming "anti-Japanese" blindly is the pot that I think of North Korea. You must realize early on that.
It should be to further problem is China. South Korea I had won quite in the fight against China, but did not help being compliant of China by losing. was forced to so placed under the protection, only be subject to instruction. Moreover, it does not do things like that to develop there.
I mean not that it was as Korea and Taiwan, Japan as was free education and built a school with a lot of other equipment such as infrastructure development. It will not be the case at all even after a thousand years. It is exactly the same Russia. It is to be left in the national slavery short, will not be any development.
In that sense, the real enemy South Korea, the Korea is China. I do not mean popular, the hostility against China of course. This is where history has proven that, and also that is what it ground to Political.
Nevertheless, it does not become the story Japan, good country, South Korea and North Korea, Russia and China also bad because I mean America. I have been how it was, a good thing that Japan did. In other words, is the distortion of history.
The strong person who is weak weak to the strong
If you will be How can it find ways to resolve, this. The first, is to face up to history. Age if Kaware people change because it is history, it would be of course the difference comes out to the view. But it is to look at the calm eye of not twisting the facts of history. Due recognition is not only impossible not to root it, because I can not cooperate in cooperation specification each other.
And the important thing is, is that should assert that claim. I think Japan's current, unfortunately disqualified in that sense. I mean, it is that you want to be firm in Japan precisely when such. This is because there is a risk that in the Dakikon Korea North Korea and China has been interference Japan's necessary to deal firmly on the Korean Peninsula, as has been the vassal state Li morning. Of Koguryo history issue also has come out in reality. Because it is that it's the history of their own country, China will result in territory as well as their own thing.
It is not only against South Korea. You can say like your stuff, the Senkaku Islands are Japanese territory, I think Okinawa's own country. It does not yield to be a territory of their own also Taiwan.
What will be the Korean Peninsula, to Taiwan when it becomes the rule of China. Because there are American, there is also the idea that this is not the case, but Japan is a problem that we must think in Japan also. Be considered from the standpoint that has signed an alliance with the United States is important. China is aiming sea lanes is the life line of Japan also want to put under the jurisdiction of their own. Japanese industry is no longer viable If that happens, Japan's economic strength will decline rapidly.
So it aroused the Bushido of the Meiji era, Japan I want to deal with China to partner with South Korea firmly one now. Note that this is also important for the stability of Asia.
What happens and join hands with South Korea Japan is getting stronger. The end of the war before, was active in China in Manchuria was a Korean than Japanese. Person of the Korean people were using their strength from the Chinese on average, it came out strongly against China. Japan becomes stronger as the Japanese army in the Meiji era, people South Korea, the Korea is to become more Japanese to Japanese. In fact in Taiwan now, and have handed down the way of life of the Japanese than the Japanese. Japanese old, is that it worked in the field to do so to the truth. Is what it means, is that annexation itself that has not been the looting nor invasion.
Is that Confucianism, Neo-Confucianism of that is, because it is worship of the powerful only, Become bound in strong, that may also stepped on the weak in reverse. In front of the adult, it is always neat, but the swaggering in front of the children such as weak. This is the same in China. So I made that Japan is getting stronger, and it comes to dealing with South Korea and in China, the first time an equal relationship starts from there. Japan because corresponding Become a poor bearish, China Korea also came out strongly in the opposite, that the lie is also not coming poses his demands because of it.
Seoul cents fate of destruction
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is also Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. You are apologizing to go to Marco Polo Bridge. There is no need to apologize. Japan is not done. The soldier was shot is at Akita in Akita forces. I'm taking the documents in the interview.
It is that the share of historical perception that say China, as white as you say China. It should not be such a thing, nor should it be. The incident that Shina is Anti-Comintern war that Japan fought against the Chinese Communist Party. Must be clearly recognized this. Asia, the other side was trying to communism in China and Japan. Japan fought ambition of the Comintern in the Soviet Union with it there is behind. Asia, was not communism of Japan until defeated simply because there was the Japanese military. Manchuria and China and Korea also had been communism because Japan was defeated.
Does not mean that not in the world people know it. 11 Pius of Pope knew well. I put out a message to the October of the year Shina Incident began. Against Catholics of 350 million worldwide, Shina Incident of Japan is not a war of aggression. Are fighting the Communist Party. Of the Communist Party there has said the Catholic Church all over the world, believers and cooperation case feel free to Japanese troops. That's why when the post-war MacArthur tried to dismantle the Yasukuni Shrine, a Catholic priest Bitter, burn Father opposed.
There is a girls' school that Shirayurigakuen close to the Yasukuni Shrine. Students bow when crossing the front of the Yasukuni Shrine. I was curious whether why. It was a story that there was guidance and to reduce the head If you built your ask the Pope.
Chinese Communist Party wanted most the war after all. 1932, I have issued a declaration of war against Japan two years after the Manchurian Incident. I have put out something similar to the 1934. It is not strategy was to let the war between Japan and the Kuomintang army of Chiang Kai-shek, and to communism in China to stretch the power of their own in the meantime.
After the Sino incident began, there is a directive that Mao Zedong issued. In the war with Japan, it is the one case expand Tosei with a seven minutes power, whether compromise with the KMT as of half power, that case war with Japan as of one half the power of the rest.
China is a communist regime. There would be no reason that historical view of Japan that fought the war and the Anti-Comintern Communist Party fit. Japan that China clearly in such a thing. I can So I go up to the same level playing field for the first time. Japan is not running at a lower head before I go up to the ring of controversy. End
