Recently, there were messages exchanged after Hiromu Nonaka's visiting China, between Mr.Takahiro and Mr.Awesome, as following comments.
Apparently, as for happening of any engagement, still there's a hope left for us to hang on to, since Mr.Awesome has ever been addressing his state precisely correct with what his Government has, matching to the actual moves or remarks what the Government's proceeding lately, just like they're ensuring a credibility of his statement.

野中広務 in Beijin, just as “老兵は死なず”|Cluttered talk blab blab blab

Direct received message from Mr.Takahiro to Mr.Awesome

野中氏は当時を知っている数少ない人で、尖閣を先送りにする約束があったと語っておられます。これは当時を知る人との証言として間違いのないものだと思います。
尖閣の先送り、南京虐殺を認める、靖国神社へは政府の人間は参拝しない、これは日中国交回復に際して、周恩来国務院総理と田中角栄首相が約束したことです。


Nonaka, who's a rare person knowing how it was back then, telling there was a promise to suspend the Senkaku issue forward.
This time his testimony, should have been quite creditable.
There were promises ensured between 田中角栄 and 周恩来, before the renormalization was determined, as terms of suspending Senkaku issue, confirming 南京 massacre, and no worshipping Yasukuni by administration members.


文句を言っている日本の右翼にすれば、固有の領土を先送りする必要はない、事実も確認しないで南京虐殺を認めるのはおかしい、どこへ参拝しようが個人の自由といった話になります。白黒をつけなければならない領土の先送りは間違っていると右翼はいうでしょうが、国際関係はそのようなものではなく相手のある話であり、相手の事情も考慮して腹芸で受けてしまう事も当然あります。


According to Japanese right winger's complaints, there was no need to suspend our own territory's dispute, or it's not fair to admit if there was a massacre without researching process, and anyone might have a right to worship anything, these kinds of arguements pop up among them.
They would say that a territorial kind of issue shouldn't have been suspended in the first place, but there happens on international concerning negotiation, as something often exists requiring just both of consents.



自分たちが信じる原理原則とは違っていても約束は守ると言うのが、外交の基本ですが日本の右翼にはそれが理解できません。彼らは約束をとても軽んじる人たちです。


They can't understand that it's a very principle of diplomacy to keep promises tight, with no regard to the existance of difference from what's on each exact contracting party's mind.
Japanese right wingers, they are the people who wouldn't pay any attention to keep promise.


内閣も自民党も、かつての約束を軽んじる人たちで占められるようになってきており、野中広務氏、加藤紘一氏、河野洋平氏は既に自民党の中には居場所も発言の機会もなくなり、共産党の機関紙の「あかはた」のインタビューのなかで自分の考えを述べるといった状態になっています。


Currently, our administration or LDP has been dominantly occupied by those people who don't care promise, which tendency makes people like Hiromu Nonaka, Kouichi Kato, Youhei Kono, lost their places to be, or opportunities to represent their statements, at least they could have a place only at Akahata, which is a paper of Japanese Communist Party, so that they barely remark their own addresses.


三氏は自民党の中でも本流にいた人たちですが、それが安倍氏に代表される右翼勢力が党を支配するようになると、自分のリベラルな考え方を変えなければ、長老であっても党から追い出されるといった状態になってきています。


These 3 people had ever been in main stream of LDP, but now they hardly keep staying without changing their liberal stances to another even if a contributed old man, since the party has been occupied by right leaned power as Abe.


私は日中関係は、既に日本と中国の関係ではなくなり、中国と韓国と日本の平和主義で外国との約束を守り、日本に住む中国人や韓国人を差別するべきではないとと考える人たちが連携して、中国とのかつての約束を守らず、対立が深くなれば軍事衝突に持ち込み中国へ軍隊を進めたいと考えている、日本の軍国主義勢力との闘いになってきていると見ています。


In my current conclusion, Japan-China relationship issue, has become no more just a matter concerning both countries, but a beginning of a certain sort of clash.
The clash between two kinds of people, such as the people living in the three countries, China, South Korea, and Japan, who opt to keep promises to abroad, trying to be pacific, denying all of racistic discrimination against Chinese and Korean residents in Japan, versus other people with Japanese militaristic power, which breaking the promise we made once before, aiming to get engagement happen to dispatch troops into Chinese territory when the conflict gets deeper.


中国+韓国+リベラル派日本人VS右翼軍国主義者、といった構図になってきています。アメリカも右翼軍国主義者には警戒していますが、日本国内では右翼軍国主義者が支持を集める状態になってきています。右翼勢力は野中氏の発言についても、中国の手先に成り下がったとして攻撃をするでしょう、今の日本の状況ではそれを防いで、尖閣先送り合意があったという野中氏の話を多数の日本人に認めさせるのはとても困難だと思います。残念ながら日本の現実はとても暗い方へ向かっていると言わなくてはなりません。


There's such a dynamic appeared as China, South Korea and Japanese liberal versus right leaned militarists.
Domestically, the situation seems that the militarists are getting more supports, beside US has been taking precautions against them.
The right leaned people are going to accuse this time address of Nonaka, for the sake of his becoming a trator, defending China.
I think it would be too difficult to make many people to understand that there was a certain agreement of suspending the issue as Nonaka saying, in spite of current domestic mood.
Unfortunately, I have to say that our Japanese reality seems to get going into a dark side.


Mr. Takahiro,

Thanks for your sharing of thought.
Japanese right wingers have certain elements of ideas that resonate among Japanese. It is complicated and I understand it. But most people wouldn't like China and Japan divorce each other because it will not work. To mix angers with dispute with neighbors is wrong approach.For past 40 years since China and Japan renormalized relationship, the Senkaku issue wasn't a big one until last year when Noda “nationalized” it. If there weren't any agreements between two govts, verbal or written, the situation would have been very different kind.
As for clash between two nations, at this moment, the possibility is small. Abe, though tough in mouth, still tries to manage the situation. On China part, she will do best to put the issue aside. The fact that so many influential Japanese visited China since Abe govt in place and many of them received highest possible welcome meetings by Chinese side speaks volumes. I don't see that happened between Japan and any other govts.


たかひろさんへ

(私の考えを)理解してくださってありがとうございます。
日本の右翼の主張には、日本人の共感をそそるある種の要素があります。
それが複雑な事情であることは、わかっています。
しかし、ほとんどの人は中国と日本が破局することを決して望まないでしょう、それは無理だからです。
怒りを隣国との争いに向けることは、誤ったやり方です。
中国と日本の国交が正常化されてからの40年間の間、尖閣問題は大した問題ではありませんでした、野田が国有化をするまではです。
もしも両国政府の間に、成文化されていてもいなくても、合意がなかったならば、尖閣問題は全く違った展開になっていたでしょう。
現時点では、両国の衝突の可能性は、わずかです。
安倍は、口では強気なことを言っていますが、実は状況に対処しようとしています。
中国側では、中国としては、この問題を棚上げするために全力を尽くすつもりです。
実際には、安倍が政権についてから、多くの日本人実力者が訪中し、彼らの多くは中国側から最大の歓迎を受けたという事実が、大きな意味を持ちます。
このような大歓迎をすることは、これまでの対日関係においても、日本以外の他国との関係においても、ありませんでした。
