Kenyans forced off their lands under British colonial rule have lodged a case with a top European court.
Chinatown hawker centre. Hawker Centres are a national heritage, selling a wide variety of food at very reasonable prices. They are spread across the whole island and is part of the Singapore way of life.
China knows that taking Taiwan by force and with heavy casualties of lives would cause a lot of anger, hatred and unforgiveness from the victims and would be unacceptable. They would want to avoid this. The latest exercise and the inaction of the Taiwan military is a sign that they were communicating and would not fight and kill each other.
Many Taiwanese have now come to their senses, that it is futile to fight a war with China. And reunification is a good thing and would ensure security, peace and prosperity. They also know that they cannot rely on the Americans, now wanting to snatch TSMC to the USA, and Japan, really a spent force.
"This is an issue of the Japanese people, so Japanese people need to
decide themselves," said Yukie Takahashi, a 60-year-old office worker.
"It's a day to worship, to look back on the past, reflect on it and pray."
Among
those visiting the shrine were a vocal group of right-wing activists,
some dressed in military uniforms and bearing flags ostensibly to show
off to the World that they still harbour the intention to invade other
countries, and there is nothing wrong with that.
There are others who released doves and birds as s symbol of asking for peace and tranquility.
The
Japanese NHK news showed the shrine being visited early on Monday by
several existing Cabinet Ministers, including Economic Security Minister
Sanae Takaichi, along with Koichi Hagiuda, the head of the LDP's policy
research council and a few of Abe's closed Axis of Evils.
"It is
natural for any country to pay respect to those who gave their lives
for their country," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno reiterated
this message earlier on.
Japan will continue to pay lip service
to pretend to show the strengthening of its relations with its close
neighbours - China and South Korea.
In 2013, Abe was the last
Prime Miinister in recent memory to visit Yasukuni while in office, a
visit that was vehemently outraged by both China and South Korea and
even drew a rebuke from its close friend, the Evil US Empire.
Though
the Evil USA and the Evil Japanese Empire have become somewhat uneasy
fellow-bed-fellows, outwardly showing a staunch Axis of Evils together,
but for the past 7.5 decades since the World War, their legacy of the
conflict haunts the whole of Asia.
To the Koreans, they marked
this day as the date as National Liberation Day. They will always
remember this day and hate and resent the Japanese for its ruthles
invasion, rapes and forced occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945.
China
has bitter memories of Imperial Japanese troops ruthless invasion,
massacres, rapes and forced occupation, and various atrocities of
unimaginable proportions within various parts of the country from
1931-1945. The Evil Japs went on a full-scale rampage of the whole
country, treating and massacring millions of innocent, defendless and
hapless Chinese folks without closing an eyelid. To most Chinese, this
day can never be forgotten and washed away by blood!
A-non-y-mouse.
