Nauru’s President David Adeang will deliver a statement in this regard at the next parliament sitting, and a national address on local television and radio channels, the post said.

China appreciates and welcomes the decision of the government of the Republic of Nauru to recognize the one-China principle, break the so-called diplomatic ties with Taiwan, and to reestablish diplomatic ties with China, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

China stands ready to work with Nauru to open new chapters of bilateral relations on the basis of the one-China principle, said the spokesperson.

Karate Kid Movie [1984] Blu-Ray – “Mr Miyagi” Reconsidered! (14.1.2024)

The authors of the film ‘Karate Kid’ (1984) had a paradox to overcome. On the one hand they wanted a traditional ‘Okinawan’ Karate-Do master – who at the same time had NOTHING to do with Okinawa either before or during WWII! This entire idea is racist and disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Okinawan men, women and children who died being trapped between the Imperial Japanese Army and the invading US Marines – and those who died fighting the Americans or were murdered by US troops after surrender. Of course, many thousands of Okinawan women and girls were raped by US troops once captured. Although Mr Miyagi had to represent everything ‘martial’ that defines Okinawan history – including its stand against the invading US Forces – he also had to be completely ‘detached’ from everything ethnically ‘Okinawan’ so as not to disturb the Eurocentric sensitivities of the average US audience!

Japan - Animals More Important Than Humans!

Japan Apologises for Two Animal Deaths – Whilst Refusing to Apologise for Its 1930s & 1940s War Crimes! (7.1.2024)

A Japanese Airline has ‘apologised’ for the deaths of two-animals travelling in the hold of a crashed airliner – whilst routine cruelty to animals in Japan is well-known. As post-1945 Japan is both a colony and ally of the US – everything repugnant to US cultural sensitivities is played-down and instead falsely ‘projected’ upon (Socialist) China! China’s CPC-led great development of Animal Rights is continuously ‘ignored’ by the US and Western-media and so fake puff-pieces such as can be seen below – are published to divert the short attention-span of the West! Meanwhile, whilst the Japanese Airline in question stresses it places the sanctity of ‘human life’ above that of privileged animals – the lost lives of millions of ordinary men, women and children murdered throughout Asia and China during the 1930s and 1940s by the Imperial Japanese Forces (including three failed conflicts with the USSR during 1938, 1939, and 1945) – are ‘ignored’ and even ‘denied’ by successive Japanese governments!

China Commemorates Anniversary of War Against Japanese Aggression [1931-1945]! (18.9.2023)

About 3 km from the museum lies the Beidaying (Northern Grand Barracks) site that the Japanese troops bombarded. It officially reopened to visitors as an exhibition hall after renovations at the end of 2021.

Through more than 400 historical photos, over 200 relics, electronic maps, scene restorations, panoramic sand tables and other modern techniques, visitors can revisit the history at the exhibition hall.

Wang Lei, a resident of Shenyang, who lives near the former site of the Beidaying Site, said, “There were a few ordinary bungalows here, but now the site has been turned into an exhibition hall. It is very important to remember the history of the war. We should let young people know that this is the place where our national calamity occurred.”

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.
