  • “Given the increasingly severe international situation, I believe we may truly be at a turning point in history,” Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya said at the start of the meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul. “That makes it even more important to overcome division and confrontation through dialogue and cooperation,” he added.

    80th anniversary of the end of World War Two - which pitted China against Japan

    Interesting way of saying, “…in which Japan savagely attacked China and just about everywhere else in the region, and as far away as Pearl Harbor.”

    But we mustn’t be mean to our allies right? Nanjing was only a little massacre and they are already pissed off at us because our military personnel keep raping their women.

      I suppose South Korea is voluntarily hosting us, the US is the reason they even exist at all. And provided a large portion of their defense, but Japan is a very different story.
