China's selective memory
Not a new item but anyway an important one. It's not a Westerner speaking, this time it's a Chinese. The message - I believe - is above all addressed to his compatriots. When I think of the forced labor in Japanese prison camps, I am reminded of forced labor camps in China, and also of the Chinese miners who lose their lives when forced to re-enter mines that everyone knows are unsafe. Are the rights of China's poor today really so much better protected than those of the wretched "colonized slaves" during the Japanese occupation? There was the Nanking massacre, but was not the murder of unarmed citizens in Beijing 16 years ago also a massacre? Is Japan's clumsy effort to cover up history in its textbooks any worse than the gaping omissions and biased blather in Chinese textbooks? Very courageous stance. I hope you won't consider him "anti-China". posted by Enzo on 04.28.05 at 11:27 PM in the![]() ![]()
