Chinese Anti-Japan Protests

Chinese Anti-Japan Protests 04/19/2005 03:56 AM

There is a good blog post by Andrea about bloggers in China talking about the anti-Japan protests.

As a Japanese who has a great deal of sympathy and empathy for China, what I find difficult is trying to understand the various threads and how Japanese people can try to make a difference. In particular, the hateful and extreme actions of some of the Chinese make it difficult, if not scary to even try to open a dialog. At the same time, the extremes in China are fueling the nationalists in Japan and not helping the cause for the more moderate voices. I believe hate will never help communications.

One of the biggest problems is that most Japanese don't understand the issues. Another point is that most Japanese are not great supporters of the military. When I think about the military in Japan, I don't think dirty nationalist thoughts. Rather, I think about May 15, 1932 when Prime Minister Inukai was assassinated by the military which ended party-based politics in Japan until after WWII. I think about the Japanese military taking over the government and sending Japan into one of the worst periods in its history. I think about the small children being sent off to war as Kamikaze or human torpedos and I think about the letters homes from them that are enshrined in Yasukuni Shrine. There are letters from terrified little boys writing about how scared they are about going to war. Most Japanese do not trust the military and most Japanese believe that the military run government of the 30's was an illegitimate government as a result of a coup. Many Japanese believe that the Japanese people were victims of the military.

Having said that, I do think that the text books and teaching in Japan underplays the actions of the military in China and I believe the Japanese text books are a real problem that should be addressed. I really think that the Japanese don't understand how victimized the Chinese and Koreans were and I believe this education needs to occur. I would point out that it is not just this aspect of Japanese textbooks that is broken. Japanese text don't use the word "revolution" or "civil war". It was the "Meiji Restoration", "The American fight for independence", the US Civil War is the "North South War" etc. There was a move to simplify Pi to just 3. In other words, the Japanese ministry of education needs an overhaul. Maybe they should use Wikipedia instead.

I'm not trying to trivialize the issues that are being protested by the Chinese, but if they are trying to cause change in Japan, maybe some of them can try to talk to their allies in Japan like me instead of trying to force or scare into submission their enemy. A reasonable bridge building effort between activists and experts on both sides to try to address the issues through tactical maneuvers might be useful.

Or am I missing the point completely?

Chinese Internet Filters Not Effective

Chinese Internet Filters Not Effective 04/26/2004 04:07 PM
For the past few years there have been conflicting reports about the effectiveness of internet filters in China. Initially, the reports said that they weren't particularly effective - but reports last year seemed to indicate that they'd gotten much better. As you might imagine, though, these things do not stay constant, and this report from China suggests that last year's filters were a bit too effective, making it more difficult for many companies to benefit from the internet. Thus, it appears that Chinese authorities have backed down to less effective filters that are easily bypassed - and only ratchet up the filters during specific news events where they're more concerned about public opinion.

We all know China censors large portions of the Internet and for Americans living in China this would in a word "suck". I have had to deal with mini censorship of sites when working overseas and getting connectivity thru network lines paid for by Uncle Sam. That comes with the job but to be on a commercial Internet account that is state regulated definitely makes you realize that communism is still alive.

Ya for those of you that forgot China is still a communist state. Well anyway the ex-pats need some help I am sure the author of the letter would have wished it stay a little more private Dan Gillmor has it up on his site.

Anti-Japan protests in China 04/16/2005 08:44 PM
Reports of recent Anti-Japanese demonstrations in China lack any details about the content in the disputed history text books. Is it related to the Nanjing Massacre, which Iris Chang wrote about in her much contested book " The Rape of Nanking"? The Chinese government is certainly not acting as a shining example of upholding human rights by any means, but does that deprive its people from the right to have part of their history at least adequately remembered ? And is the Chinese Government using this collective wound to further its own national interests such as keeping Japan from joining the UNSC?

Looks like the porn police have kicked into high gear in Malaysia. The government there has just said that all cyber cafes must use web porn filters. We assume this is being done for the sake of the children, as all earnest anti-porn measures are, though the story doesn't quite make clear what the real intention is. Still, as many people pointed out when the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of manda tory filtering in libraries, the filters will cause many more problems than they'll fix. Namely, they'll do a bad job of actually blocking porn sites, they'll inadvertently block many reasonable and useful non-porn sites, and they'll be very costly to implement. Even worse, the Malaysian mandate will be forced on private businesses, not on free public computers in libraries. One service provider quoted in the story says that it's only censorship if filtering is done by the ISP, rather than software on the PCs -- where the owner of the PCs gets to pick what filters to use. However, since those filters are mandatory, it certainly seems to qualify as censorship under most definitions we know. The really unfortunate part is that, unlike millions of people in the US, many Malaysians probably don't have a home computer they can fall back on when the government goes overboard with useless filtering on publicly accessible computers.
