Japan diplomat committed suicide under threat from China: reports

Japan diplomat committed suicide under threat from China: reports

27 December 2005 Khaleej Times

TOKYO - A Japanese diplomat who committed suicide while based in Shanghai left suicide notes stating that Chinese intelligence was trying to blackmail him into leaking secret information, news reports said on Tuesday.

The suicide notes of the diplomat, whose name was withheld, spelt out how he was threatened by a Chinese agent over his relationship with a hostess at a karaoke club, the Weekly Bunshun magazine said.

The Japanese government acknowledged that the diplomat, a communications officer in his 40s who was in charge of encryption of classified communications with Tokyo, killed himself in May last year but declined to elaborate.

“If the incident as reported happened, we would have to take appropriate measures including filing a protest against the country involved,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe told a regular press conference.

In Beijing a Chinese foreign ministry official described the reports as “groundless”.

The Chinese intelligence agency wanted to know the contents of Tokyo-bound reports from the then Shanghai-based consul-general Nobuyuki Sugimoto, who was well-connected among local politicians and Communist party members, the Weekly Bunshun magazine said in a six-page report.

The agency also wanted information on Japanese encryption systems, the weekly said, citing various unnamed foreign ministry sources.

The top-selling Yomiuri Shimbun said the diplomat’s suicide notes revealed he had been pressed to leak information about which flights are used to carry classified documents from Shanghai to Japan and who worked at the consulate.

The Japanese foreign ministry’s internal investigation team has concluded that the consul killed himself under Chinese threat, the Bunshun said.

“If I were to do more, I would have to sell Japan. I cannot sell my own country,” one of the notes said, according to the Yomiuri and Bunshun.

Korean teachers tell students Korea should make war to Japan.

This article quote following blog's comment.
http://lostnomad.blogs.com/the_lost_nomad/2005/12/koreajapan_frie.html#comments

I'm often asked by my friends when we will return to my home country. You see, my wife and I have a child who will be of age to attend school in a few years. I used to say that we would return home in the next couple of years because we don't want him to be subjected to racism and bullying. But as of this year, my main concern isn't racism, but rather the fascist tendencies of many Korean school teachers. This came to my attention when our nephew, a bright young boy who could read and write in English and Korean when he was only 3 years old, told me he wanted a war between Korea and Japan. "All Japanese are bad because Dokdo is our land and they want to steal it", he said. I inquired as to where he had learned such a thing, to which he replied, "My teacher. She said Japan is bad." I proceeded to explain to him the evils of war and propaganda. After a long discussion, he finally came to his senses and said,"My teacher is silly." She is indeed.

It seems that Korean teachers tell students Korea should make war to Japan.
*Sigh*
I think Korea and Japan will never have a friendship even if Japane has a willing to have a friendship to Korea.....

Also, see my former atrticle.

Yahoo US and USA Today are liar. These are the real fabricated reports.

I reported Korean butcher dumped dog heads to channel in Tokyo in former article.(http://eastasiatopics.blogspot.com/2005/12/korean-butcher-who-lived-in-japan.html)

However, Yahoo US and USA today have hidden the fact that the butcher is a Korean.

And their report give you a impression which Japanese eat dogs. As a matter of fact, Japanese don’t have custom to eat dogs. Korean imported dog meat to sell them to Korean and dumped unsold head to channel. Japanese don't link to the crime.

Dozens of Beheaded Dogs Found in Tokyo

Fri Dec 16, 8:50 PM ET

TOKYO - Some 30 dog heads were found discarded in a moat near Tokyo's main detention center, police said Friday.

Police are investigating the bizarre incident outside the Tokyo Detention Center on suspicion of violation of animal protection law and vandalism, an official at nearby Kameari Police Department said.

The severed heads were mostly decomposed and some of them were skeletal, the police official said. The shape and size of the heads suggested they were of adult dogs, he said, adding that investigators believed no human heads were included.

He said police were planning on removing the heads from the water.

Late Friday, an 82-year-old man who runs a neighborhood meat shop admitted to dumping the dog heads into the moat, and police are questioning him, public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo News agency said.

The man, whose name was not released, told police that he imported the dogs — frozen and already separated into heads and bodies — from China to sell as food, Kyodo said. All the torsos had been sold, and as there was little interest in the heads, the butcher said he dumped them in the moat, hoping they would be eaten by the fish.

Police were not available late Friday to comment on the report.

The case surfaced after a passer-by found a head inside a shallow moat just outside the detention center and reported it to police.

World Cup

Do you remember 2002?

See these flash movies.( http://www.geocities.co.jp/CollegeLife-Lounge/8562/002e_beta.swf).
(http://kr.img.dc.yahoo.com/b13/data/cast/dc_uglykorean.swf)

-FIFA 10 big misjudgement includes four games of South Korea in World Cup 2002.

-The South Korean supporters made noise in front of a hotel which opponents stay in on the previous day of a South Korean game not to sleep them.

-Mr. Zidane(France) was injured in test game by South Korean team. ( I was so sad to hear his injury.)

-Aid which looks down upon a opponent.

Japanese Mass Media didn't report these Korean behaviors. Japanse Mass Media tended to hide these act of South Korea. Many Japanese people get angry at Korea and Japanese Mass Media.

See this page.(http://www.geocities.co.jp/Bookend-Hemingway/9421/englishside.html)
This page reported semifinal game between Germany and Korea in Japan.

We, Japanese volunteer supporters appealed "Fear Judgement!" deperately. But Japanese mass media ingore supporters and they have never broadcast supporter's appeal.

This World Cup 2002 is the trigger which many japanese have distrustness for Korea and Japanese Mass media. And this wave lead to the book named Kenkanryu(Hating Korean Booming). Many Japanese people notice we should not trust them. Many people begin to search their history and notice their affirmations are false.

And Japanese Mass Media appeal Korean boom but this is very narrow. Many people fed up with fabricated Korean boom.

We, Japanese supporters never never never believe Japanese mass media and Korea.

Confiscation for Pro-Japan Peaple’s property Low is established in South Korea

This article is sammry of following page.(Joins.com is Korean newspaper(written in Japanese)

http://japanese.joins.com/article/article.php?aid=70429&servcode=200&sectcode=200

Confiscation for Pro-Japan Peaple’s property Law is established in South Korea at Decenber 9 2005.

Korean govement can confiscate properties which Pro-Japan people make.. If your ancestor is pro-Japan, your property will confiscated to government.

All Korean congressional representatives approve this law.

Even if you are not pro-Japan, your properties will be confiscated because your grandfather or grandmother is Pro-Japan.

I can not believe it.

1. If your ancestor have a guilt, you will be a guilty.

2.This is a retroactive law.

3.You will be pernished if you support the specific country. Are there freedom of opinion in South Korea?

4. Nobodyis opposed to this law.

It seems that Koreans do everything to eliminate Japan.

親日派子孫「先祖の土地」取り戻しが難しくなる

親日行為を行った者が日本に協力した見返りで蓄積した財産を国庫に帰属させる「親日反民族行為者財産帰属特別法案」が7日、国会法制司法委員会(法司委) で可決された。これによって、親日派子孫らが国家を相手取り訴訟を起こし、土地を取りもどすことがむずかしくなる見込みだ。

法司委はこの 日、全体会議で与党「開かれたウリ党」(ウリ党)の崔竜圭(チェ・ヨンギュ)議員が発議した同法案を可決、本会議に渡 した。法案は、親日行為者のうち乙巳勒約(1905年)・韓日併合条約(1910年)の締結を主張した高官や爵位を受けるなど親日の程度が重大な人を「親 日反民族行為者」に定義付け、それらが当時取得した財産を国庫に帰属させる、としている。

対象となる財産は▽親日反民族行為者が日本に協 力した見返りで作った財産▽親日財産であることを認知して相続を受けたり、変形、増 殖した財産。弁護士・教授・学者ら9人からなる大統領傘下の調査委員会を設けて、親日関連財産を調べ、国庫帰属について協議する。同調査委は、関連財産調 査とともに、現在、日本人名義になっている土地を整理する業務も担当する。

The South Korean Sea Police demands the right of investigation which Japan has.

The South Korean Sea Police demands the right of investigation which Japan has.Many South Korean armed fish boat often catch fishes illegally in Japanese Sea Area.And also Korean fishers often stole fishes from Japanese fish farm and they run away. And they will refuge in Korean Sea Area if they are found by Japan Coast Guard’s ship.

Penalty in Korean low is fines, but in Japanese low it is jail and fines.

Japan Coast Guard(JCG) throws paint balls which include fluorescent paint to Korean fish boat which catches or stoles fishes illegally. Koreans complain that color ball make Korean fisher injured.

Are Korean nuts?

(1) Korean fishers are criminals. Why Krean police hear their word? The police should arrest the fishers.

(2) Korean fishers are armed. Color ball is softer than their arms.

(3) Korean sea police often help fishers to run away from Japanese Sea Area. I can not understand Koean sea police who helps criminals.

The South Korean Sea Police demands the right of investigation which Japan has?????

No way.

日本の経済水域で違法操業した韓国漁船の捜査権譲渡を韓国海洋警察が要求 波紋広がる


日本の経済水域で違法操業し、韓国側に逃げ込む漁船をめぐり、本来、日本側が持つ捜査権を韓国の海洋警察が日本側に要求し、波紋が広がっている。
韓国に漁船の捜査権を譲ってほしいという提案は、韓国で開かれている日韓の海上治安機関のトップ同士の会談の場で提起された。
違法操業した韓国の漁船は、日本の法律では懲役などの刑事罰が科せられるのに対し、韓国では罰金などの行政罰にしか問われないため、停船命令に応じず、韓国領海に逃げ込むケースがほとんどとなっている。
日本の海上保安庁は、発光塗料の入ったボールを投げるなどして追跡しているが、ボールが船員に当たり、けがをする事件があったことなどから、韓国世論の反発が強まり、韓国海上警察が、自国民保護の立場から身柄の引き渡しに応じにくくなった。
6日の会談で、韓国の海上警察は、6月の事件では監禁などの罪で刑事罰が科せられたことを挙げ、捜査権の譲渡を求めた。
捜査権の譲渡は過去に例がなく、主権の侵害にあたることなどから、日本の海上保安庁は拒否する姿勢を示したとみられるが、軽微な漁業法違反については、柔軟に対応することも検討している。

Japanese Foreign Minister Aso Part2

1. Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr Aso said "only South-Korea and China criticize Yasukuni Shrine. Let them alone." See my former article.

2.Ban Ki-moon, Korean Foreign Commerce Minister counter it.
Many councilors of Europian Union Parliament criticize Yasukuni Shrine because Europian people damaged by Japanese army.

3. Mr. Ursula Schtenzel(sorry, I don't know correct spelling) who is counclor of Europian Union
Parliament denys Ban Ki-moon's word.
Europian Union Parliament doesn't complain Yasukuni Schrine offically. It is different from fact.

------
...
Koreans hate Japan. (
Maybe they learned fake fact in school.) So, Kreans often tell lie to diminish Japan or get money from Japan. This is the typical case.
If you hear Korean's word which concerned Japan, you must check the thier word.

Korean Kimchi maker will file a group lawsuit.

I wrote "Kimchi Panic" in this blog. Please see the article before read this article.

This article is summary of http://japanese.yna.co.kr/service/article_view.asp?News_id=022005120104400(written in Japanese)
I summarize and translate it to English.

(From Seoul)
Kimchi Makers are devastated because the Korean goverment make a annoucement which parasitic insect are found in Korean Kimchi.

The head of Korean Foresty Export Assosiation announced following comment.
Korean kimchi which export to Japan decreace to 50%. Because the governmnet annouce parasitic worm thoughtlessly.

Kimchi export makers will sue the Korean government if the government make reparation for decrease of Kimchi's export

I can not understand their idea. It seems that Kimchi maker transfer to responsiblity to their government.
I thinkwhat Korean kimch makers need is inprovement for Kimchi's sanitary condition, not lawsuit.
