Professor Seo Kyung-deok criticizes the Rising Sun flag
In South Korea, a professor named Seo Kyung-duk claimed that the Rising Sun flag was the same as the Nazi Hakenkreuz, and every time he sent an email to its maker just because he used a pattern similar to the Rising Sun flag. They are conducting an anti-Japan movement in the name of correcting historical perceptions. Although it is sometimes featured in the news in Japan, the Hakenkreuz was originally the party flag of the Nazi Party, and the reason why it was made into the national flag means that the flag was abolished when the Nazi Party was disbanded, so from this background. The background is completely different. Although the Rising Sun flag is the flag of a party, it does not represent a particular ideological group, but is interpreted as an expression of Japanese culture's belief in the sun.
Are the Nazis and Japan the same?
South Korea claims that it was invaded by Japan and that the Rising Sun flag is a symbol of Japanese militarism, but then it is necessary to compare the reality of Jewish rule under the Nazis with the actual treatment of Korean peninsula people during the annexation of Japan and Korea. would need to. This is because South Korea claims that it was in the same situation as the Jews. Take the Nuremberg Laws as an example, in the sense that if it meant repression by the state, there would be a legal system.
Nuremberg Laws and Eugenics Thoughts
The Nuremberg Laws are anti-Semitic laws enacted by the Nazis in １９３５. Jews living in Germany were not considered citizens of the Empire and were prohibited from marrying or having sex outside of marriage with "Germans or their blood relatives." These acts are considered ``racial misconduct,'' and if discovered, they are subject to criminal penalties. The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German Peoples required all prospective marriage partners to obtain a certificate of compatibility for marriage from public health authorities. Germany did not allow Jews to participate in the １９３６ Olympic Games in Berlin. This is based on the Nazis' eugenic ideology based on Aryan supremacy, and the swastika on the Nazi party flag is depicted as a symbol of the Aryan race. In other words, the Nazis' massacre of Jews was racial persecution based on this eugenic ideology, and as a result, it turned into a campaign of ethnic annihilation (genocide).
Japan-Korea annexation liberated slaves
The period of Japan's annexation of Korea was completely different, with Koreans on the peninsula being granted citizenship as Japanese and following the same laws. They were given the right to vote, were free to socialize and marry, and used the same public facilities and schools. Son Gee-young, who is from the Korean peninsula, participated in the Olympics as a representative and won a gold medal in the marathon. This competition was the １９３６ Berlin Games, in which Jews were prohibited from participating. Japan liberated the Korean peninsula from its status as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, liberated slaves, who accounted for ４０% of the population, and made them equal citizens. If you compare the Nazis with Japan, the opposite is true.

Why is Taiwan so different from Korea? That's a big difference in the spirit of national foundation.difference in the oath of independence between the two countries
If you think about why Taiwan and Korea are so different, there are differences in national character, but there is no solution.The division of the Korean Peninsula was born in the Cold War structure, not in the form of socialism and democracy.It is a mysterious structure of confrontation between military dictatorship and socialism.In Taiwan, the Kuomintang, which confronts the Communist Party of China, is a one-party dictatorship, not a democracy.
In Korea, people who cooperated with Japan were purged and excluded.Pro-Japanese forces rioted in Taiwan after the eight-year-old Nihil incidents.The Kuomintang government later purged local intellectuals and communists for fear of a recurrence.I thought this would be the same, but I looked into various things to see if there was a purge of pro-Japanese forces, but I couldn't find it.
Korea and Taiwan have many things in common.After the end of World War II, Japan's founding was not a democracy that confronted socialism.South Korea is confronting North Korea and Taiwan is confronting the Communist Party of China.Both countries have become democracies.
There is a clear difference between Chiang Kai-shek's speech on August 15.The following is excerpts from the interview with Alperovitch.
Chiang Kai-shek 8.15 Speech
Our compatriots in China (Taiwan) should know that "not thinking about old evils" and "doing good to others" are the high and precious virtues of our national tradition.We have consistently stated that we do not regard the Japanese people as enemies, but only the warlords who use Japan's tyrannical and atrocious force as enemies.Today the enemy forces were defeated jointly by our allies defeated by our allies.Needless to say, we will strictly encourage them to carry out all the terms of surrender.But we must not retaliate, let alone insult innocent people.We can only treat them with mercy that they are mocked and driven by Nazi warlords so that they can escape their mistakes and sins.If you respond with violence to the atrocities committed by your enemies, and with servile humiliation to their sense of superiority, vengeance will call for vengeance and will never end.This is by no means the object of our fight for humanity.This is especially important for our fellow soldiers and civilians today.
Chiang Kai-shek, like Lee Seung-man, cited the Nazis, but his goal was completely different.This may have greatly divided the future of the two countries.
The provisional government of the Republic of Korea in the preamble to the Korean Constitution has been sworn in by the provisional government."Our justice is really superior to Japanese violence."Wake up and be the last one."
Kim Ok - kyun and Lee Joseon Kim Ok-kyun, not Ahn Jung-geun, was the hero if you think about the world at that time.If he had defeated Lee and laid the way for modernization, he would have become a Sun Yat-sen of the Korean Peninsula.Kim Ok-kyun was assassinated in Shanghai, but Queen Min feared that the Joseon dynasty would be overthrown.
The assassination took place on March 28, 1894.The Sino-Japanese War broke out on July 25, 1894, and less than half a year later, Qing, who supported Queen Min, was defeated by Japan and the Korean Peninsula became a protectorate of Japan.The Korean Peninsula failed to shed its former dynastic state.It was impossible to modernize while taking over the old Joseon Dynasty.Far from staying, the world trend has accelerated, and the Joseon dynasty has not changed a bit.
It was Seo Jae-pil, Kim Ok-kyun's brother, who celebrated the independence of his motherland.It has nothing to do with the Joseon Dynasty or the Korean Empire.
The forced labor issue is one that recognizes the annexation of Japan and South Korea as an illegal act and allows claims for compensation for forced labor.
Korean Ambassador to Japan proposes subrogation payment
Is it an unpaid wage issue or a tort issue?
Past tort disputes
There are no actual cases in which a tort has been recognized under international law
Mr. Yun Deok-min, who has been appointed as the Korean ambassador to Japan under the newly inaugurated Yun Seok-Yeong administration, seems to be proposing a plan for the South Korean government to make subrogation payments regarding the issue of conscripted labor. has two completely different points. The issues are ``unpaid wages'' and ``illegal acts.''
One is the issue of ``unpaid wages,'' which arose during discussions in the Japan-Korea Claims Agreement when Koreans moved to the Korean peninsula immediately after the war, or when Japanese companies moved from the Korean peninsula.
This was included in the 1965 agreement as post-war compensation, and the South Korean side received it, and even after that, under the Lu Moo-hyun administration, the South Korean government continued to compensate the unpaid wages of conscripted workers as included in the 1965 agreement. Going .
The current issue of conscripted labor is that the conscription itself is forced labor, which is illegal under international law, and is an anti-humanitarian act directly connected to illegal colonial rule and the waging of a war of aggression. This is a ``claim for compensation'' based on a unilateral decision made by the Supreme Court.
This is also the issue of forced to work (requisition recognized under international law) or forced labor (forced labor not recognized under international law), which was disputed when Gunkanjima was applied for as a World Heritage Site. It goes without saying that the National General Mobilization Order applies equally to all citizens and is a legal form of forced to work under international law.The use of forced to work in the registration of Gunkanjima as a UNESCO World Heritage Site also allowed the South Korean side to has also agreed.
No international military tribunal has ever been held on the Korean peninsula since the end of the war, and there has never been a single case of a war criminal on the Korean peninsula, and no one has been tried as a war criminal. There is no fact that the annexation of Japan and South Korea is illegal, nor is there a single fact that the forced recruitment related to recruitment has been recognized as illegal under international law.
In other words, the key point in the current issue of forced labor is that the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that it was an illegal act without any basis or reference to international law. In this sense, Yoon Deok-min uses the expression "subrogated payment," but it seems quite strange. This is because the illegality of conscription and the annexation of Japan and South Korea itself does not exist.
Japan - Korea Treaty of Amity Treating Korea as an Independent Country The attitude of not recognizing the Emperor has not changed since this era.
Although the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity signed in 1876 has the aspect of being an unequal treaty, it was the first treaty that made Korea an independent country, and served as the catalyst for the opening of the Joseon Dynasty. Also known as the Ganghwa Island Treaty. Although Japan and North Korea had diplomatic relations through Korean envoys during the Edo period, Korea did not receive Emperor Meiji's state letter after the Meiji Restoration.
The reason was that although they had an equal relationship with the Tokugawa, the existence of an emperor who had the Tokugawa as a vassal meant that the Korean dynasty was positioned as a lower rank, and that the emperor was in a relationship with the Tokugawa as a vassal. The reason was that he couldn't admit it. At this point, diplomatic relations between Japan and North Korea were severed.
Korea still calls the Emperor Ni-Ko. Not recognizing the title of Emperor means that nothing has changed in this historical period.
After the Ganghwa Island Incident, an armed conflict between Japan and North Korea that occurred in 1875, Japan demanded an apology and demanded that the Qing Dynasty take responsibility as its suzerain. In response, the Qing Dynasty stated, ``Although Korea is a vassal state, it has a separate ethnicity and a different political form, and the Qing Dynasty is not responsible..'' Based on this, the first clause of the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity would state, ``Korea is recognized as an independent country and a nation with equal rights with Japan.''
Although they were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, diplomatic relations between the two countries began despite some contradictions as they were independent states. After that, after the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in 1895 stating that ``Qing China confirmed that Korea is a completely independent and autonomous country, and that any contribution or contribution from Korea that would damage its independence and independence to Qing China was prohibited.'' ``The liturgy, etc. shall be abolished forever,'' and Korea became an independent country in both name and reality. The person responsible on the Japanese side for concluding this treaty was Hirobumi Ito.
Korea has not been an independent country for hundreds of years. It was Japan that made it an independent country.
Korean Empire It is strange to call the emperor king, saying that the Chinese emperor is the only emperor, that the Korean Peninsula is a king, and that Japan is king.Japan is not originally a subject of China.The Korean Empire was founded after the Sino-Japanese War. King Gojong said we are no longer a subordinate country to China, so it needs to have the title of emperor.That's why it's the Korean Empire.Although it was under Japan's protection, Japan approved it.The Emperor's Imperial Rescript, which led to the annexation of Japan and South Korea, also states that he is the Emperor of Korea.
