TPP. South Korea boycotts Japanese products by all means.
There is a "middle-income country trap" (a $10,000 trap for middle-income countries.Even if emerging countries grow, their national income will exceed $10,000 a year.The reason is that the per capita GDP will not exceed $10,000 if international competitiveness is weakened due to soaring labor costs, capitalism, and democracy are not guaranteed.
China is facing this barrier, even though it has just over $10,000.So far, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore have exceeded $10,000.In the case of China, large amounts of money are invested in certain industries by the state, but there are various barriers to spreading to other industries.In socialist and authoritarian countries, the economic impact is limited in part.
What is the economic effect of Korea's No Japan movement if Japanese beer is not sold and Korean beer is sold?The second is whether the beer market, including imports, has maintained or increased.If it's decreasing, it's nothing but economic negative economic situation.Is Uniqlo's sales down 100 percent to TOP 10?If everything is not transitioned, there is nothing for the economy but negative.The No Japan movement is not a systematic regulation, but in any case, regulation and oppression are meaningless to the economy.
Both Korea and China seem to be aiming to join the TPP, but the TPP presupposes free trade and free economy at home and abroad.China is out of the question of socialism, but Korea also has many state-owned enterprises.When a free trade agreement is signed, the fruits are absorbed by vested interests in the country, and the cycle of contributing to economic development is cut off somewhere.Above all, even if only the entrance is liberalized, if there are regulations that weaken the competitiveness of Japanese products due to domestic regulations, it is meaningless for Japan to trade within the TPP.China and South Korea still ban imports of agricultural products from Fukushima, but restrictions are being imposed on agricultural products without scientifically.First of all, South Korea is trying to boycott all Japanese products.
Taiwan lifted restrictions on Fukushima agricultural products in order to join the TPP.However, if you keep saying that you want to join TPP, you won't be able to join.
If you look at the Americas, you can understand what Asia was like at the time - an Asia that was in the grip of Western colonial policy on a global scale.
If we look at the Americas today, we can see the colonial policies of the time and then Asia. Are there any native countries in the Americas?
North America is mainly England, France, and the Netherlands. South America includes Spain and Portugal. The countries that currently exist in the Americas were countries that were able to go to sea during the Age of Discovery.
Were there any German or Italian colonies in the Americas? They cannot reach the Atlantic Ocean unless they pass through other countries' waters. Because its ports were frozen in the winter, Russia built the Trans-Siberian Railway on the continent and headed toward a colonial policy in Northeast Asia.
The terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway is Vladivostok, just a stone's throw from the Korean Peninsula. If we look at the composition of World War II in Europe, we can see that it was a war between countries pursuing colonial policies and other countries. In other words, the economic disparity created by colonial policy is at the root of the problem.
The dominant ethnic groups in the Americas include the British, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese.
What if we look at Asia? Similarly, it was a colony of England, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Portugal. Asia achieved independence one after another after the end of the war, so the Americas and Asia are in different environments, but if we look at their history, they were both part of the same web of colonial policy.
The Japan-Germany-Italy Tripartite Pact is a non-interference pact that states that neither side will interfere in wars in Europe between Germany and Italy, and wars in Asia between Japan and Japan. Japan had a common interest in the war to eliminate white colonies from Asia.
Germany and Italy, which were lagging behind in colonial policy, waged war in Europe, and Japan fought against white colonial rule in Asia.
If you look at the colonial policies in Asia during World War II, you can see the same faces as those in the current white homelands of the Americas.
Japan is supported and trusted in Asia, which experienced the Age of Discovery, the transformation of the world, and the Japanese colony.
The history of the world has changed drastically in the Age of Discovery. Asia was colonized one after another, exploited and treated like slaves. This is a relative view, compared to Europeans. Although it was colonized, it developed economically and life improved not a little. This is a real feeling of Asian countries. The reason why Japan is supported by Asian countries is that Japan did not enslave Asians and that it did everything necessary to build a modern nation with the power of its own people. I was educated about it. As a result, after the end of the war, Asian nations resisted the re-invasion of the West and became independent nations one after another. Asian countries colonized by Europe do not request an apology from Europe, nor do they make a request to Japan. This is the difference between whether or not you feel that you are moving forward, and whether or not you have a sense of ownership.
Montesquieu's understanding of race - Compare the words of the man who advocated separation of powers with the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration.
"The people in question are completely black from head to toe. And they have such flat noses that it's almost impossible to sympathize with them. They are extremely intelligent beings. I cannot agree with the idea that God could have placed a soul, a good soul, in such a pitch-black body."
"Proof that the Negro has no common sense is shown in the fact that he prizes glass necklaces more than gold, which is of such great importance among civilized nations. It is impossible to assume that they are human beings, because the more we assume that they are human, the more people will begin to think that we ourselves are not Christians. Because I’m deaf.”
The following is a joint declaration made at the Greater East Asia Conference held by Japan to unite the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
In the first place, the basis of establishing world peace is for each country in the world to find its own place, rely on and help each other, and share the joy of prospering together. However, for the sake of their own prosperity, the United States and Britain oppress other countries and peoples, and in particular they relentlessly invade and exploit Greater East Asia, exposing their ambition to enslave Greater East Asia. , and finally tried to fundamentally overturn the stability of Greater East Asia. This is the cause of the Greater East Asia War. The countries of Greater East Asia will cooperate with each other to fight through the Greater East Asia War, liberate the countries of Greater East Asia from the shackles of the United States and Britain, ensure their self-existence, and support the Greater East Asia based on the following platform. We hope that this will contribute to the establishment of world peace. The countries of Greater East Asia will work together to ensure stability in Greater East Asia and build an order of coexistence and mutual prosperity based on morality. The countries of Greater East Asia respect each other's independence and independence, and cooperate with each other to establish friendship in Greater East Asia. The countries of Greater East Asia will mutually respect their traditions, develop the creativity of each ethnic group, and enhance the culture of Greater East Asia. The countries of Greater East Asia will work together closely on a mutually beneficial basis to develop their economies and increase the prosperity of Greater East Asia. The countries of Greater East Asia will deepen exchanges with all countries, eliminate racial discrimination, widely exchange cultures, and willingly release their resources, thereby contributing to the development of the world.
If there are people who think that democracy has eliminated racial discrimination and that we should follow the example of white countries, that is a completely wrong historical understanding. Fierce resistance by people of color, mainly in Japan, brought an end to colonialism, and the international community then moved toward the elimination of racial discrimination. This is the truth.
In 1960, the United Nations adopted a declaration granting independence to the colonies, and the United Nations adopted the Act on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination for the first time in 1965 as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Japan was the first country in human history to submit a bill to the international community to eliminate racial discrimination, and that was in 1919.
Educational issues in Nepal and Japan's support activities - School education dissemination activities carried out during the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Japan supporting Nepal
Girls still have a low status
Japan continued to build schools in Asia
The Korean Peninsula had an overwhelmingly low literacy rate
Society will not change with institutions alone
Nepal shares a border with China and is a country that has been left behind in the development of Asia. Lumbini in Nepal is also the birthplace of Buddha, and today there are many Hindus. Is there a reason for the Chinese Communist Party's exclusion of Buddhism and Hinduism as part of its economic isolation? Japan has provided a lot of assistance to Nepal. Nepal ranks third in terms of international students studying in Japan.
It is still difficult for girls to attend school in rural areas of Nepal. Once they get married, they leave the house, and until then they are essential workers, and there is no economic reason for families to send their daughters to school. A man from Nepal who studied abroad at a Japanese university establishes a school in a village and goes to inspect it with Japanese people, but he runs into the wall of family circumstances in Nepal, and a girl who wants to attend school is unable to understand her father's understanding. I can't attend school because I can't get it. She goes there to persuade her father, a Nepali and a Japanese, to allow her to attend school.
During the Japanese colonial period, Japan established many schools in Asia. The same goes for the Korean Peninsula. There was a cultural and year-round barrier that is currently occurring in Nepal, and the Japanese had to repeat the task of persuading each child's parents about education forever. This includes not only the Korean Peninsula, but also all countries under Japanese rule, such as Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The first step is to improve the literacy rate. Historically, in Japan, many private schools called terakoya were established in towns because it would be inconvenient if you could not read, and it is said that the literacy rate was already at 80% in the Edo period.
Before the annexation of Japan and South Korea, the literacy rate on the Korean Peninsula was overwhelmingly low. It is said that 80% of the commoners other than the yangban were illiterate. When it comes to slaves, it is devastating. If you can't read, you can't study. Japan introduced a school education system on the Korean Peninsula, abolished the class system, and created an environment where all children could attend school. The teachers themselves visited the homes of parents who, for various reasons, were unable to send their children to school.
Just because we say we're going to abolish the class system starting tomorrow doesn't mean it will disappear the next day. It is said that slaves existed on the Korean Peninsula even in the 1930s, and there were still many children who could not attend school. It is important that many Japanese people not only introduced the system but also persuaded the people to change the common beliefs that had lasted for hundreds of years in order for the system to actually operate. is.
It is said that Korea was confiscated and enslaved by Japan, but where are the colonies that abolished the class system and introduced school education?
