Why is Taiwan different from Korea, which also experienced Japanese rule?
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.
Although Taiwan and Korea have a lot in common
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.
POINT 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."

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 contributes to other countries' World Heritage Sites.Seokguram, which Korea claims Japan destroyed, is registered as a World Heritage Site.
Regarding the Moai statue on Easter Island, there is also a Moai statue in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.It looks like Japan built a replica of the Moai statue on its own, but it was a Japanese company that restored the Moai statue on Easter Island.The restoration listed Rapanyi National Park on Easter Island as a World Heritage Site.In return, Japan was allowed the reproduction of the Moai statue.
There is a bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam.In 1593, Japanese who lived in a Japanese town built a bridge.It is popular among Vietnamese as Nihonbashi.Young Vietnamese couples take wedding photos in front of the bridge.Hoi An, where this bridge is located, has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
There is Seokguram in Korea.It was discovered by a postman in 1909 during delivery.Since 1915, the Japanese have been repairing buildings that are about to collapse.After the end of Japanese rule, Korea restored it again in 1961, but Korea rearranged them into its own arrangement and they said the reason was Japan arranged Buddha statues in a random way.Afterwards, the photos and detailed layout of Seokguram were found and it became clear that japanese arrangement was correct. But Korea said, "Seokguram was perfectly preserved for more than 1,000 years, but Japan was jealous and damaged it with cement and concrete."Seokguram was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.
Seokguram was just an abandoned ruin until Japan restored it.
Who is Syngman Rhee? - The first anti - Japanese president who knows nothing about the Japanese colonial period - No connection to the March 1 independence movement
Is Syngman Rhee a former pro-Japanese reformist?
Where did independence gate come from?
Syngman Rhee does not know about the Japanese colonial era
Anti-Japanese government established as a US puppet government
There are many strange things about Syngman Rhee from Japan. Upon investigation, it appears that he was also a founding member of Seo Jae-bi's Independent Association. Speaking of Seo Jae-bi, he was a central figure in establishing the Seoul Independence Gate after the Sino-Japanese War, and was a pro-Japanese faction who started the Gakshin Coup with Kim Ok-gyun. Kim Ok-gyun defected to Japan and became friends with Yukichi Fukuzawa and others, and was assassinated in Shanghai by an assassin sent by Queen Min.
So when did independence gate change to independence gate from Japan? Independence Gate was established by Seo Jae-bi and the Independence Association to celebrate the independence of the Korean peninsula after the Sino-Japanese War, but Koreans still firmly believe that it is an independent gate from Japan.
In 1897, he was imprisoned for distributing leaflets demanding Gojong's abdication, and after being released from prison in 1904, he lived in the United States until 1919, and was not involved in the March First Independence Movement. Although he established a provisional government in Shanghai in response to the momentum of the March 1st independence movement, he was ousted due to factional conflict and moved to Hawaii after just one year. In other words, he was not on the Korean peninsula from 1904 until the end of the war in 1945. He lives in America, which means he has never experienced Japanese rule.
Syngman Rhee's postwar administration of the Korean peninsula can be considered to have been truly administered from an American perspective. It is completely blank on topics such as the annexation of Japan and Korea and the modernization of the Korean peninsula. He may have even been observing the Russo-Japanese War from an American perspective. His policies were linked to those of GHQ, and must have been completely linked to anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States. In any case, there is no doubt that the foundations of the anti-Japanese structure were built during the Syngman Rhee era and continue to exist today.
History closed due to the abolition of kanji - Korean education that does not know history and cannot read history.
In South Korea, it is said that if you don't know history, you won't be able to become a fine adult. History is one of the subjects in Japan, and many science and math students don't like history and don't study it much. At least I don't think that I can't become a fine adult.
There is a question as to whether Koreans are actually interested in history. The problem, rather than differences in historical understanding, is the method of approach. It is said that the Korean peninsula was colonized by Japan, but it is strange why we do not learn about the history of the development of the Korean peninsula. History is all about learning both sides, but in South Korea, only the story of being ruled and oppressed appears.
Who are the Japanese who introduced history, civil engineering, engineering, chemistry, medicine, and various other social infrastructures and social systems, and what kind of person is that person? Although these things remain as historical facts, they are never adopted in history and are dismissed. Would it be possible to learn history without learning that? The best approach to studying history is to look directly at the Korean Peninsula of that era and think from that perspective.
They only shout that they were ruled by Japan, but the facts that developed during that time are hidden. History education is about learning both.
What about Japanese rule in Asia? If you compare the colonial forms under Japanese rule in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, Vietnam, etc., you should be able to see the Japanese style of colonial management at the time, but it seems that South Korea does not have that perspective. There doesn't seem to be any.
Speaking of colonies, what is the difference from Western colonies? When did it start and what process did it take to spread to Asia? Even though they are called Western countries, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have different colonial management styles. The concept of history that South Korea presents to Japan is fixed and does not have a multifaceted perspective. It is a one-dimensional understanding of history that begins with Japanese rule, and since even China does not enter into it, it is not Oriental history either. Or even seen as creative history.
Materials from the Japanese colonial period are kept in Japan. Of course, it was written in the Japanese of the time. Minutes and resolutions are public documents and can be viewed by the general public. This means that the information is accessible even to Koreans who can read Japanese. In order to understand the Japanese colonial period, Korean historians should have access to it, but this is not the approach at all. So when you ask them what kind of materials their historical claims are based on, nothing comes out.
I wonder if there are any historians in Korea who can't read kanji? South Korea abolished kanji in 1970, and the generations after that were unable to read kanji. If you can't read kanji, you won't be able to read history from the Japanese colonial period or even before that.
The abolition of Chinese characters is also greatly involved in Korean historical awareness. If you can't read kanji, you won't even be able to access past documents.
Ahn Jung - geun didn't know Ito' His autobiography shows that Ahn did not know Ito's face.How did you know that Ito Hirobumi, who didn't even know his face, visited Halpin Station at that time on October 26, 1909?
--The last page of Ahn Jung-geun's autobiography--
First, he fired at an old man with a yellow face and a beard.
I don't know Ito's face, so if I mistake him for someone else, it's big blunder, so I fired at the most dignified person.
