In Japan even a TV journalist taking part in a Saturday afternoon information/entertainment show picks up the Senkaku issue, saying, "Japan's territory is shrinking!"
As Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan promised secretly to China not to make the Senkaku video publicly open, Japan's honor is yet to be fully recovered. Even if it is a strategy of P.M. Mr. Kan to save face of China, the Japanese people want justice more than an appeasement policy on malicious despotic state China.
SECTION I: Why China Looks Honest to American Media Elites
First of all, look at the map below that shows China's plan to expand its naval deployment and establish hegemony in the West Pacific region.
(Click to enlarge.)China has declared officially that it will have its naval fleets deployed from the west of Hawaii to the north of Australia, suppressing South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Yet, as I introduced yesterday, the following is the pledge and the promise China made when Japan and China concluded "Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Japan and the People's Republic of China." Based on this treaty, Japan started lucrative provision of great financial and technological aid to China:
----------------
Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Japan and the People's Republic of China
August 12, 1978
[Article II]
The contracting Parties declare that neither of them should seek hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region or in any other region and that each is opposed to efforts by any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony. ...

But, China continued to build large-scale military capability, by increasing its military budget scores of times.
So, all the Japanese know that China is a liar and a betrayer. Whatever China officially announces, the Japanese people first doubt and suspect its truthfulness. The point is how many percentages China embeds truth in its official announcement and data, which is Japanese commonsense. It is also commonsense of Americans doing fair business in China.
But, American media elites lack this ability to doubt and suspect credibility of Chinese announcements and data.
When China first said that Japan Coast Guard ships violently hit a Chinese fishing boat around China's Senkaku Islands, American media elites should have first thought that truth must have been Japan Coast Guard ships were violently hit by a Chinese fishing boat around Japan's Senkaku Islands.
Now, will American media elites attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to be held in Norway?
Anyway, let's confirm the lie the Chinese Communist Government tried to disseminate to the world, while the Japanese Government has refrained from making public the video showing violent actions of the Chinese fishing boat out of regard of honor of China.
The following is false and malicious illustration of the so called "collision" authorized and made public to the world by the Chinese Government trying to have Japan lose face:
Liars in the Chinese Communist Government can always find friends in The New York Times. This is a lesson we have to learn.
Anyway, truth is:
(The blue ship putting the helm to port is of course the Chinese fishing boat.)SECTION II: Nanjing 1937 (Illusion that American Journalists are Clever)
The only reasonable conclusion is that it is an illusion that American media elites are clever and smart.
As they are not clever and smart, they cannot see through China's lies.
They first of all stumble in understanding the Japanese-Sino War. They simply believed when China said that 300,000 civilians were killed by mad and bad Japanese soldiers in Nanjing in 1937 without any reasons.
(Check my past posting on Shanghai in 1930's.)
The truth is that 600,000 Chinese troops first coming down from the inland to drive out of Shanghai Europeans, Americans, Japanese, and Chinese insurgents invaded the international city but were contained, stopped, and pushed back by the Imperial troops dispatched urgently from Japan proper and Taiwan. In the subsequent battles over 300 km from Shanghai to Nanjing, the Chinese military lost 300,000 soldiers. Accordingly, Chinese leaders, politicians, and generals all lost face. Then, they started to claim that Japanese Imperial troops killed 300,000 civilians in Nanjing.
(An American young woman who travelled, a few years after the battle, from Shanghai to Nanjing observed countless simple burial mounds that continued without interruption along a railroad line linking the two cities. So many respectable fallen Chinese soldiers were buried over 300 km trails from Shanghai to Nanjing, whose total number is estimated to be 300,000. Chinese soldiers fought bravely but their leaders quickly fled and left Nanjing to disseminate the lies to the world: bad and mad Japanese Imperial troops killed 300,000 civilians in Nanjing without reasons, which is the biggest lie abusing and leveraging 6 million deaths of Judaiats in Europe so as to appeal to Americans.
There were no such troops in the world as would fight against 600,000 enemy soldiers to just kill 300,000 civilians for fun, if they had been 300,000 Nanjing residents.
American media elites should first lean history of East Asia from Japanese, since it is commonsense in China for rulers to change and modify history for their convenience in these 2000 years.)
They most recently stumble in understanding why China will not upvalue its currency yuan as Beijing claims that it will destabilize their economy and politics and millions of Chinese citizens losing jobs would revolt to damage the precious huge market of China. Indeed, in three years, the Japanese yen has been appreciated higher from 120 yen/dollar to 80 yen/dollar, but the Japanese domestic market and society are well in order.
American media elites should listen to Japanese more than Chinese, since there has been no freedom of speech in China but there is in Japan.
Now, will American media elites attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to be held in Norway?
SECTION III: Who Knows Truth of China?
Staff and elites of foreign companies operating in China know truth of China better than The New York Times staff. There are many export/import companies in China that were founded or financed by Japanese, American, EU, Taiwanese, and Korean businesses.
It is so since more than 50% of China's international trade has been carried out by those "Chinese" companies such foreign countries have established in China.
They would rather think that Chinese fishing boats are illegally operating and behaving violently against Japan Coast Guard ships within the sea territory of Japan around the Senkaku Islands than Chinese fishing boats are fairly operating and facing violently attacking Japan Coast Guard ships within the sea territory of China around the Senkaku Islands.
The Senkaku Islands have been under Japan's sovereignty since 1895; some Japanese lived and worked in the Islands till the start of WWII. The Islands are so close to other islands of Okinawa Prefecture. Indeed, Okinawa was once a tributary kingdom to the Ming and Ching Dynasties (as well as a Japanese clan in Japan proper) that never proclaimed their occupancy of the Islands in official documents, while Okinawa people were freely sailing and fishing around the Islands for hundreds of years.
The New York Times however assumes that the Senkaku Islands belong to China, since Tokyo is so far from the East China Sea while Shanghai is on the Sea. But, look at the map carefully, the Islands are 400 Km far from the Chinese Continent while it is within a 100 km range of the main Okinawa sea routes.
It is as if The New York Times were still believing that Judaists were being attacked in Germany today by remnants of Nazis, so that Germany today must not be trusted at all.

Once in India, a young man was searching for a woman who stole something from him.
He happened to meet the Buddha on his way asking around for her.
"The Holiest, didn't you see one woman around here, sir?" asked the young man.
"What will you do with her, if you find her?" asked the Buddha.
"I have to take my treasure back from her, sir" he said.
"Which is more important, find her or find yourself?" said the Buddha.
"It is more important to find myself, sir."
"If so, stay here. I will tell you truth of people, the world, and the universe."
Indeed, if a college or a university today does not teach students truth of people, the world, and the universe, what is it for you?
If so, you have to try to find yourself first; then a holy spirit might guide you to truth.
That is why followers of Christ Jesus hate any academic qualifications and degrees if given by the Vatican...

President Mr. Obama said in Korea that he is delivering hits if not home-runs.
Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners are expected to send the 4,000th hit in 2013 as a total of his records in Japan and the U.S.
At the time, Ichiro, the Japanese baseball hero, would be at bat 12,000 times in total. Accordingly, he would face total 50,000 pitches delivered by so many pitchers in Japanese leagues and MLB.
On every pitch of 50,000, Ichiro has to concentrate.
If you speak or write 50,000 words, you have to concentrate on each of 50,000.
Then you might become a blessed hero like Ichiro.
[Do not mind much about misspelling, though.])

Rev 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
