The Empire of Japan and its Rule (l'empire du Japon et de sa règle)
The traditional hierarchy in the Japanese society has the following structure:
#1..Emperor
#2..Imperial Family
#4..Top Level Conservative Leaders in Government, Politics, Business
#5..Elite Members in Various Sectors of Society
#6..Ordinary Citizens
#7..Non-Ordinary Citizens
#8..Koreans/Chinese, etc. Living in Japan
#9..Other Minor Foreigners Living in Japan
If you are rich Americans or Europeans, you can be regraded as belonging to the class No. 5.
However, the above structure is undergoing change since, especially, 2010.
SECTION I: Korean Lawmaker of Japan before WWII
I don't know how many Indians became regular members of the House of Commons in England before WWII.
Could any Indian who came to England from India under the British rule before WWII run for a British national election to be elected as a member of the House of Commons? Could any Chinese, Muslim, or African who came to England from each colony under the British rule before WWII run for a British national election to be elected as a member of the House of Commons?
But Koreans who came to Japan from the Korean Peninsula which had been annexed to the Empire of Japan in the early 20th century could run for a Japanese national election to be elected as a member of the Lower House.
Park Choon-Geum was born in 1891 in Korea. He came to Japan in 1906 to establish his business in the civil engineering sector. In 1932, he ran for the Lower House of the Imperial Parliament without using a Japanese name to win the election. He was also reelected. But, after WWII he went back to Korea only to face a bad luck. He then came back to Japan to be a leader of Korean residents in Japan, though he became a wanted man in South Korea as a traitor of Koreans as he had become so cooperative and familiar with the Empire of Japan.
Before WWII, any Koreans or Taiwanese who lived in Japan proper could run for a national election for the Imperial parliament.
Japanese rule in Korea and Taiwan was very different from the British rule of its colonies.
SECTION II: Seoul before/during Japanese Rule
It is commonsense for most of the Japanese people that Korea had been very poor and broken before the Japanese occupation, blindly following China and desperately facing Russia.
After the Empire of Japan annexed Korea, a huge amount of funds and various modern technologies were invested by the Empire of Japan into the Korean Peninsula to promote development of the Korean society. Unlike the U.K. that took more from India than what it gave, the Empire of Japan gave more than what it took from Korea.
Till recently or even today, for example, North and South Koreas have used factories and plants Japanese left in the Korean Peninsula after WWII. Old Koreans all know that bridges and buildings Japanese had designed and built in Korea before WWII never collapsed like those built by Koreans alone after WWII. The largest hydroelectric dam North Korea today uses was built by Japanese before WWII.

Christ Jesus said not to go to foreign countries and take foreigners' manner.
But after the resurrection, He ordered His disciples to preach in the world.
Indeed, if there had been two families in the beginning of history of mankind, there must be two nations now. (So, as there are about 200 countries in the world, there must have been 200 families in the beginning of history of mankind.)
The U.S. is unique in this context. It could split into several nations but it never. There cannot be European America (White America), African America (Black America), Hispanic America (Golden America), etc. It is religion that unites people in America. In this context, the U.S. is akin to Israel. America is a religious country. So, the point at issue is which is more respected God or money in the U.S.? It is a bad joke that people think America is religious and find that their religion is money. The last question might be: Is America anti-Christ?
You may go to America to be an American. But you cannot be somebody else at the same time. An American or somebody else. Only options are there.
The number of Japanese/South Korean students learning in the U.S.:
In 1999,
Japanese...46,872
South Koreans... 41,191
In 2009,
Japanese... 24,842
South Koreans...72,153
Talented Japanese students have wisely stopped going and studying in the U.S. even in this era of globalization. It is not anti-Christ at all.
Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
