John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

The Problem with Japan is the Problem of Japan
The impact of the horrific Japanese occupations of Korea (not only South Korea, but all of Korea) and China and the Phillipines is still being felt in those nations to the point that one could call it 'race memory' now...the smell of the many millions of burning bodies in Nanjing, Shanghai, and the North...damage on a greater scale than that of the Holocaust in Europe...yet, no reparations, no concept of regret or insight that means anything at all...just the continuation of the policy of 'never say sorry to 'the weak'' as national policy of Japan. This is a very foolish, arrogant, dangerous and incendiary policy now that Japan itself is 'weak'. This great debt will indeed be paid.
