Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Abe vows greater
Japanese security role in Asia
There isn’t any
mountain that looks the same from all sides, even Mt. Fuji.
When someone tries
to explain a topic especially the one that is under dispute with others, the
explanation is often taken or interpreted very or somehow differently from its
intention.
Here is a good
example. From Japan’s point of view, the country which has been causing security
threats is China. So, any actions or moves to cope with the threats are for
security and defense, not aggression or offense, therefore they are pacifist
and justifiable.
However, from
China’s point of view, that looks nothing but accusation and aggression against
them and clear declaration of military expansion to the region that could
threat their side of security and territory.
Also, the same
explanation is viewed not as as-a-matter-of-factly as Japan thinks or hopes.
Enjoy reading the
below news article by a Western media about Japan’s prime minister’s address
and comparing it with the one made by a Chinese semi-state media.
