Topic Reading-Vol.793-6/13/2014

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.
