Korea is different from China

Some of the riots in China to protest againt Japan 1) making a bid for a permanent seat for the UNSC, and 2) allegedly distorting some of the descriptions in the textbooks adopted in Japanese schools have been reported in the world, but some of the mass medias fairly pointed out that that was a fake. Most of Japanese were relieved to see the news. I hope China would understand cheating and unfair propaganda would make China look a second-rate country.

Korea has also been protesting against Japan for the same reasons, but this country is different from China, you should notice. Korea has been struggling to change. Some of the professors in Korean universities are beginning to admit that Japan was not quite evil in invading Korea. That is, they are beginning to know how the war looked not only to Korea but also Japan. A war is not so simple as to be attributed to one single cause. Japanese invasion over Korea was also caused by complicated circumstances.

To many of Japanese, English looks an idol as well as a most useful tool to survive in the world with. The biggest problem is they think English is simpler than Japanese. After studying it, English begins to be seen more complicated, which is caused by some decisive differences between English and Japanese. I'm planning to write a book on them.
