China Arrests Right-Wing Japanese Politician

[Ray]

If Abe is really banking on this case to earn right-wingers sympathy in Japan, his PR advisor should be fired. The guy wasn't arrested for anything directly political - he had 3 kilos of controlled substances on him...

Yes, from the Chinese point of view, it is dangerous and so I can sympathise with your desire that the PR advisers should be shown the door.

But then, there is always a militarist and nationalistic streak below the smiling veneer of the Japanese, like it or not.

Highly competitive race!

And they can do anything for their National aspirations.

Imagine a nation of few islands and no natural resources to speak about nearly brought the British and other Empires to their knees.

It was only the Atom Bomb that could quieten them or else they would have gone on and on! They showed a greater 'staying' than even the redoubtable Germans!

I don't take them lightly.

Great chaps, they don't even use oil or spices. They eat raw and I believe that is very healthy!
