China-Japan relations and the views of news organizagions
Recently, Anti-Japanese protest has peaked in China due to Japan's approval of high school history textbooks that contain significant revision and whitewash of its brutal actions towards China and Korea during WWII. At the same time Japan is trying to win a permanent seat on an expanded United Nations Security Council. China, being a member of the permanent United Nations Security Council, exercises veto against Japan's effort. Two news organizations; New York Times and Washington Post, Blogsforbush.com and Chamsarang.com, an anti-war community in Korea have slightly different approaches to the issue. First, I will briefly summarize the history that had led the tension between the three nations in order to give some insight on the origin of anti-Japan movement, then discuss the different approaches that media has on Japan's current action on the approval of inadequate textbooks, and China's objection and standpoint on Japan's effort to win the Security Council.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said that Japan would not be ready for a permanent seat on the U. In addition to the huge number of deaths, over the course of weeks following the fall of Nanjing, Japanese troops engaged in an orgy of rape, murder, theft, and arson. - This too, perhaps is what most people in China and Korea speak for. Japanese troops often forced families to commit acts of incest; sons were forced to rape their mothers, fathers were forced to rape daughters. As for China, its anti-Japanese movement is not a peaceful solution and China should be apologizing to Japan for its physical protest and the boycott on Japanese goods which will eventually hurt Japan's economy. Soldiers pillaged from not only the wealthy but the poor as well. This article has done a fair job in neutralizing the issue with accuracy.
