The Pacific War is a part of The Greater East Asia War. (The Pacific War + The Japan-China War = The Greater East Asia War) Communists of the world drove Japan into war. The Comintern played a particularly important role. Sorge and Hotsumi Ozaki who belonged to the Comintern were active in Japan.
In the United States, anti-Japan propaganda was intense before the WWII as well as the present. The wirepuller of the anti-Japan propaganda was the Chinese Communist Party and the American Communist Party and Comintern. The prewar consul general to New York; Kaname Wakasugi reported the actual situation of the anti-Japan propaganda to Japanese government by a secret telegram, but the report wasn't reflected to a Japanese Policy. (The then Japanese Government was penetrated by the Comintern)
Wakasugi warned the Japanese Government that Japan mustn't be instigated to Japan-U.S. estrangement espionage by the Comintern. However, the Japanese Prime Minister of Fumimaro Konoe who was controlled by the Comintern brought Japan close to the Pacific War.
Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China's ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island. Meanwhile, Chinese cyber warfare experts have launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new combat arena, but it's every bit as deadly as any that has gone before. Jack Ryan, Jr. and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild card that his father needs to stack the deck. There's just one problem: someone knows about the off-the-books intelligence agency and threatens to blow their cover sky high.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says other countries want Japan to adopt a more assertive leadership role in Asia to counter the growing power of China.
Mr Abe told the Wall Street Journal there were "concerns that China was trying to change the status quo by force, rather than by the rule of law". Relations between China and Japan have been strained over recent years. China said on Saturday that if Japan shot down Chinese drones, this would be considered ''an act of war'' by Beijing. The statement was referring to reports that Mr Abe had approved defence plans that envisaged using air force planes to shoot down unmanned Chinese aircraft in Japanese airspace. Another contentious issue between the two countries is the dispute over a group of islands. The islands, in the East China Sea, are controlled by Tokyo, but claimed by Beijing. But analysts say the nations' rivalry reflects the power shift created by China's meteoric economic and diplomatic rise while Japan has been mired in a two-decade economic slump. China has warned against Japanese nationalism in a region where Japan's colonial expansionism is still bitterly remembered.
'Act of war'
In the interview, Mr Abe said he had realised that ''Japan is expected to exert leadership not just on the economic front, but also in the field of security in the Asia-Pacific''. He promised policies to counter Japan's waning influence. Other countries wanted Japan to stand up to China, Mr Abe said without naming any.
''There are concerns that China is attempting to change the status quo by force, rather than by rule of law. But if China opts to take that path, then it won't be able to emerge peacefully,'' Mr Abe says.
As the BBC's Celia Hatton explains, the BBC team were pulled over by the police when they tried to film the aftermath of the crash
Chinese state media have said at least five people died and 38 others were injured after a vehicle crashed in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Three of those killed were inside the car and the other two were bystanders. The square was evacuated and quickly reopened after the vehicle went into the crowd in front of the Tiananmen rostrum at midday. Images posted online showed a vehicle in flames, amid barricades. There has been no explanation for the crash. Other pictures on social media showed a column of smoke rising from the scene of the crash. Three people inside the vehicle died, Beijing police said on its official microblog account, adding that one female tourist from the Philippines and a male tourist from Guangdong province had also died. Senior leaders from both the central government and the local authorities in Beijing and the Ministry of Public Security have visited the scene, it said. An investigation is under way and the injured have been taken to hospital, Beijing police said.
Tiananmen Square was the scene of the 1989 pro-democracy protests which were ended by a military crackdown. The site is generally kept under very tight security both because of its proximity to key political institutions and so that is does not serve as a hub for protesters and petitioners. Incidents do occur, nonetheless. In 2011, a man set himself on fire at Tiananmen Square following what officials said was a legal dispute, close to the square's portrait of Chairman Mao. Two years before that, three people set themselves on fire in a car at a busy intersection near Tiananmen Square over what the authorities called personal grievances.
China's leaders may have thought that by frequently dispatching ships and planes into Japan's territory around the tiny Senkaku Islands they would cause Tokyo to bow to their demands. Instead, their strategy of harassment and intimidation has accomplished the opposite--and then some.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has rallied Japanese to defend their territorial sovereignty, and he may succeed in reinterpreting the Japanese constitution to allow Japan to come to the military aid of its allies.
Japan has also strengthened its ties with Southeast Asia. Smaller regional powers have come to see Tokyo as a potential defender, along with the U.S., of the peace against a hegemonic Middle Kingdom.
--
The danger now is that the chances of accident, miscalculation or even a shooting incident grow with each Chinese foray near the islands. That's what makes Japan's demonstration of political resolve and military capability all the more important, but Japan cannot be left on its own. The U.S. took the Senkakus from Japan after World War II and returned them in the early 1970s, effectively settling the question of their sovereignty for American purposes. The more explicit the Obama Administration is that the Senkakus are Japanese, the likelier Beijing is to back down.

Korea is spreading groundless propagandas of comfort women of WWII as ''sex slaves''. How was the true life at that time of comfort women? According to the historical materials of U.S. forces, the real image of the comfort women was totally different from "the sex slave" whom Korea claimed.
United States Office of War Information (ONI), Psychological Warfare Team
PREFACE This report is based on the information obtained from the interrogation of twenty Korean ''comfort girls'' and two Japanese civilians captured around the tenth of August, 1944 in the mopping up operations after the fall of Myitkyin a in Burma
A ''comfort girl'' is nothing more than a prostitute or ''professional camp follower'' attached to the Japanese Army for the benefit of the soldiers.
LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS; They lived well because their food and material was not heavily rationed and they had plenty of money with which to purchase desired articles. They were able to buy cloth, shoes, cigarettes, and cosmetics to supplement the many gifts given to them by soldiers who had received ''comfort bags'' from home.
Offshore Control: A Proposed Strategy for an Unlikely Conflict by T.X. Hammes, Institute for national strategic studies, Strategic Forum June 2012 NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIVERSITY ttp://http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a577602.pdf
Any U.S. military strategy for Asia must achieve five objectives: 1. access for U.S. forces and allied commercial interests 2. assurance to Asian nations that the United States is both willing and able to remain engaged in Asia 3. deterrence of China from military action to resolve disputes 4. victory with minimal risk of nuclear escalation in the event of conflict 5. credibility in peacetime.
A Proposed Strategy The strategy of Offshore Control works with willing Asia-Pacific nations to ensure that the United States can interdict China's energy and raw material imports and industrial exports, while protecting our partners.
Five Key Assumptions. 1. China starts the conflict 2. There is a high probability that a conflict with China would be a long war 3. Any major conflict between the United States and China would result in massive damage to the global economy. 4. The United States does not understand China's nuclear decision process 5. In space or cyber domains, a first strike provides major advantages
North Korea is a failing state. Its government could collapse in the coming months or years, causing an immense humanitarian disaster and potentially other, even more serious consequences. This report assumes that the Republic of Korea (ROK) would decide to intervene in such a crisis with U.S. assistance and seek Korean unification. Nei-ther the ROK nor the United States is adequately prepared for such an intervention. Inadequately prepared, the ROK and the United States could suffer many serious consequences, including a failed or aborted intervention, a destabilization of the region, and possibly broader warfare.
--
The immediate past U.S. commander in Korea, GEN Walter Sharp, summarized the North Korean situation this way:
Combined with the country's disastrous centralized economy, dilapidated industrial sector, insufficient agricultural base, malnourished military and populace, and developing nuclear programs, the possibility of a sudden leadership change in the North could be destabilizing and unpredicable.
Such a sudden change could occur if the current North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, is assassinated, leaving no clear successor and the potential division of the senior North Korean leadership into factions that would likely wage civil war against each other. Such a government collapse would develop into a humanitarian disaster, one that would likely force ROK, U.S., and Chinese intervention to resolve the resulting threats both within the region and beyond.
Japan is surrounded by military threats therefore potent intelligence is indispensable for Japan.

Yasukuni Shrine is equivalent to Arlington National Cemetery - Kevin M Doak, Professor and Nippon Foundation Endowed Chair, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Georgetown University (Sankei Shimbun) 28 Dec 2013 ttp://http://sankei.jp.msn.com/life/news/131228/trd13122809350004-n1.htm
The war dead of the Boshin War (1868-1869, the Civil War for Japan) is enshrined in Yasukuni shrine. Therefore Yasukuni shrine is equivalent to American Arlington National Cemetery.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to only remember the Japanese war dead killed in action at home and abroad. Yasukuni shrine worship of the prime minister isn't justification of the war and doesn't mean militancy.
Prime Minister Abe performed the memorial service of the foreign war dead (include American, Chinese etc.) at ''Chin-Kon-Sya''. This shows will for the peace.

''There's nothing that can't be bought for the right price,'' Chen Reuters.
The FBI has arrested a Chinese national for allegedly setting fire to the Chinese consulate building in San Francisco, damaging the compound.
Yan Feng, 39, who lives in a suburb of the city, handed himself in to police on Friday, two days after the fire. He is said to be a permanent US resident with no criminal record. No-one was injured by the fire, but Chinese officials said the building was ''severely damaged'' and condemned it as a ''vicious, destructive act of arson''. Consular officials said an unidentified person had parked a van in front of the building then poured two cans of petrol on the main gate and set it ablaze. FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson refused to discuss a motive for the crime, but said the agency was not investigating the case as an act of terrorism. Mr Feng faces charges of property damages and arson. ''We're looking at it purely as a criminal matter,'' Mr Johnson said.
SAN FRANCISCO?The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), the San Francisco Police Department, and the Daly City Police Department have arrested without incident last Friday an individual suspected of damaging the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China office in San Francisco. According to a criminal complaint, Yan Feng, 39 of Daly City, California, detonated incendiary or explosive devices in the vicinity of the front entrance of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco on January 1.
Kenichiro Sasae is Japan's ambassador to the United States.
China has been conducting a global propaganda campaign against Japan, the most recent example of which was the Jan. 10 Post op-ed by Cui Tiankai, China's ambassador to the United States. But his op-ed was wrong, and China's leaders clearly misread global attitudes. It is not Japan that most of Asia and the international community worry about; it is China.
First of all, the Yasukuni Shrine, which was the focus of Beijing's most recent round of anti-Japan op-eds, is a place where the souls of those who sacrificed their lives for the country since the Meiji Restoration of 1868 have been enshrined. Japanese people visit the shrine to pray for the souls of the war dead - more than 2.4 million - not to glorify war or honor or justify a small number of Class A war criminals.
Last month, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the shrine and Chinreisha, a memorial for all war dead around the world, to make a pledge for everlasting peace based on his deep remorse for the past. Like many other Japanese people, he said he wished to visit the shrine in sincere remembrance of the suffering and sacrifice of Japan's soldiers and non-Japanese alike. He did not go to pay homage to Class A war criminals nor to hurt the feelings of the Chinese or Korean people.
It is important to note that China began raising this issue with political motives in 1985. At that time, more than 20 visits by prime ministers to Yasukuni had gone unchallenged, even after 14 Class A war criminals had been enshrined there in 1978.

Despite initial high expectations, the Indian Air Force appears to be souring on a joint development deal with Russia for a new fifth-generation fighter jet, according to the Business Standard, a major Indian business publication. The Russian prototype is ''unreliable, its radar inadequate, its stealth features badly engineered,'' said Indian Air Force Deputy Air Marshall S Sukumar at a Jan. 15 meeting, according to minutes obtained by the Business Standard.
That contrasts sharply with high hopes voiced by the Indian government when the joint project, to which the Indian government has contributed 6 billion dollars, began.
''[The new plane] will have advanced features such as stealth, supercruise, ultra-maneuvrability, highly integrated avionics suite, enhanced situational awareness, internal carriage of weapons and Network Centric Warfare capabilities,'' the Indian government said in a December 2010 press release. Those are all hallmarks of ''fifth generation'' aircraft.
The Indian Air Force did not respond to a request for comment.
But it is hardly surprising that the invisible-to-radar Russian fighter planes don't quite live up to the billing, according to defense experts reached by FoxNews.com.
The Outbreak of China-U.S. War (the title in Japanese), Threat Vector (Original title) [writer: Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney]
Volume One ttp://http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4102472533 Chinese People's Liberation Army started aggression of the South China Sea! The Chinese Communist Party has begun to use the land, the sea, the sky, space and cyberspace for war.
Volume Two ttp://http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4102472541 The Cyber strike force which Xi Jinping instructs is ''Unit 61398''. The People's Liberation Army invaded an air boundary of Taiwan and invaded the Philippine sea area. The crisis of the U.S.-China all-out war is looming.
Volume Three The People's Lieration Army blockaded the South China Sea. The Chinese Navy fired four anti-ship missiles and damaged an Indian aircraft carrier. The American President surrendered to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Volume Four The attack of Xi Jinping's ''Unit 61398'' destroyed the central of America and paralyzed the whole land of America. Will U.S.A. surrender to China? This book is like the last will and testament of Tom Clancy.
That is the assessment of a top U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, who told colleagues that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) is currently conducting training exercises in a practice scenario in which the military takes the Senkaku Islands, near Taiwan.
''We witnessed the massive amphibious and cross-military region enterprise,'' Capt. James Fannell, deputy chief of staff intelligence and information operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLEET) said at the West 2014 conference on Feb. 13 in San Diego.
''[We] concluded that the PLA has been given the new task to be able to conduct a short, sharp war to destroy Japanese forces in the East China Sea following with what can only be expected a seizure of the Senkakus or even a southern Ryukyu [islands] ? as some of their academics say.''
China has been training for a ''short, sharp war'' against Japan in the East China Sea, a senior US military officer has claimed, in comments that underline the growing military tensions in the western Pacific.
Ukrainian interim President Olexander Turchynov has warned Russia against any ''military aggression'' in Crimea. He said Russia's troops from Russia's Black Sea Fleet should not move outside their naval base in Sevastopol. The warning comes after armed men seized Crimea's regional parliament and the government headquarters of the Russian-majority region.
Russia has put 150,000 combat troops on high alert near its border with Ukraine. The Russian defence Ministry says it is taking measures to guarantee the safety of the Black Sea Fleet, which is based in Crimea. In Ukraine, a new government is due to be approved by parliament later as it seeks to address the tensions which are threatening the country.
A Russian intelligence agency (SVR, FSB, ex-KGB) which Putin commands takes over Ukraine secretly, and Putin instigates Russian Ukrainian to segregation of Ukraine. President Obama and EU and the U.K. which are pro-communism leave Ukraine in a lurch. Jack Ryan and The Campus who are the hero in the novel of Tom Clancy save Ukraine, but there isn't the hero in real world.
We overdo the talk of turning points and milestones in covering summits, but, when it comes to the G7 at The Hague, it's very hard to see it in any other terms.
Events in Ukraine have profoundly changed Western perceptions towards Russia and it's very hard to envisage any rapid return to business as usual. Arriving in the Netherlands for this summit, President Barack Obama said the US and Europe were united in imposing sanctions that would bring ''significant consequences to the Russian economy''. Michael McFaul, the former US ambassador in Moscow, wrote on Monday morning that President Putin ''embraces confrontation with the West... [and] has made a strategic pivot''. Carl Bildt, Sweden's foreign minister, added on Twitter that Mr McFaul's gloomy prognosis was understating the problem since the Russian president was ''building on deeply conservative orthodox ideas''. When the people responsible for good East-West relations are saying this, you know that this is no flash in the pan.
So is this Cold War Two or a lesser realignment in world politics?
Much depends on Russian actions during the coming days: an invasion of eastern Ukraine would likely trigger a full-scale trade war, but consolidation of the hold on Crimea, with continued covert support to militant Russian groups in Donetsk or Kharkiv, would pose a trickier dilemma to Western policymakers.
(omission)
But many uncertainties remain, including, at the most dramatic level, whether further Russian military action might lead to large-scale sanctions, US troop cuts in Europe being reversed, and a new diplomatic ice age.
(Reuters) - The United States is scrapping plans for a Navy ship to join a fleet review in China after key ally, Japan, was not invited, U.S. officials said on Thursday, in a move that came just ahead of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's trip to Japan and China.
The United States had been invited to participate in the fleet review - essentially a parade of ships - as part of activities linked to the Western Pacific Naval Symposium, which is being held this month in Qingdao, an eastern port city.
The United States will still participate in the naval symposium and will observe the review, one official said.
''We're not going to put a ship in the actual parade. We'll observe the parade, ''the U.S. official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding the decision was taken last week and came after a request by ally Japan.
Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told a news conference on Friday that Japan would take part in the regularly held naval symposium but confirmed that it had not been invited to the fleet review.
Independent senator Nick Xenophon is calling for an urgent inquiry into the Chinese hacking of Parliament's computer networks, saying the intelligence breach that lasted up to one year was a national security scandal.
The Chinese intelligence agencies that penetrated Australia's parliamentary computer network in 2011 may have been inside the system for up to a year and had access to documents and emails that reveal the political, professional and social links across the political world, according to seven sources with knowledge of the breach.
The West and Russia have sailed into uncharted waters. Crimea has de facto declared independence from Kiev. Russia has intervened to effectively secure the new entity without, so far, a shot being fired. The Ukrainian police, security, and military forces on the peninsula have been neutralized, many of them pledging allegiance to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. In Kiev, the new government talks about Russia's aggression and orders mobilization -- even as it loses control over some of the key cities in the country's east and south. Meanwhile, the West has responded with suspension of preparations for the G-8 summit in Sochi. The U.S. president has talked about Russia paying a high price for its actions, and the U.S. secretary of state has laid out a menu of possible sanctions and other measures.
A former Polish war refugee who met Prince Charles in Canada has said he likened some Nazi actions in Europe to those of Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Marienne Ferguson was speaking after meeting Prince Charles at a Nova Scotia immigration museum where she works. As they discussed Hitler's takeover of countries, the prince ''said something to the effect of 'it's not unlike... what Putin is doing,'' she recalled.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has signed multi-billion dollar, 30-year gas deal with China.

There is a saying that great men make history and history makes great men. Ronald Reagan was the living example of this when, on September 1, 1983, the Soviet Union, without warning, shot down a civilian Korean airliner flying from New York to Seoul, killing all 269 men, women and children on board. Reagan was on vacation at his ranch in California. He cut his vacation short and headed back to Washington the next day.
This is Barack Obama's chance to make history. Will he seize the moment and reverse course? If so, he will restore defense spending. He will take back all those pink slips he?fs just sent to members of the military. He will reinstate the defense missile shield for Poland and the Czech Republic. He will rally our European allies to stand up to Putin. And he will accelerate American energy independence efforts, so that we and our European allies are no longer subject to Russian energy blackmail.

Communists ruled Japan in 1945 - 1952. E.H. Norman (Canadian diplomat, GHQ counter intelligence officer) was a communsit. The Constitution of Japan was made by communists of GHQ which ruled Japan 1945 - 1952.
The Constitution of Japan has been affected by the Marxism, and if this constitution has been left untouched, democracy of the world and Japan will be damaged.
U.K. and U.S.A. that is Churchill and Roosevelt were supporting communism. Therefore the U.K. and the United States supported that communist state Russia invaded Japan. Because the hub of Japan was taken over by a communist, Japan wasn't able to use espionage for national defense definitely. After World War II, Japan continued being ruled unfairly by the allied powers of the communism and was polluted. The sneaked Britain and United States of America continued insulting Japan.
Japan continued fighting in loneliness for justice.
The U.K. and the United States were supporting communism and attacked Japan in support of Russia of the communist state, and they used nuclear bombs against Japan.
The Emperor of Japan continued lonely fighting against communism. The Japanese Emperor saved Japan in half a century and left the world. Japan is a model of the anti-communism now in the current world.
Japan is a symbol of the justice of the modern international community.
The root of Japanese justice is the Emperor of Japan.

- Dealing with America's China Problem in Asia ? Targeting China's Vulnerabilities, By Robert Sutter Jul 21, 2014, a professor at George Washington University
The options include the following:
1. Remind China of its serious anti-submarine limitations. Chinese military planners and Chinese leaders will be confused.
2. Allowing the sale of the 66 F-16 fighter jet to Taiwan
3. Adopting a higher profile in support for free expression in Hong Kong.
4. Official US denouncement should focus more on continued Chinese support for North Korea.
5. The US response could involve conventionally armed multi-warhead US ballistic missiles deployed in the United States or in the region in attack and ballistic missile submarines. Because of China's weak ballistic missile defense capabilities, Beijing would face an enormous cost in dealing with the new risk to its leadership and strategic structure posed by these US warheads.
John Anthony Walker, Jr. (July 28, 1937 ? August 28, 2014) was a United States Navy Chief Warrant Officer and communications specialist convicted of spying for the Soviet Union from 1968 to 1985.
When Walker began spying, he worked as a key supervisor in the communications center for the U.S. Atlantic Fleet's submarine force, and he would have had knowledge of top secret technologies, such as the SOSUS underwater surveillance system which tracks submarine traffic via a network of submerged hydrophones. It was through Walker that the Soviets became aware that the U.S. Navy was able to track the location of Soviet submarines by the cavitation produced by their propellers. After this, the propellers on the Soviet submarines were improved to reduce cavitation.
The Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal was disclosed in this activity in 1987. It is also alleged that Walker's actions precipitated the seizure of the USS Pueblo. CIA historian H. Keith Melton states on the show ''Top Secrets of the CIA'' which aired on the Military Channel, among other occasions, at 0400CST, February 5, 2013:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has an unspecified medical problem, state media report, after he failed to appear at a key political event. A report on state television said on Thursday that Mr Kim, 31, was in an "uncomfortable physical condition" but gave no details. Earlier, the leader was absent from a session of the Supreme People's Assembly - North Korea's legislature.Mr Kim has not been seen in public for more than three weeks. His non-appearance at the SPA - to which he was elected in March with 100% of the vote - on Thursday prompted renewed speculation about the leader's whereabouts. The report on state-run Central Television later in the day showed footage of the leader limping during one of his regular inspection tours back in July.
Overweight
Previous appearances, the usual diet of factory and military unit inspections, show a clearly overweight Mr Kim walking with a limp and wearing generously cut trousers, possibly to disguise his walking difficulties. South Korean newspaper Joongang Daily supports the leg injury theory, and suggests that his disappearance may be due to an injury picked up during some sort of sporting activity.
An anonymous source - said to be "familiar with North Korea affairs" - quoted by the South Korean news agency Yonhap, said he understood Mr Kim was "suffering from gout, along with hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure".
The agency said some people attribute the deterioration in Mr Kim's health to frequent drinking and overeating.
But its source said gout runs in Mr Kim's family, with his grandfather Kim II-sung, his father Kim Jong-il and his elder brother Kim Jong-nam all suffering from the disease.
At an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Sunday, Mr Gorbachev said the West had ''succumbed to triumphalism''.
He expressed alarm about recent Middle Eastern and European conflicts.
Tensions have been raised between the West and Russia over Ukraine, which was part of the Soviet Union.
More than 4,000 people have died in fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists, who seized control in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in April.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place since September, but elections in rebel-held elections last weekend have prompted fears of a return to full-scale conflict.
The founder and primary theorist of Marxism, the nineteenth-century German thinker Karl Marx, had an ambivalent and complex attitude to religion, viewing it primarily as ''the opium of the people'' that had been used by the ruling classes to give the working classes false hope for millennia, while at the same time recognizing it as a form of protest by the working classes against their poor economic conditions.
In the Marxist-Leninist interpretation of Marxist theory, developed primarily by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, religion is seen as retarding human development, and socialist states that follow a Marxist-Leninist variant are inherently atheistic. Due to this, a number of Marxist-Leninst governments in the twentieth century, such as the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, implemented rules introducing state atheism. However, several religious communist groups exist, and Christian communism was important in the early development of communism.
A coalition of security researchers has identified a Chinese cyberespionage group that appears to be the most sophisticated of any publicly known Chinese hacker unit and targets not only U.S. and Western government agencies but also dissidents inside and outside China.
News of the state-sponsored hacker group dubbed Axiom comes a week before Secretary of State John F. Kerry and two weeks before President Obama are due to arrive in Beijing for a series of high-level talks, including on the issue of cybersecurity.
In a report to be issued Tuesday, the researchers said Axiom is going after intelligence benefiting Chinese domestic and international policies ? an across-the-waterfront approach that combines commercial cyberespionage, foreign intelligence and counterintelligence with the monitoring of dissidents.
Axiom's work, the FBI said in an industry alert this month, is more sophisticated than that of Unit 61398, a People's Liberation Army hacker unit that was highlighted in a report last year. Five of the unit's members were indicted this year by a U.S. grand jury. The researchers concur with the FBI's conclusion, noting that, unlike Unit 61398, Axiom is focused on spying on dissidents as well as on industrial espionage and theft of intellectual property.

Today, Texas has a population of about 26 million. Imagine trying to kidnap 200,000 Texas women. There would be a bloodbath. The Army would lose thousands of soldiers, and thousands of civilians no doubt would have been slaughtered in return.

Stories'' This is amazing: Japan?'s biggest-circulation daily newspaper apologized today for using the term ?''sex slaves?'' in stories about Asian women trafficked to Japanese military brothels before and during World War II. The Yomiuri newspaper said it had found the term and other ?''misleading?'' expressions implying the women had been forced to provide sexual services in 97 articles in its English-language edition between 1992 and 2013. The paper said it would add notes to each of the stories in its database to explain that they were ?''inappropriate.''
It's all a lie, and no matter how much someone hates Japan, it will always be a lie. Please read the IWG report that practically nobody seems to know exists. If you do not have time for the whole report, do a search inside the report for Comfort Women, and carefully read those parts:
Chiang Kai-shek who fled in the face of the enemy had a full responsibility of Nanjing Incident. Former Tokyo Branch Chief of the U.S. newspaper New York Times, Henry Scott Stokes 2014.12.28 (Sankei Shimbun) ttp://http://www.sankei.com/world/news/141228/wor1412280009-n1.html
Stokes, 75, is a former correspondent and Tokyo bureau chief for the New York Times, Financial Times and Times of London.
Why isn't ''Nanjing Massacre'' a fact? In an interview last month, Stokes had said ''ghastly events'' had occurred at Nanking, but that the Japanese were not alone responsible.
Henry Scott Stokes ttp://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Scott_Stokes He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. After graduating, he moved to Japan, where he became a journalist of the Tokyo bureau of The Times. Also around this time, he became close friends with famous Japanese author Yukio Mishima.
Best-Selling Author Feels the Heat in Japan's History Wars, May 11, 2014, TIME ttp://http://time.com/95416/henry-scott-stokes-japan-history-book/ ''The author's opinion is: The so-called 'Nanking Massacre' never took place. The word 'Massacre' is not right to indicate what happened,'' the statement said.
Some North Korean soldiers escaped from their own country, then they burglarized and killed four Chinese habitants. The North Korean soldiers were shot by Chinese constabulary and suffered serious wounds.
The North Korean soldiers broke into Chinese dwellings and shot a man and wife dead, furthermore, soldiers beat some dwellers to death with handguns and robbed them of food and money.
Papers and experts discuss Beijing-Pyongyang ties following reports that a North Korean soldier killed four people in a Chinese border town.
The soldier crossed the border in late December, stealing money and food before killing residents in Helong. According to papers, he was later arrested north of the Tumen River that divides China and North Korea. The Chinese foreign ministry gave no details about the incident, but said it has lodged a protest with North Korea. Most papers in China have carried the news, quoting South Korea's Yonhap News Agency and state-run Xinhua, while appearing to refrain from making any comments about the incident.
We want to discuss about ''war responsibility of the communism''.
''The war responsibility of the communism'' diverges into many branches, but there are three main aspects in the relation with Japan.
1. The Russian aim was to make Japan the communist country, and therefore Russia derived Japan to the Pacific War.
2. Russia let Japan invade and attack to Southeast Asia by Sorge spy ring, and Russia succeeded in the Japan forces weren't able to fight against the Soviet Union, and, in addition, Russia guiding Japan to the war with U.S. and Britain in this way.
3. In Japan-China War, the Mao Zedong let Chinese Nationalist Party (later Taiwan) fight against Japan and exhausted both. That is why the Japan-China War prevented the northing (war with the Soviet Union) of the Japanese military and was meeting a purpose to support the Chinese Communist Party.
The Sankei Shimbun features ''war responsibility of the communism''. The Sankei Shimbun proves that historical view based on The International Military Tribunal for the Far East is a falsehood. We must discuss ''war responsibility of the communism''.
Henry Scott Stokes ttp://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Scott_Stokes a British journalist who has been the Tokyo bureau chief for The Financial Times (1964?67), The Times (1967-1970s) and The New York Times (1978?83).
When I came to Japan for the first time, I thought that the Tokyo trial was right. In addition, I thought Nanjing Massacre to be a fact. However, I understood that Tokyo trial was only revenge of allied powers while I was staying in Japan for a long time. And I understood that there wasn't Nanjing Massacre.
Correspondent Tokyo of Europe and America are inexperienced and don't understand Tokyo trial and Nanjing case well. Though The Rape of Nanking which it wrote of Iris Chang is fiction, even American elites are falling for the fiction with a historical fact. They considered me to be a historical revisionist and denied me.
I want you to know the truth of the history without being deceived in anti-Japan national propaganda. I want Japan to regain a pride.
The people doing a claim same as me are increasing: American writer Michael Yon, Lawer Kent Gilbert
I want Correspondent Tokyo to understand the above.
It is a fiction that comfort women were collected forcibly by the Japanese military. Comfort women were mere prostitutes.
