why waste time doing this,
regardless what we do, it is not necessary because CHINA is perm seat member and have the ultimate power to veto Japan out - regardless how many nations support Jap's intention or how many people worldwide wishes that to be....
so my advise to Japan is - recognize historical fact, fully apologize to CHINA and other East, SE Asia and Pacific neighbours for WW2 crimes and CHINA will forgive u .....
then no problem to get perm seat and everyone is happy cause Jap indeed could contribute a lot to world as perm seat member -
japan still have a very strong sense of imperialism. they will never apologise.

currently, e japs already got 3 veto n russia is likely to veto in favour as well. although china is a perm member n has a rite to veo against it. but untill now in history of un, no perm member has really vote against anything b4, so even china himself is not really confident if it can block japs entry. i jus sign my name on e link above to petition against it. frankly speaking, there is indeed no much we can do, cos its all too late. but should i care about this? i jus do wat i can wat i tink i should do.

Japan has the right to apply for a UN permanent seat- definately. But as for boycotting japanese goods, not eating japanese food etc- it's just stupid.
I do acknowledge however that Japan have not really satisfied Asia with its attempts in healing the wounds from WWII, although honestly, with each passing year, the younger generations outside China & SK will not feel much more animosity against the Japanese.
Japan will be a UN SC permanent member- it's just a matter of time. As for its past mistakes, it's time for all 3 (SK, Japan and China) to forgive and let matters rest. The time for mutual animosity has to end- nothing will change the fact they will be neighbours as long as Mother Earth exists.
They will need to find a way to co-exist- whether they like it or not. I feel sorry for the chinese youth and nationalists and also their counterparts in Japan and South Korea but really, it's time to move on. We cannot keep harping on issues that existed 60 years ago.
Yes the war was terrible- but it's time to move on and get on with our lives. We cannot continue to linger on in the past. -
Precisely.We need to move on.Yes, if they will not keep it in their textbooks, the duty just falls on us.But we should not paralyse ourselves.Forgive but remember, yet also know that with the passing of each generation, is a chance to start afresh again.Originally posted by timothytsgsg:Japan has the right to apply for a UN permanent seat- definately.

Yep. Just remember the bitter memories but always find the need to move on.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Precisely.We need to move on.Yes, if they will not keep it in their textbooks, the duty just falls on us.But we should not paralyse ourselves.Forgive but remember, yet also know that with the passing of each generation, is a chance to start afresh again.

Whether Japan wants to apologise to China and Korea or not, it depends entirely whether they can swallow their pride.
But recognising the history and the atrocities they committed during WW2 cannot be denied. The correct history should remind the younger generation of Japanese of what were done during the WW2 that resulted in the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagashaki, and never to do it again.
Singapore was only occupied for 2 and a half years and only over 50,000 killed, it is easy to say life goes on. It is difficult to find any family here whose parents or relatives killed during WW2, and if we do, it will be easy to tell your friends that YOUR parents were killed by the Japanese to liberate us from the rule of British Imperialism, according to Japanese new text book. But millions of Chinese died during the 8 years of war with Japan and millions of Koreans killed during the 35 years of Japanese occupation, the older generation are reminded of the sufferings and the younger generation of both Chinese and Koreans are angry at knowing the truth. It is difficult to say life goes on.
Afterall, singaporeans are all "educated" to accept whatever happen outside singapore, we are numb and leave it to the government even if the events affect us adversely. This event involved Japan, Korea and China, too far away, we go there only if we want to do business!!
Unlike Japan, the German came face to face with their mistakes, apologied to their neighbours . Because of their apologies and recognition of their mistakes, they are well accepted by their neighbors whom they occupied and whose citizens killed by them in millions, in EU and in the international community as well. isn't there something the Jap should learn??
I am not sure what they can contribute when they get their perm seat in the UN, but if Japan do not feel remorse about the crimes they committed in the international society and expect the world to just forget it with time passing, Japan do not have the moral credibility in the international community. -
