To all Chinese everywhere, watch the Youtube below and then boycott all Japanese products until this mad mayor of Nagoya Takashi Kawamura apologises! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6z-fZwpmME&feature=related
Nagoya mayor denies Rape of Nanjing took place in front of Nanjing official
Mayor of Nagoya, Takashi Kawamura. The mayor of Nagoya Takashi Kawamura recently denied that the Rape of Nanking ever took place in front of Liu Zhiwei, a member of the Nanjing Communist Party Committee.
Receiving Liu for a visit to Nagoya on Feburary 20th, Kawamura claimed that the wartime atrocities of Japanese troops against Nanjing civilians didn''t occur, with only a battle between Chinese Nationalist and Japanese forces between the city was taken.
Liu reportedly said nothing to refute Kawamura''s claims during a ceremony in which they exchanged gifts and shook hands.
The 63-year-old mayor''s opinion was reportedly influenced by observations his father Kaneo Kawamura made during his visit to the city in 1945, where he was warmly received by the locals of Nanjing, formerly known as Nanking before Wade-Giles pinyin standardization refashioned the city as Nanjing in more recent years.
"Why were people in Nanjing kind to Japanese soldiers only eight years after the incident? I could go to Nanjing and attend a debate on the history of the city, if necessary," Kawamura said.
"There were regular combative activities, but I believe the Nanjing (Massacre) never happened," he said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei expressed that China "does not accept Nagoya Mayor Takashi Kawamura''s denial of the crime of the Nanjing Massacre" at a news conference on Monday.
Hong declared that irrefutable evidence exists regarding the Rape of Nanking, and urged Japan to see "history as a mirror".
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Nagoya, Japan''s third largest incorporated city, also expressed wishes that the relations would stay friendly between Nanjing and Nagoya, which became sister cities in 1978.
The flub by Kawamura shouldn''t come as a surprise, given the culture of denial prevalent in Japan regarding the Nanjing atrocities which claimed an estimated 300,000 lives. Films like "The Truth About Nanjing" and Japanesetextbooks which downplay the incident are seen as indicative of the long way Japan has to go before coming to terms with the events which took place in December of 1937. |

Please include the following information in your newsletter. 四十年前中国大门初开,什么最吸引西方人的眼球?
1971年夏,《纽约时报》著名记者赖斯顿访华期间患上了急性阑尾炎,在北京“反帝医院”(即协和医院)接受了手术和针灸治疗。住院期间,他于病榻上写了篇短文,在《纽约时报》头版刊登,一不小心引发了美国针灸热。1973年秋,拉斯维加斯的律师斯坦勃认定针灸对美国是个好东西,以一己之力全力推动中医合法化提案。法案意外引发中医和西医在美国的首次“龙蛇大战”。1974年冬,美国媒体对针灸的报道达到了高潮。中国网络电视台在纪念尼克松访华四十年之际,制作了对《美国针灸热传奇》作者李永明博士专题访谈的节目,相关网页和视频请见下面网址。 http://jiankang.cntv.cn/program/zydjt/zydjt02/index.shtml
