Europe and Asia...If I were to pick a country that I look like...

 (Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Yoon Dong-young said, "Many U.S. journalists and congressional aides are holding their breath and cursing, but no one wants to speak publicly, but I should."" Dennis Halpin, an expert in Asia at the House International Relations Committee, drew attention after he harshly criticized Japan's history and its "insensitivity" to victims at a symposium hosted by the Korea-U.S. Institute at the House of Representatives Rayburn Building on the 19th (local time). As Halpin said, it is hard to hear public criticism from the U.S. administration and Congress as well as from private research institutes about Japan, the world's second-largest economy and the mainstay of the U.S. strategy in Asia. At a recent House hearing on the history dispute between Korea, Japan, China and Japan, a lawmaker from South Carolina expressed his sincere gratitude for Japanese companies' investment in their hometowns and earnestly requested more investment. "Some people in Washington want Japan to become the United Kingdom of Asia and become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council and a partner in the U.S. strategy for Asia and world peace," Halpin said, criticizing Japan and its government. "There will be little room for Washington to help Japan achieve its diplomatic goals unless there is a great expression of regret, such as Germany's Billy Brandt kneeling at the Polish Nazi victims' memorial tower in 1971, and Japan must help itself first," he said. Regarding Japan's anniversary of Hirohito, he prepared, saying, "How can Germany think of making Emperor Wilhelm's anniversary?" and argued, "At least the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and U.S. consulates across Japan should open on this day and do daily work." Regarding Japan's claim to end war liability compensation, he countered, "There is no international law or peace treaty that prevents it from apologizing," and pointed out, "If Yasukuni shrine becomes like Arlington National Cemetery, war criminals must be removed." In particular, Halpin reminded the U.S. administration, "We welcome the revision or repeal of Japan's 9th Peace Constitution, but many in Asia fear it will be the first step for Japan to re-enter the path of militarism." The U.S. government, which has put human trafficking at the top of its foreign policy over the past decade, should pay attention to the resolution of the issue, the biggest example of female trafficking in government organizations in the 20th century, he said. He also pointed out, "The Japanese people's concerns about their citizens kidnapped by North Korea, including a young girl, are of course right," and introduced the story of Lee Ok-sun, a grandmother from Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, saying, "But the kidnapping of a young girl who has become a grandmother should be the same." Halpin also talked about Lee Mi-han (17), a second-generation Korean-American who received praise from U.S. President George W. Bush for his essay criticizing the Japanese oppression of Hangeul and reminding the importance of freedom. Halpin's harsh criticism against Japan seems to have been influenced by his 87-year-old father and his brothers who fought or survived the Pacific War against Japan, and his experience staying in Korea for 11 years and 4 years in China due to diplomats. ydy@yna.co.kr Japan = The navy traditionally has a larger proportion than the army because it has lived for a long time without worrying about invading the mainland on British land.
