Enemies of Japan Oppose Religious Freedom

Recently the President of the Republic of Korea and the communist bandit government of the People's Republic of China issued protests against Japanese people, including a few politicians, praying at the Yasukuni Shrine to mark the end of World War II and remember those who lost their lives in the conflict. Yes, again. The President of South Korea called on Japan (again) to "face up" to history. Again, I would ask, how is Japan expected to demonstrate this? I would really like to know. Japan has already apologized numerous times to Korea and China, Japan has already paid billions in reparations to these countries. Treaties and agreements have been signed and none of it seems to have worked. So, what exactly is that these countries want Japan to do? Apologize? Again? That hasn't worked. Pay more money? Why? That hasn't worked. These governments get upset every time anyone visits Yasukuni Shrine so the only thing that I can think of that must be the answer is that they expect the Japanese government to just shut down Yasukuni Shrine altogether or forbid any Japanese people from going there. In other words, what the Red Chinese and Korean republican governments really have a problem with is freedom of religion.

Communist China, we know, does not believe in religious freedom and never has but I am sure the South Korean government at least would dispute that. However, what else is left? I ask the question again; what is that they want Japan to do in order for them to finally put the past behind them and move forward? It seems that nothing will satisfy them except the total surrender of all independence and sovereignty on the part of Japan. Think I am being extreme? Well, what else is left? What do these governments always complain about these days? They complain about territorial disputes, the Yasukuni Shrine and Japanese textbooks. So, in effect, what they are saying is that these foreign governments want to be able to dictate to Japan on what territory is Japanese and what is not, where Japanese people can worship and where they cannot and what Japanese can teach their children and what they cannot. How is that anything less than a complete dissolution of Japanese sovereignty and independence? How does that not reduce Japan to not being a free country at all? It is time for Japan to say that enough is enough. Even from the highest level, His Majesty the Emperor himself, has said that he would apologize to South Korea if that would make them happy and restore friendly relations. Seoul said nothing in response because they know it will not. Apologies have gotten Japan nowhere, paying and paying and paying have gotten Japan nowhere. All that is left is the total sell-out of independence and Japan has to draw a line and stand firm.
