Merkel had a sense of shame that was rare for a German.

The following is from the latest book by Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, published on 12/31/2020.
It is a must-read for all Japanese citizens and people worldwide.
In particular, some make a living from the Asahi Shimbun, a foolish newspaper not found anywhere else in the developed world, and those who subscribe to it, who not only take pleasure in denigrating their country to the world but will go to any length to fabricate anything to achieve that goal.
In particular, scholars have been saying that we should learn from Germany.
People who make a living at Süddeutsche Zeitung continue to write anti-Japanese articles by taking advantage of anti-Japanese articles in the Asahi Shimbun and the Japan Times.
Those who subscribe to these newspapers and earn their living through TV stations that air John Rabe's fabricated story of the Nanking Massacre every year at the end of the year as a regular event,
As a result, about half of the German people hold anti-Japanese beliefs.
The book is a must-read for those in the U.S. who claim to be scholars, such as Alexis Dudden, a proxy for South Korea.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best book in the world.

Merkel had a sense of shame that was rare for a German.
Let's do it without the Italian next time, the German said to the Japanese.
It is used to mean that the last time we failed because we had an idiot in the room and that if it was just us, a group of competent people in awe of each other, we could make it work.
But this is not true at all.
Indeed, the Italians are incorrigible.
It is no wonder that they could get away with it in the middle of the Great War, but after the war, this country took wartime reparations from Japan, looking like an Allied country from long ago.
When I asked the Italians why they were greedy, they said, "Because we helped defeat fascism. "
Then, how many reparations did they take from Germany, the originator?
The answer is, "We did not."
In addition to the war of aggression, Germany committed "a crime unprecedented in history, the extermination of the Jewish race in its entirety" (former President Weizsaecker).
In fact, Italy also helped in the war, killing 8,000 Jews.
Roberto Bellini's film, whose title is "Life is Beautiful," is a reference to Trotsky's words.
The same is true of the Netherlands.
They were accomplices in the elimination of 100,000 people under Anne.
Therefore, it is difficult to demand reparations from Germany only for the war of aggression against the Jews and the Holocaust.
So, they tried to make a move to Japan.
Italy was as ugly as the Netherlands.
But still, it was far better than Germany.
Germany has hated "capable Japanese" for the same reason it hates "capable non-white Jews."
It has always been a source of annoyance that Japan took Qingdao, which it had taken in hand in World War I.
So, how do they beat Japan?
The suggestion was made by the United States and was modeled on their campaign to kill all Indians.
The Americans pitted the powerful Pequot against the Wampanoags, who had given the Puritans turkeys.
The Pequots, who had won, gave the Mohawks better weapons and had them crush them.
Let's use that same method to support Chiang Kai-shek and strengthen the Chinese to fight the Japanese.
So, Germany sent von Seeckt to China to give Chiang Kai-shek's army military training and the latest weapons to attack the Japanese concession in Shanghai.
It was the Battle of Shanghai.
The Japanese were surprised to see the Shina army wearing Nazi helmets, but since they were Shina people inside, they were able to defeat even ten times as many opponents.
When Chiang's troops were kicked to the curb, John Rabe of the German Siemens company came out and lied, saying that the Japanese had massacred the Japanese force in Nanking.
While engaging in such mischief, Germany courted Japan to conclude a German-Japanese anti-communist pact to keep the Soviet Union at bay in the Far East.
Japan signed the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact to avoid being taken in by the Germans.
Think of it as avenging Shanghai and Nanking.
Hitler was mad.
In Mein Kampf, he slanderously called the Japanese "imitators of culture," and when the British base in Singapore fell, he said in Goebbels' diary, "I want to send 20 German divisions to get rid of the yellow people."
I have not heard that the Germans have changed their Hitlerian racial attitudes after the war.
They are people who are not ashamed to say that even the extermination of the Jews, which was carried out by the entire nation, was done by the Nazis.
Brandt apologized in the Warsaw ghetto for the Nazi persecution of the Jews.
Still, like Weizsaecker, he did not apologize or compensate for the invasion of Poland, saying that the German people were also victims of the Nazis.
Merkel came from such a Germany.
Today, Germany resembles the Seeckt era of support for China.
She came to say," "But don't misunderstand me."
She knows shame, which is rare for a German.
She knew she could not speak highly of Japan about the last war.
But the Japanese who were waiting for her, especially Masataka Watanabe of the Asahi Shimbun, were devious.
The man gave Merkel a warm welcome and invited her to speak, in return for which he tried to get her to nod to Asahi's masochistic view of history.
He said, "Abe does not recognize the Nanking Massacre nor the 200,000 comfort women that your Rabe said. Please scold him for being a bad Abe."
In response, Merkel replied that Germany is where it is today" thanks to the generosity of our neighbor France."
She meant that it is bizarre that China betrayed Japan on the side of the white man and is now distorting history to slander Japan again. Watanabe's vile plan failed.
The same goes for Katsuya Okada of the DPJ.
He tried to get Merkel to discuss her criticism of Japan by using 30 minutes of the 40-minute press conference to discuss the historical issue.
After the press conference, he boasted," Merkel told us to resolve the comfort women issue correctly."
In response to this report, Merkel said, "I didn't say that."
Allowing foreign countries to criticize creates a political situation.
This includes not only Asahi but also the DPJ.
Incidentally, Okada's family, Aeon, has been selling dangerous food products from China under the pretense that they were produced in Japan, saying," "The producer is Aeon."
What's scary is that the son of a distinguished family and others have no qualms about lying.
