Action speaks louder than words.

> You don't go and give your money to the country and people you despise.

> They come here, they spend their time and money here. We trade with them.

> Nah, you can miss me with this. Not believing this article

Lots of people hate china but patronize its products happily. Aren't you one of them?

Thats what the Chinese government want. I used to live in China, anyone watching the state run TV (everyone) is taught to dislike Japan at every given opportunity.

Does that mean south Korea will lift its ban on japanese seafood soon?

> The two aren’t mutually exclusive. South Koreas can favorably view Japanese and still have concerns about radioactive water discharges from Fukushima.

So south Koreans view Japan favorably despite the country's ban on japanese seafood, ok.

South Korea has not removed or even changed its ban on Japanese seafood.

A recent annual poll by the East Asia Institute, an independent think tank, showed that a record high percentage of South Koreans currently have a good impression of Japan.

Radioactive water discharge from fukushima will ramain a big issue for a long time. South Korea has not removed or even changed its ban on Japanese seafood. In the US, despite rising consumer demand for seafood, imports from Japan have dropped significantly

Posted in: Possessing Harry Potter’s Sword of Godric Gryffindor is now illegal in Japan See in context

It’s possible that Warner Bros Studio Tour Tokyo didn’t bother to check the Sword of Godric Gryffindor against the Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law standards, figuring that because it’s sold attached to a wooden backing, it would be treated as a piece of hanging wall art.

Yeah so no need for a sharp point

ITIA found to be plausible explanations. He blamed it on a cream his trainer used before giving Sinner a massage and so was cleared completely —

It's impossible the trainer wasn't checking the ingredients of everything they use that could be a source of contamination.

I hate to see police go through this. Hate them or love them this bloke as been exposed to the worst of society. Most common is idiots drunk/drugged driving killing children on the roads. Imagine arresting some idiot who was behind the wheel nodding off at the wheel and when he get to the police vehicle he turn it on and refusing yelling I have done nothing wrong. You being the arresting office has seen the worst 30 years on the force having to be the one turning up to tell the family bad news. So you try choking out the drugged out offender but he dies. The police office was charge with murder and serving 20 plus year in prison. No way he should have got murder. He should have got 3 years max for manslaughter if he had decent legal. If you take in the roll the police are expose to daily has on their control decision making yes sometime they make mistake. Is should be taken into consideration when sentencing. The dead drugged out offender name was Floyd I think.

Should have tasered him

Posted in: Amazon Japan suspected of forcing retailers to cut product prices See in context

Amazon Japan G.K. is alleged to have violated the antimonopoly law by forcing retailers to reduce prices in return for displaying their products in the most visible positions for users of its platform, with the involvement of its U.S. headquarters also suspected.

What do they say to sellers?

"If your products are offered at the lowest price in the market, it will be displayed prominently on the platform. If not we will not display it prominently." ?

Posted in: Ishiba criticized in Japan for 'bad manners' at APEC summit See in context

Anyway, from " the spectator"

The reason he has failed so often (this was his fifth tilt at the top job) is ascribed to his willingness to criticize his colleagues and go his own way. Described as a “plain spoken populist” by TIME magazine and ‘blunt” and “arrogant and condescending to his fellow lawmakers”

Doesn't look like those who approached him followed protocols also . this whole encounter could have been more pleasant for everyone if maybe ishiba was approached first by an aide that speaks Japanese well and later facilitated communication.

You obviously don't know but it's not appropriate to compare the averages of others to a single instance , especially one that seems to be a very irregular case

> There are few if any democratic nations where an accused gets an immediate court date. This is simply because of administrative backlog. Waiting for a court date is part of the process. Not getting a court date at all would be a problem. What do you expect, that a person arrested should be allowed to go free because they can't wait?

> What admin backlog? Why would there be such an admin backlog in a country where crime is so low? Lousy excuse that makes no sense.*

> No need to openly display your lack of knowledge and experience with legal matters. Japan has plenty of crime. There just aren't as many violent and large scale relative to other countries. Go to any democratic nation, commit a major crime and demand an immediate court date. See how far that gets you.

> You're the one that always claims Japan is so safe compared to others because there's little crime. Now you claim there's plenty of crime just to suit your logically flawed premise that it's due to admin backlog.*

> In Canada the average time is 160 days. In the US, 256 days for felony cases and 193 days for misdemeanor cases. And Canada and the US has far more crime than the Japan. Two years for this woman in Japan s over 730 days.*

> How long is the average in Japan?

> In this case it was 2yrs. Why don't you look it up yourself. DIY.

You were comparing averages
