Japan’s Lawmakers Call Out Human Rights Abuses in China​

As the winter Olympics begin this week in Beijing, the Japanese parliament has added its voice to the global chorus of concern about human rights in China.

As the winter Olympics begin this week in Beijing, the Japanese parliament has added its voice to the global chorus of concern about human rights in China. The Resolution Regarding the Serious Human Rights Situation in Xinjiang Uighur and Other Areas passed almost unanimously on February 1. As expected, the Chinese Foreign Ministry reaction was swift, claiming Japan “has no authority whatsoever to make wanton remarks” about other countries’ human rights conditions.

Five political parties worked on the draft. The two parties that make up the ruling coalition, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito, were joined by the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, the Restoration Party and the Japan Communist Party. To gain this multiparty buy in, the Asahi Shimbun reported that the resolution’s language was softened so that all five parties could support it. For example, instead of human rights “violations,” the resolution focused on the human rights “situation.” The tiny Reiwa Shinsengumi party refused to sign, apparently out of this deference to Chinese feelings.

The Diet resolution made no direct reference to the People’s Republic of China, and yet there was no mistaking whose behavior this resolution was referring to. It noted the rising international concern over the “infringement of freedom of religion and forced incarceration in places including Xinjiang Uighur, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, and Hong Kong.”

The intent was not only to call out China, however. The House of Representatives called on the Japanese government “which proclaims respecting human rights as a principle” to make a “constructive commitment” to human rights. The Resolution called for a “substantive and solid political document” to guide Japan’s human rights diplomacy.

This explicit elevation of human rights in Japan’s foreign policy agenda has been the project of some within the LDP, Gen Nakatani foremost among them, for some time. In November, when Prime Minister Kishida invited Nakatani, a former defense minister, to advise him on human rights, it became clear that Japan would be increasing its cooperation with others in the international community on addressing China’s human rights abuses.

The language of the resolution urged Japanese to consider the use of force by states internally as of equal import to the use of force abroad. “The House of Representatives of Japan regards changing the status quo through force, as seen with the serious human rights situation, as a threat to the international community, and strongly calls for accountability for this serious issue in a manner acceptable to the international community.” Moreover, these lawmakers also argued that Japan should prepared to act in support of “those people in need.”

On the eve of the Beijing Olympics, Japan’s alignment with other nations around the globe on China’s human rights abuses portends a difficult year for Sino-Japanese relations. 2022 is the 50th anniversary of the normalization of Japan’s relations with China, and in his early call with Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa in November of last year, Foreign Minister Wang Yi cautioned him to focus on the positive this year. In response to the resolution, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, called the resolution “a severe political provocation against the Chinese people.” This is not likely to be an anniversary marked with popular celebration.

did they call out human right abuses by USAF in Afghanistan where they killed the whole family women and children because they thought their was a "terrorist" living in the house?

or in syria where they dropped bombed to kill ISIS commander and murdered women and kids?

or in Israel where zionist pigs murder everyday?

or in kashmir where Hindu forces are killing Muslims?

They will be selective in their so called righteous. Fighting justice for others is not their aim but using it as excuse to attack their foe, is.

Japan is no one to dictate or point fingers at others. No one has forgotten what the Japanese did during and at the start of the second world war, in China. Today Japan is just a vassal state of Western Imperialism.

 

[sha ah]

First of all, what happens in a country during peacetime, is a domestic issue for that country to resolve. The US has several human rights issues, racial tensions between ethnic groups, police discrimination against minorities, the largest prison population in the world with the majority being minorities, many referring to it as modern day extension of slavery. 10% of the population don't even have healthcare, the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare. We could go on and on but they're all domestic issues right ?

Japan is an island nation with a homogeneous population with 125 million people, over 95% Japanese ethnically. China has over 1.4 billion, is connection to the Eurasian continent, has countless smaller ethnic groups. Many small unknown ethnic groups in China have populations as large as 30-40 million or more, which could easily constitute an entire nation. With so much diversity, with such a large population, it's extremely difficult to keep the peace and of course its inevitable that some controversy and tensions will break out here and there.

However at the end of the day, all Chinese people enjoy healthcare, free education, cheap food, cheap health care, a decent standard of living which has been gradually increasing over the decades. In the US, you walk around downtown in most large cities and its not safe at night. There are as many guns as there are people and shootings, robberies, gun violence is extremely common compared to other industrialized nations. On the other hand in China, you can walk around any large city at night at any time and feel safe. That safety comes at a price, everything works like that. Just like Duterte cleaned up the Phillipines and now women can walk around with baby carriages at night and feel safe. But there is a price for that, and it's controversial.


Quickly watch this video, It's relevant to this issue and you will probably enjoy it.

Well, an obvious counter point that can be made is that WW2 was war time. PRC dealings in Xinjiang on local population that don't want to "harmonize" to the CCP goal is peacetime. The persecution of Falun Gong to the point of zero is also peacetime. What are the examples of Japan doing those kinds of things to Japan's own population during peacetime? It is actions taken against their own population that is used as a discrediting function to mobilize political will towards the targeted country for new policy towards the target country. Granted there is something to say about hypocrisy. Falun Gong prosecution was in high gear when the US (both Democrat and Republican) approved China's ascension to the WTO at around the year 2000. If the same human rights principles were taken back in 2000, then the PRC could not have been allowed into the WTO. So it is fair to say that the use of those principles now is really to serve geopolitical contest then out of genuine human rights concerns by the US and other western higher ups. But still it leaves the point about what the PRC's tight control policy has resulted in with the human socio-cultural engineering going on in Xinjiang. It could still be said that back in 2000, the PRC was poor and if their interact more in business and cultural exchanges, then the PRC would loosen up control. So in effect of "let's give them a chance". Well the PRC blew their chance for that. Of course all said with US involvement in the ME. Although even if no involvement in the ME, there is still competition between Sunni and Shia to be had, so its not like the ME would be all butterflies and rainbows if there was no US.

Anyway that was one point..

Other points.. a quick one.. the comfort women is way blown out of proportion. While at the same time, K-pop popularizes sexuality and human trafficking happens in ROK today.. so *yawn*

Nanjing is a sensitive point for good reason but there is a lot that should be said about that too instead of being flung out like a knee jerk reaction punchline. Since it is a lot of content, it is unfair to reproduce everything in a cool and sincere mind every time it gets used so clumsily. Consider the following: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/if-j...a-instead-of-the-british.609701/post-11331236 But to add to what is not in that link is that the mentioning of the Nanking massacre is in Japanese high school books in actuality. Unit 731 as well. Japanese self-reflection can and does happen but with the constant China and others need to recognize the full context of it and receive that reflection fairly instead politicizing it. If the PRC would stop using it as a politicized tool with gross exaggerations, I think both China and Japan could reach a merging in regional narrative history on this. China needs to start treating history like a respectable world power and not as if it was some poor weak country that uses history sympathy to give it a leg up to get out of economic poverty. That is related to the factors in causing the second Sino-Japanese war so for the full context of that, consider the following which are again to wordy to reproduce each time its reduced as a kneejerk reacting punchline:
