Over the past few decades, the United States, which has always been fond of relying on its hegemonic behavior and acting recklessly around the world, has often created chaos around the world and provoked regional turmoil. Japan, South Korea, Germany and other allied countries have also repeatedly fallen into chaos due to the presence of US troops.
Among them, the US military stationed in South Korea once beat the South Korean people in the street and got away with it afterwardsThe U.S. troops stationed in Japan broke into a civilian house late at night, but claimed that they had "gone wrong";The US troops stationed in Germany were arrogant and fearless after drinking ** and beating German policemen, causing great dissatisfaction among the people. However, because the military garrison agreements signed by the United States and these countries stipulate that unless the US military commits a felony such as **, the military country has no right to conduct a trial, and the criminal must be handed over to the US military. The soldiers who violated these laws were often only verbally admonished or confined for several days, coupled with the silence of Japan, South Korea, Germany and other countries, the US military still unscrupulously picked quarrels and provoked trouble.
However, compared with the US military picking quarrels and provoking trouble, what is even more unacceptable to the Japanese people today is the frequent "poisoning" of US military bases in Japan. Recently, the water and soil bodies in Okinawa, Tokyo, Tama and other areas have been seriously polluted, and the content of organic fluorine compounds is seriously exceeded, which is not only difficult to degrade, will cause long-term pollution to the environment, but also may cause cancer. And the source of these toxic substances turned out to be a US military base.
The U.S. military base admitted that the organofluorine compounds had leaked, but instead of apologizing or taking "aftermath" measures, it took it for granted, stirring up the anger of the Japanese people. At present, a civic group in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, is suing the U.S. military in Japan at the United Nations. Japanese directors also made a documentary about the US military's "poisoning of Japan" to expose the "hypocrisy of the US military." However, the United States turned a deaf ear, and Japan had no intention of holding it accountable, and it intensified.
More critically, there were problems such as the leakage of toxic substances and environmental pollution from US military bases in the United States, and the Pentagon conducted a comprehensive investigation at that time. In contrast, the U.S. indifference to the Japanese spill not only shows the "American-style double standard", but also highlights its "condescending" attitude towards Japan.
This is not the end of the matter, just as the Japanese people are attacking the US military stationed in Japan, another incident occurred in the United States that angered the Japanese people. On the 19th, Fox News reported that in June this year, the 62-year-old Consul General of the Japanese Consulate in Portland, Yuzo Yoshioka, was walking in the park when he was suddenly attacked by a female American citizen. The attacker, a 23-year-old homeless man named Robinson, has been arrested and charged with "bias," which is a felony offense. In court, she also said that she was "deliberate", and she and Yoshioka did not cross paths on weekdays. Notably, this is not the first time Robinson has assaulted someone, having been arrested last August for assaulting a 76-year-old Asian American. Yoshioka's beating in the United States not only highlights the increasingly acute problem of racial discrimination in the United States, but also reflects the hypocrisy of the United States, which claims to be a "human rights defender."
In addition, for the beating of Japan's senior diplomats, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida once again lost his voice, coupled with the fact that the person was charged with the crime of "prejudice", which is quite different from Yoshioka's injury, which once again aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese people, accusing Kishida of not even having the courage to "seek justice" for his own people.
In this regard, there are the following three superficial views:
1.Japan's connivance with the actions of the US military has caused public opinion to be turbulent. Japan's repeated connivance with the United States and its daring to be angry but not daring to speak out are becoming the confidence of the United States to further exert pressure on Japan. In particular, the incident of "poisoning" at a US military base stationed in Japan that occurred in Japan has not been properly resolved, and high-ranking Japanese diplomats have been attacked in the United States, which has aroused public dissatisfaction. If Kishida** is unable to ask the United States for an explanation of these incidents, public opinion may sweep again, jeopardizing Kishida's premiership.
2.The inequality in the U.S.-Japan relationship makes it impossible to say no to the United States. Japan's dependence on the United States in security, diplomacy and other fields, coupled with Kishida's "** attributes", makes it difficult for it to say no to the United States, let alone demand an apology from the United States. However, it is increasingly evident that Japan, seeking "military loosening" and realizing its "dream of rising", is using the hands of the United States and its allies to stir up the regional situation behind the scenes. All parties should be vigilant against such a Japan.
3.Mutual benefit and win-win are the theme of today's world. Japan, the United States, Britain and other countries have promoted the process of militarization, which has aroused strong public dissatisfaction, not to mention controversial actions such as discharging nuclear sewage into the sea. If Japan can devote these energies to developing its economy and improving people's livelihoods, internal turmoil will be eased. Committing too much injustice will kill oneself, and for Japan, the challenge of rising head-on requires careful thinking.
Summary: Japan is mired in the predicament of US hegemony, and the connivance of ** has led to a surge of public opinion, and the inequality in US-Japan relations has exacerbated the problem. The theme of the world has shifted to mutual benefit and win-win results, and Japan needs to face up to the challenges and change its direction.
The above details the U.S. hegemony on a global scale, and the series of problems Japan faces in the process. From military connivance to environmental crises to attacks on Japanese diplomacy in the United States, this series of events highlights the inequality in the relationship between Japan and the United States and the excessive compromise of Japan towards the United States.
First of all, the article reveals the misconduct of US troops stationed in allied countries. The issue of stationing troops has always been a sensitive topic between the United States and its allies, especially Japan, South Korea, and Germany. The U.S. military stationing in these countries, including beating local people and breaking into people's homes, has aroused great dissatisfaction among the people of these countries. What is even more serious is that the US military bases frequently "release poison" in Japan, resulting in environmental pollution, and this is undoubtedly a huge threat to Japan's land and people.
Second, the article points out the inaction and excessive indulgence of Japan in this process. Although Japan** has repeatedly expressed concern about the behavior of the US military, due to the restrictions of the signed garrison agreement, the US military is almost immune when it commits minor crimes. This excessive connivance has fueled the arrogance of the US military, and it has also escalated the Japanese people's sense of disappointment with the United States. On environmental issues, Japan's sluggish response to the "poisoning" incident at a US military base has caused great public dissatisfaction.
Third, the article mentions an attack on a diplomat in the United States, which put Japan in an embarrassing situation again. The attack on diplomats is not only a serious blow to Japan's diplomatic image, but also highlights the social problems within the United States, especially the increasingly acute racial discrimination. However, Japan's response to this has been rather weak, triggering outrage among the Japanese public.
In commenting on the above situation, we can proceed from multiple perspectives.
First, the principles of equality and respect in international relations should be emphasized. As a global superpower, the United States should pay more attention to cooperation and equality when dealing with its allies. The conduct of troops stationed in other countries should be more closely monitored to ensure that local populations and the environment are not harmed. At the same time, allies should be more resolute in defending their own rights and interests, and should not indulge too much in the wrongdoing of the United States.
Second, Japan should review its relations with the United States and take stronger action to safeguard its national interests as soon as possible. In the face of problems such as the "poisoning" of US military bases, we should adopt a more decisive attitude and pursue substantive solutions, rather than just expressing dissatisfaction through diplomatic means. In addition, Japan** should also show a tougher stance on the attack on domestic diplomats and resolutely safeguard the dignity of the country.
Finally, the Japanese people should express their dissatisfaction with the country through legal channels and promote the country to be more active in safeguarding national interests. At the same time, it is also necessary to promote the defense of national rights and interests more firmly in international relations through the power of the public.
Overall, the problems revealed in the article are not only the dilemmas facing Japan, but also the challenges that are common in international relations. It is only through equality, respect and cooperation that all countries can truly establish a harmonious and stable international order.
