Cyrano, I would put racism, the self-anointment of being the rulers over the rest (much like the idea of the Middle Kingdom), the population’s fierce loyalty to the Emperor, the long-standing militarism nurtured by the samurai, a great feeling of insecurity especially when surrounded by implacable Tsarist Russia and Imperial China, and a sense of betrayal as well as the looming presence by the Western nations in the 19th & early 20th centuries all contributed to this depraved and despicable behaviour.

Thanks SSridhar ji.
Which means Buddhist and Taoist philosophical underpinnings didn't prevent this depravity. Interesting.

Japanese foreign ministry conducted a domestic survey from March 16 to 20 on Japan’s diplomacy. On India, most backed strengthening of Economic ties

On China, 60% called on to take a strong stance on territorial issues.

Japan threatens to destroy any rockets/missiles that overfly its territory, after NKorea announces plans to launch first military spy satellite within 2 weeks:








Seems like NKorean regime was on death's door just a few years ago -- but now the Cold War seems to be back in full force, and has given them a new lease on life.

It feels like the more Japan & SKorea are tapped by Washington for pressure against Russia & China, then the more NKorea will be supported by China & Russia in carrying out provocations against Japan & SKorea.

This time it's a spy satellite - but what further mischief can NKorea make?

The ever vengeful spirit of Japan's nuclear bombing trauma returns:









Notice near the end how his dorsal spines now pop out like reactor control rods, before he unleashes his fearsome atomic breath

I am glad for programs like INSPIRE-MANAK, under which these students were selected through a competition, organized by the Department of Science & Technology. The DST has been successfully participating in this exchange program since 2015.

Under the Japan-Asia Youth Exchange (SAKURA) Science High School Program, a group of 55 students studying in classes X, XI, and XII will be visiting Japan for a week. During their visit, they will gain exposure to Japan's science and technology institutes, including meetings with Japanese Nobel laureates.
