The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Korea is not the only party to fight the information warfare.
Former Chinese workers who complained of Mitsubishi Materials (formerly Mitsubishi Mining) as being forced to work in Hashima Island coal mine, etc. in June 2016 have won the settlement.
The contents of the settlement that Mitsubishi Materials exchanged with the representatives of the former workers paid 100,000 yuan (about 1.7 million yen) per person after expressing "apologies" and "reflections of pain", apologizing monument in Japan To build the. To bear the investigation expenses of missing victims.
It is said that more than 3,700 people worked for the company, and if all received compensation, the total amount will be between 6 billion and 7 billion yen. In case of
In response to this issue, the government stood up as a "private matter", but it seems to be true that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended Mitsubishi Materials to settle.
Why did such a thing?
In the first place, the postwar compensation problem with China should have already been settled by the Chinese government in 1972’s Japan - China Joint Statement that the Chinese government "abandons claims for war against Japan".
The lawsuits that former Chinese workers have filed against the Japanese court are also in line with the framework of the San Francisco Convention that the Supreme Court established in 2007 that the Japan-China Joint Statement will waive, including individual claim rights And has dismissed the appeal. In case of
In such a framework of post-war processing, the court in China once did not accept even a lawsuit seeking post-war reparations from former workers to two companies such as Mitsubishi Materials in 2014 The court of Beijing accepted the case.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe worshiped Yasukuni Shrine in December last year, Accepting lawsuits as the relationship between Japan and China froze,
It can be seen that there was a political intention of "retaliation" in Japan.
Chinese judicial organizations are practically under the guidance of the Communist Party.
Here, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fears further cooling of the relationship between Japan and China, whispered "reconciliation" to Mitsubishi Materials that had won over all cases until then by the principle that "compensation problems after war have been resolved legally, including personal compensation" right.
It is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with only subordinate warfare thinking.
If the Japanese side accepts the settlement, the Chinese government will surely "hypothesise" that it will hold down further lawsuits.
It lost its national interests due to the optimistic desire.
If we break down the principle of "resolved" and respond to an unfounded claim by emotional judgment, it will lead to further unfair demands.
Actually, in December last year, former Chinese workers and 27 bereaved families sued Kajima Construction in Beijing city court.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs granted a new Japanese denunciation card to China and South Korea over "Hashima Island (Warship Island)".
Both countries think that it is better to have as many as one harassed anti-Japanese cards.
There is also the possibility of getting a large amount of reparations (China has already acquired it).
