Japan files formal objection to UN committee's recommendation of modifying 'comfort women' agreement
일본 위안부 합의는 최종적•불가역…유엔 개정권고에 반론문
A UN committee earlier this month concluded that the 2015 deal between Seoul and Tokyo over wartime sex slavery issue should be modified.
An agreement highly criticized by South Koreans as it was reached under a corrupt administration, behind closed doors.
The Japanese government's latest move: reportedly they sent a formal objection.
Connie Kim give us the updates.
Japan wants to get its stance clear that the landmark agreement between Seoul and Tokyo over Japan's wartime sex slavery issue is irreversible and final.
Japan's daily Yomiuri Shimbun reported the Japanese government has submitted a rebutting document to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights… following up on a report by the UN committee against Torture that recommends the definition of comfort women as sexual slave is wrong.
The report published earlier this month recommended Korea to review the bilateral deal reached in December 2015 to ensure that the surviving victims of Japan's sexual slavery during World War 2 are provided with redress including the right to compensation and rehabilitation.
According to the daily,... Tokyo rebutted there was no evidence of Japanese military forcing the enslavement of women.
Japan in its formal objection voiced that the comfort women dispute was resolved finally and irreversibly and based on that accord,... has disbursed one billion yen, or about 8.9 million U.S. dollars, to a Korean fund last year to help the victims and families of Japan's wartime atrocity.
In a regular press briefing Tuesday,... Seoul noted it is aware of a UN committee's recommendation and had this to say about Tokyo's move:
We are aware that the Japanese government has submitted its opinion on the so-called comfort women issue to the UN committee against Torture,... and are reviewing Tokyo's stance.
. .
The UN committee's recommendation and Tokyo's objection come at an interesting time as Korean President Moon Jae-in has cast doubts over the landmark agreement saying the majority of Koreans have expressed dissatisfaction over the deal.
With President Moon's special envoy to Japan Moon Hee-sang commenting that Seoul and Japan agreed to resolve the 'comfort women' issue in a future-oriented manner,...expectations are mounting over what Seoul's next move will be.

Unearthed 2,000-Year-Old Sword Still in Mint Condition
Archeologists in central China's Henan Province recently discovered an over 2,000-year-old sword that was still glittering in mint condition when being unearthed.
The sword was found in a coffin which was excavated in mid-December 2016 from a tomb in the ancient Chengyang City Archaeological Site Park in today's Xinyang City of Henan. The tomb dates back to the Warring States Period (475 BC-221 BC).
Archeologists then transferred the well-preserved coffin to a museum of the archaeological site and found the sword next to a human skeleton in the coffin.
According to the preliminary judgments of the archeologists, the 47-cm-long sword was made of bronze and belonged to a senior official in the Warring States Period.
The ancient city of Chengyang was built over 2,700 years ago.

CHINA: TIANANMEN SQUARE MASSACRE ANNIVERSARY
Mandarin/Nat
Chinese police kept close watch on dissidents and a sensitive grave site on the tenth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square democracy protests.
The authorities wanted to prevent public commemoration of the massacre, especially when discontent amongst the unemployed is rising and China's economy is slowing down.
For two hours on a rainy Thursday morning, police closed off the grave site in southern China of former Communist Party leader Hu Yaobang.
In the past eight days, police have detained at least two dissidents to keep them from traveling to Hu's grave.
It's located on a hilltop in a stretch of woods planted by the Communist Youth League which he once headed.
A third dissident - a former aide to Hu - called off his plans to visit when police made it clear he was not welcome.
Foreign reporters were also kept away.
Several motorcades with police escort were allowed to enter the Yaobang cemetery - presumably to allow family members and other high-level officials to pay their respects out of public view.
By mid-afternoon, seven floral wreaths, limp from a steady rain, lay at the black stone base of the Hu's monument-size grave stone.
Plainclothes police, carrying umbrellas, outnumbered cautious visitors.
Hu was ousted as party chief for being too liberal.
His death on April 15, 1989, sparked the protests that brought over a million people to Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
It ended seven weeks later with a military assault which killed hundreds.
The Tiananmen Square protests and their bloody end are among the most divisive issues in modern Chinese politics.
The communist leadership began a crackdown on dissents late last year, partly out of fear that democracy campaigners would use the anniversary to stir up opposition to Beijing.

SUMMARY
=======
The Boxer Rebellion (拳亂), Boxer Uprising, or Yihetuan Movement (義和團運動) was an anti-foreign, anti-colonial, and anti-Christian uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901, toward the end of the Qing dynasty. They were motivated by proto-nationalist sentiments and by opposition to Western colonialism and the Christian missionary activity that was associated with it.
It was initiated by the Militia United in Righteousness (Yihetuan), known in English as the Boxers, for many of their members had been practitioners of Chinese martial arts, also referred to in the west as Chinese Boxing. The uprising took place against a background that included severe drought and disruption caused by the growth of foreign spheres of influence. After several months of growing violence in Shandong and the North China plain against the foreign and Christian presence in June 1900, Boxer fighters, convinced they were invulnerable to foreign weapons, converged on Beijing with the slogan Support the Qing government and exterminate the foreigners. Foreigners and Chinese Christians sought refuge in the Legation Quarter.
In response to reports of an armed invasion by allied American, Austro-Hungarian, British, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian forces to lift the siege, the initially hesitant Empress Dowager Cixi supported the Boxers and on June 21 issued an Imperial Decree declaring war on the foreign powers. Diplomats, foreign civilians, and soldiers as well as Chinese Christians in the Legation Quarter were detained for 55 days by the Imperial Army of China and the Boxers.
Chinese officialdom was split between those supporting the Boxers and those favoring conciliation, led by Prince Qing. The supreme commander of the Chinese forces, the Manchu General Ronglu (Junglu), later claimed he acted to protect the besieged foreigners. Many officials refused the imperial order to fight against foreigners in their Mutual Protection of Southeast China, because Qing had lost the First Sino-Japanese War five years before.
The Eight-Nation Alliance, after being initially turned back, brought 20,000 armed troops to China, defeated the Imperial Army, and arrived at Peking on August 14, relieving the siege of the Legations. Uncontrolled plunder of the capital and the surrounding countryside ensued, along with the summary execution of those suspected of being Boxers.
The Boxer Protocol of 7 September 1901 provided for the execution of government officials who had supported the Boxers, provisions for foreign troops to be stationed in Beijing, and 450 million taels of silver—approximately $10 billion at 2018 silver prices and more than the government's annual tax revenue—to be paid as indemnity over the course of the next thirty-nine years to the eight nations involved. The Empress Dowager then sponsored a set of institutional and fiscal changes in a failed attempt to save the dynasty.

SUMMARY
=======
Chiang Kai-shek (; 31 October 1887 – 5 April 1975), also known as Generalissimo Chiang or Chiang Chungcheng and romanized as Chiang Chieh-shih or Jiang Jieshi, was a politician and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975, first in mainland China until 1949 and then in exile in Taiwan. He was recognized by much of the world as the head of the legitimate government of China until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, as well as a close ally of Sun Yat-sen's. Chiang became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun's place as leader of the KMT following the Canton Coup in early 1926. Having neutralized the party's left wing, Chiang then led Sun's long-postponed Northern Expedition, conquering or reaching accommodations with China's many warlords.From 1928 to 1948, Chiang served as chairman of the National Government of the Republic of China (ROC). Chiang was socially conservative, promoting traditional Chinese culture in the New Life Movement. Unable to maintain Sun's good relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chiang purged them in a massacre at Shanghai and repressed uprisings at Kwangtung (Canton region) and elsewhere.
At the onset of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which later became the Chinese theater of World War II, Manchurian warlord Zhang Xueliang kidnapped Chiang and obliged him to establish a Second United Front with the CCP. After the defeat of the Japanese, the American-sponsored Marshall Mission, an attempt to negotiate a coalition government, failed in 1946. The Chinese Civil War resumed, with the CCP led by Mao Zedong defeating the KMT and declaring the People's Republic of China in 1949. Chiang's government and army retreated to Taiwan, where Chiang imposed martial law and persecuted critics in a period known as the White Terror. After evacuating to Taiwan, Chiang's government continued to declare its intention to retake mainland China. Chiang ruled Taiwan securely as President of the Republic of China and General of the Kuomintang until his death in 1975, just one year before Mao's death.Like Mao, Chiang is regarded as a controversial figure. Supporters credit him with playing a major part in the Allied victory of World War II and unifying the nation and a national figure of the Chinese resistance against Japan as well as his staunch anti-Soviet and anti-communist stance. Detractors and critics denounce him as a dictator at the front of an authoritarian autocracy who suppressed and purged opponents and critics and arbitrarily incarcerated those he deemed as opposing to the Kuomintang among others.
