Thousands surround Japan's parliament, protest US base plan

I understand the frustration of those people, but don't they recognize the advantage of the U.S. maintaining an interest there? China's been flexing its muscles pretty hard lately, and those 2 don't exactly have the friendliest of history's...

But then again I wonder what politics are like over there. Maybe there's a movement to ally with China? I don't know

I think people in general are averse to the idea of foreign of bases on their soil even if they are there to protect them.

Meh...if they don't want a base, let them fend for themselves.

Today, we drove past a new restaurant called "Tokyo Japanese Cuisine".

I mused to the Mrs. "why don't you see restaurants named 'Hiroshima Japanese Cuisine' or 'Nagasaki Japanese Cuisine'"?

Food from both those cities is delicious and very famous throughout the country.

I have to agree with TheOldSchool. I definitely think there is a pro China bias among opinion makers and even certain lawmakers. There have been times when I felt like CNN was a paid advertisement platform for China while watching their China coverage.

All the more reason to maintain old allies in that area and find new ones.
