One year ago, I started this blog aiming to start a conversation to engage both Chinese and Japanese, and Americans on improving frozen Sino-Japan relationship. It was Feb. 10, 2006, a cold winterly day, I thought, it might be the time to start sowing some seeds and see what's going to happen.
One Year later, it is still a cold day, however, it is sunny, and warmer than just two days ago (17 to 31F compared to below 20C). Looking back, it has been a eventful year.
Followed my posts on Koizumi visiting Yasukuni, which proved to be a last song sung by the popular Japanese Prime Minister for his politics career. New PM Abe stops visiting Yasukuni, for now, he has every possibility to go back again, just as he did sneakily in April, 2006. China's Wen is due to visit Tokyo in this April, however, Hu Jintao's visit this year will only be a hope.
America's politicians has been ignoring Yasukuni for its own benefits, however, just when Congressman Hyde rejected Koizumi from speaking at U.S. Congress, it showed some one does care.
Out of more than 300 posts, the motto of this blog is reflected at the very first post and my favorite..... Koto Princess performing in Washington DC, which I covered in the 2nd post.
Beyond Yasukuni, Blog on!
