I was reading the news this evening, and beyond President Roh of South Korea resigning from the Millenium Democratic Party, there was an alleged sex orgy in a hotel in Zhuhai on September 17 by Japanese tourists gathering at a congratulatory meeting for their company. While still under investigation, what I found most interesting was the general subtext of the article, given this appears in a Japanese newspaper. The most overt line was found toward the end of the article, where they quote the following line from a Chinese newspaper: The People’s Daily newspaper noted that the mass orgy happened on the eve of the 72nd anniversary of the Manchurian incident marking the start of Japan’s invasion of northeastern China. While in Europe World War II may be a memory, albeit a powerful one, in Asia it is still very much alive. From Hong Kong to Singapore, the topic still very much exists and is poignant in ways that it isn’t in the West. China, Korea and Japan still have unresolved issues, flaring up periodically in their diplomatic relations, such as when the Japanese PM visited a certain war shrine in Japan. While still morally outrageous, the fact that it was Japanese tourists accused of having this event occur with Chinese prostitutes only increases the tension level.
