The Koreans only recently (within the past several decades) created their own phoenetic script, as the Chinese characters, which although nice, did not emobdy the Korean language. In order to remedy this, the ruler of Korea at the time (I don't recall his name) chartered the current writing system of Korea.

Also, in the northernmost sections of Japan, there is another civilization of people, akin to the Native American population of the midwestern US States, which are treated moderately by the current Japanese government, but were treated poorly in the past. They were there long before the current Japanese people. When I recall the name, I'll let you know... but an odd quirk about them is that their females tattooed their eyelids and lips to make them appear bigger, as a mark of beauty.

from what i heard, people try to trace japanese genes and found about 1/3 have chinese genes and a huge number have korean genes. and the koreans have genes from mongols.

From what I've read, Korea was a seperate kingdom from China until the Han dynasty. Then, the Han people conquered Korea. Settlers from Han China settled in Korea, and the two peoples intermarried. Later, Mongols who have raided and settled in Korea also intermarried with the local populace.

politics back in those days are way more straight forward. it's basically: if you don't do what i say, im gonna destory you with my superior army. and no one else in the world would care if such a small kingdom is destoried.

Internal politics are way more complicated though, more than the Western Nations.

You have to be very clever to survive in the political game.

The people that you are talking about are called the Ainu.

The Chinese and Japanese have always been enemies with each other..........
But if it wasn't for WW2, though, we would be much better friends today.
Japan needed resources, but it was their actions that got the Chinese to forever hate them.
(Stupid #@$%$^$% Meiji. Had to say that Japanese are superior!!!!!!

)

As for the kid-to-Japan theory, I believe it, but I don't know about the numbers. There are Japanese there already by then, though.(These Japanese left the Chinese and other Asians earlier)

I believe this. All Asians were once together. And since the Koreans and Chinese are next to each other, it's not impossible that we were one race once. Plus, why are our surnames interchangable? I like the Korean alphabet and the way Korean works, though.

Many koreans spend time learning about chinese (some of my korean friends are better at reading than I am....)

Peace monument

Some 200 foreign veteran soldiers also joined Chinese wartime generals for the unveiling of a peace monument in Chaoyang Park.

They signed the Beijing Peace Declaration, which is to be written on the monument in five languages along with signatures of the veterans.

"The wars of 60 years ago were bad enough so any war in the future would be pretty bad I would think, and I hope it never happens," veteran US pilot Glen Beneda said at the ceremony.

Japan formally surrendered on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on 2 September, 1945, bringing an end to World War II.

The formal surrender of China by Japan happened at the Central Military Academy in Nanjing on 9 September.

China believes as many as 35 million people were killed during Japan's 14-year occupation of the country.
