Japan responds to US State Department

Yesterday, the US State Department made its official rejection of current policies in place in China under Japanese authority.

It was inevitable that Japan would respond as is their right. In summation, the Japanese Imperial Government replied stating it was establishing a "new order based on genuine international justice throughout East Asia". The note also went on to make it clear that there is not one nation which has the power to establish order in areas not under sovereignty particularly that of the United States. In other words, the Japanese are calling into question whether the US has any right to complain about areas that are not under its express control in China.

Japan's New Order in China meets opposition

The United States Department of State does not believe that Japan's new order in China is beneficial. Most especially, the government feels that there are too many conflicts with US interests in China. There have been numerous economic and human rights violations during Japan's sometimes ruthless campaign on mainland Asia.

United States declared that these interferences are not only "unjust and unwarranted" but also "counter to the provisions of several binding international agreements, voluntarily entered into" to which the United States and Japan are both parties.

The Government of the United States can not assent to the establishment of a regime "which would arbitrarily deprive them of the long-established rights of equal opportunity and fair treatment".
