This cutting edge study examines the career of Chinese politician
and diplomat Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) and assesses his leadership
role in the Communist Party of China's (CPC) strategy against the
Japanese invasion of China which established the foundation for
post-World War II Sino-Japanese relations. It considers how Zhou
dealt with Japanese imperialism during his midcareer, from the May
Fourth Movement to the formation of the second United Front between
the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the CPC against Japan,
which paved the way for the Chinese victory in the second
Sino-Japanese War. Addressing significant moments such as the
Manchurian Incident and the Xi'an Incident, it provides a
thought-provoking reexamination of Zhou's involvement in the May
Fourth Movement of 1919, the first national grassroots movement in
the modern history of China calling for anti-imperialism and
nationalism, and also of his time in Europe, as essential
background to understand the birth of the CPC and Zhou's role in
it, as well as Zhou's collaboration with Zhang Xueliang, the
culprit of the Xi'an Incident. Through an in-depth analysis of
primary sources, including Zhou's own writings, the oral history of
Chinese officials, and newly declassified diplomatic archives, this
work presents a comprehensive and accurate account of Zhou's career
against the backdrop of Japanese imperialism.
This book provides an in-depth study of Japanese whaling culture,
emphasizing how the Japanese have considered whales and whaling in
relation to their understanding of nature and religion. It examines
why and how the Japanese have mourned the deaths of whales,
treating them as if they were human beings, and assesses the
relevance of this culture to nature conservation and management of
sustainable use of natural resources. It also sheds new light on
Japanese whaling, one of the most controversial issues in the
contemporary world, by highlighting the hitherto unknown aspects of
Japanese beliefs about whales and whaling, which constitute an
integral part of their core concept of how they should coexist with
nature. Through cross-examining previous studies of Japanese
whaling, as well as analyzing new documents and conducting field
research on location, this book presents a comprehensive survey of
Japanese whaling culture and memorial rites for whales and offers
viable insights on how the Japanese whaling culture can be applied
to solving current global issues, including nature conservation,
management of sustainable use of natural resources, and protection
of wildlife and its habitats.
This book is the first comprehensive, in-depth English language
study of the animals that were left behind in the exclusion zone in
the wake of the nuclear meltdown of three of the four reactors at
the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in March 2011,
triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake of magnitude 9.0.The
Japanese government designated an area of 20-kilometer radius from
the nuclear power station as an exclusion zone and evacuated one
hundred thousand residents, but left companion animals and
livestock animals behind in the radioactive area. Consequently,
about 90 percent of the animals in the exclusion zone died. This
book juxtaposes policies of the Japanese government toward the
animals in Fukushima with the actions of grassroots volunteer
animal rescue groups that filled the void of the government.
In this book, Mayumi Itoh presents a comprehensive and in-depth
examination of China's first Premier Zhou Enlai's youth in Japan,
where he received his enlightenment in Marxism from the Japanese
scholar Kawakami Hajime. Itoh analyzes primary sources including
diaries and letters to reveal the innermost thoughts of young Zhou
about how to save China from total destruction by imperial powers,
and demonstrate how Zhou's time in Japan gave him a profound
understanding of the Japanese people and society. These formative
experiences would become the foundation for post-World War II
Chinese foreign policy toward Japan and the origins of contemporary
Sino-Japanese relations.
This text provides a comprehensive re-examination of post-World War
II Sino-Japanese relations, focusing notably on Chinese premier
Zhou Enlai's foreign policy toward Japan. It juxtaposes Zhou's
stance on issues which confront current bilateral relations - such
as the "history issues" and the territorial dispute over the
Senkaku (or Diaoyu) Islands - with the current Chinese foreign
policy of President Xi Jinping. Through in-depth analysis of
primary sources, including newly published writings and biographies
of Zhou as well as newly released diplomatic archival documents,
this book reveals the truth behind secret negotiations between
China and Japan and sheds new light on contemporary Sino-Japanese
relations.
