NZ First MP Ron Mark has been accused of delivering "a borderline racial diatribe" in Parliament after suggesting National's Melissa Lee should go back to Korea.
Ms Lee said during the first reading debate on the Easter trading Bill that when she came to New Zealand 30 years ago she had been surprised to discover shops closed at 5pm.
"That was really, really surprising... in other cities they opened till 10 or midnight, or 24/7," Mr Lee said last night.
Mr Mark said he had a message for her: "If you don't like New Zealand, go back to Korea.

She is talking about the situation 30 years ago. Not that you should pay much attention to the jingoistic soundbites from any nationalistic political party with the naming format "[name of country] First."
Police detained more than 50 protesters and were seeking out others Sunday after violent clashes marred the largest anti-government demonstrations in South Korea's capital in more than seven years.
Police fired tear gas and water cannons on Saturday to disperse about 70,000 people allied with labor, civic and farmers' groups, who took to the streets to rally against conservative President Park Geun-hye. The activists oppose Park's business-friendly labor policies and a decision to require middle and high schools to use only state-issued history textbooks starting in 2017.
A 69-year-old farmer, Baek Nam-gi, remained unconscious at a hospital after he fell and injured his head as police doused him with water cannons near City Hall, said Cho Byung-ok, secretary general of the Korea Peasants League.
Video footage showed Baek lying motionless as other demonstrators struggled to drag him away and police continued to fire water cannons from atop police buses.
where is the historical origin of origami? historians guess that paper was invented in china and was propagated to japan thorough korea and also speculated that Origami have been developed and propagated in accordance with this order, but no specific records to show it.
in Nihon-shoki there is a record that "a monk Damjing, who Koguryo kings sent to japan, was good at painting and made paper and ink." because of it, it is speculated that origami also was propagated to japan at the same time.
experts also speculate that the 'hood' is a original form of origami, which was used in shamanism from the Three Kingdoms period.
........blah blah....

wagyl wrote:Presumably the author of the 1797 book describing how to fold an origami crane used time machines to time travel to the early twentieth century to steal origami culture from the Koreans (let's be generous and overlook the poem in 1680 referring to origami or the evidence of 6th century monastic practice of origami). Of course the big question is whether those time machines were also invented by the Koreans. Since we don't have those time machines any more we can make the fairly certain assumption that the colonial era Japanese then stole them from the Koreans and destroyed them.
A South Korean court on Wednesday refused to review a complaint over a 1965 treaty between Japan and South Korea that Tokyo uses to deny compensation for South Korean victims of World War II-era slavery, a boost to recent efforts by the neighbors to improve bad ties.
Seoul's Constitutional Court said the accord was never meant to serve as a standard for providing individual compensation.
The court's decision came in response to a complaint filed by a woman who said the treaty blocks her right to seek more compensation because of her late father's wartime slavery. Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945.
The 1965 treaty, which was accompanied by more than $800 million in economic aid and loans from Tokyo to Seoul, came as South Korea worked to rebuild an economy devastated by the 1950-53 Korean War. The treaty declared all compensation issues between the countries over property, rights and interests as "completely and finally" settled.

“동해” - Change US Policy to Recognize Both EAST SEA & Sea of Japan. Both IHO & UNCSGN Recommend Concurrent Usage.
Name of the sea in between Korea and Japan is in dispute:
1. EAST SEA was marked as Sea of Japan in the World Map at the IHO meeting in 1929, when the Japanese Military occupied Korea.
2. Koreans used EAST SEA for more than 2,000 years. The Korean National Anthem starts with EAST SEA.
3. In 1974 & 1977, Both IHO & UNCSGN Recommended Concurrent Usage of EAST SEA & Sea of Japan.
4. UN Resolution said “A policy of accepting only one or some of such names while excluding the rest would be inconsistent as well as inexpedient in practice.”
5. In 2014, Virginia passed Legislation requiring concurrent use in all textbooks.
WE urge the USA to change its policy to recognize both names, “EAST SEA” & “Sea of Japan,” and to support any proposals for concurrent use at the IHO Meeting on April 24, 2017.

as usual, the contents of k-claim are full of bullshits, but
as for this issue, i personally think japan does not need to stick to the name, see of japan.
the 3rd name should be invented among not only japan and korea but also china, russia, usa, filipine etc.
any good name which both sides can be satisfied with?
