So you claim. Given your track record of posting delusional conspiracy theories and rationalizations for repressive regimes, so what.

"track record of posting delusional conspiracy theories and rationalizations for repressive regimes"
What about I post all atrocities inflicted on China by Japan, England, Germany and and, and, you post what compensation China got from Japan, England, America and West ?
why is Japan not compensating northern part of Korea for atrocities done to their man and woman ?
what about that ?
What about it? Why should Japan fund the most repressive government on the planet?
N Korea already receives enough remuneration through pachinko parlours run by Koreans sympathetic [go figure] to N Korea.
What next? A demand that Japan fund that second most repressive government on the planet - that of Iran?
Some actual history:
S. Korea firms tapped for Japan-rule compensation
But its [Japan's] 1965 reparations package of US$ 800 million in grants and cheap loans, along with U.S. aid, funded the “Miracle on the Han,” which transformed South Korea's economy.
Authoritarian president Park Chung-hee ploughed the compensation into modernizing the economy and infrastructure of a country left in ruins by the 1950-53 Korean War.
A self-sufficient, integrated steel mill was Park's priority.
His government poured US$118 million into building the initial plant, which began production in 1972 with an annual capacity of one million tons.
Little was left over to compensate conscript laborers, estimated by the Seoul government to have numbered 780,000 and mostly forced overseas during World War II. It was not until 1975 that Seoul passed a law to compensate them.
The reparations scheme was poorly publicized and only 8,500 applied. The government started paying 300,000 won (now US$255) for each victim but many applicants turned it down as too small.
Note that in 1965 US$ 800 million was the equivalent of
US$ 5.8 trillion today [in 2012 US$].
As for the sex worker [a.k.a. as comfort women] issue, it's a bit more complicated than generally portrayed:
Front line 3rd party [US military] report on comfort women
What to do about the situation today?
I suppose one could say that Japan is continuing to pay back Korea . . . trick by trick.

China, through it's
dragon in a fireworks factory style of diplomancy, has managed to make all it's neighbours in E Asia and SE Asia highly suspicious of it's motives and distrustful of it's intentions without any assistance from the US. Thanks to the efforts of China, the US has never been more popular in E Asia, SE Asia, and India than it is today.

how come, America should control all oceans of the world, but China not allowed to control their hemispheric waters ? ?
Well, to begin with, what expansionist China considers it's territorial waters is excessive to say the least:
So according to China, if one wades into the sea off a beach in Brunei, one is entering Chinese territorial waters.

As I pointed out, the US had to nothing, but stand back and watch China engage in it's

That's right. First on the neo occupation list - Iran.

Not surprising given that they have been raised on propaganda.
I'll again resort to poor form and quote myself:
The characters for China 中国 are often translated as the Middle Kingdom. This literal translation loses the symbolic meaning of Kingdom at the Centre of the Universe to which all other nations should naturally kowtow. Two centuries of humiliation, as the Chinese see it, from the Opium Wars to the Boxer Rebellion to the occupation of Manchuria by Japan to to Hong Kong and Macau to the ongoing existence of an independent [US protected] Taiwan have created a collective cognitive dissonance and national sense of insecurity which accounts for their bully school of diplomacy and general tantrums and histrionics.

yes, the above true, and much more
What would US and Canada say if China or Iran or Russia would declare the Navajo Indian or Squeamish Indian Chinese protectorate and sign arms treaty with them and back them declaring independence ? ? and, day in, day out, trumpet human rights this and that ?
and
who is not raised on propaganda ? that is the job of national Media .. but, neither Chinese nor Iranian dummy
So just what
is the job of Chinese and Iranian dummies then?
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.
