10 things South Korea does better than anywhere else

(CNN) -- For such a small country -- it ranks 109th in the world for total area, right behind Iceland -- South Korea sure is in the news a lot.

Occasionally that news is grim -- something to do with a troublesome cousin across the border.

Sometimes it's pure mainstream pop -- a bunch of cute singers taking down Lady Gaga on the world stage.

Sometimes it's just plain astonishing -- no one throws out the first pitch at a baseball game with as much panache as South Koreans.

From the weird to the wonderful to sci-fi stuff from a Samsung galaxy far, far away,
here are things South Korea pulls off more spectacularly than anywhere else.

1. Wired culture 

Want to see what the future looks like?

Book a ticket to the country with a worldwide high 82.7% Internet penetration and where 78.5% of the entire population is on smartphones (as of 2013).

Among 18 to 24 year olds, smartphone penetration is 97.7%.

While they're chatting away on emoticon-ridden messenger apps such as Naver Line or Kakao Talk,
South Koreans also use their smartphones to pay at shops,
watch TV (not Youtube but real-time channels) on the subway and scan QR codes
at the world's first virtual supermarket.

Hyundai plans on rolling out a car that starts with your smartphone in 2015.

Samsung in the meantime has been designing a curved phone.

Crazy displays of technology already in place but not yet distributed can be seen

2. Whipping out the plastic 

South Koreans became the world's top users of credit cards two years ago,
according to data from the Bank of Korea.

While Americans made 77.9 credit card transactions per person in 2011 and Canadians made 89.6,
South Koreans made 129.7.

It's technically illegal for any merchant in the country to refuse credit cards,
no matter how low the price, and all cabs have credit card machines.

All that flying plastic makes Seoul one of our top shopping cities in the world.

3. Workaholics 

South Koreans are so used to studying -- the country has the highest education level in Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) countries, with 98% of the population completing secondary education and 63% with a college education --
they can't get out of the habit once they reach the work force.

According to this quirky map from thedoghousediaries,
Brazil sets the standard for FIFA World Cup titles and North Korea leads in "censorship,"
but South Korea takes the crown for workaholics.

You can see it in any Korean city, where lights in buildings blaze into the late hours as workers slave away.

According to 2012 data from South Korea's Ministry of Strategy and Finance, South Koreans work 44.6 hours per week,
compared with the OECD average of 32.8.

And according to a study released in August 2014, along with Tokyo residents,
Seoulites get the least amount of sleep of any residents of major cities in the world,
just less than six hours a night.

4. Business boozing 

When they're not working, Koreans are celebrating their latest deals or drowning their sorrows in soju.

While many leading companies are trying to curb the working/drinking culture,
there are still plenty of bosses who drag their teams out for way too many rounds of soju/beer/whiskey "bombs."

Those who opt out are considered rude or hopelessly boring.

Yes, Japan and a few other countries can stake reasonable claims to this title,
but South Korea has stats to back up the barroom brag.

Jinro soju was the world's best-selling liquor last year, for the eleventh year in a row,
with its home country accounting for most of the sales.

The South Korean distilled rice liquor manufacturer outsold Smirnoff vodka,
which came in second by 37.48 million cases.

5. Innovative cosmetics

When it comes to makeup and cosmetics,
South Koreans can't stop experimenting with ingredients or methods of application.

Snail creams (moisturizers made from snail guts) are so 2011.

Now it's all about Korean ingredients such as Innisfree's Jeju Island volcanic clay mask and fermented soybean moisturizer.

At VDL, Korea's latest trendy cosmetics line, products change monthly.

Right now, they're pushing "hair shockers" -- neon tints for hair -- and nail polish with real flowers in it.

Just as Korean men are less wary of going under the plastic surgery knife (see point 10)
than their foreign counterparts, they also snap up skincare products and, yes,
even makeup, namely foundation in the form of BB cream.

South Korea is by far the largest market for men's cosmetics, with Korean men buying a quarter of the world's men's cosmetics --
around $900 million a year, according to Euromonitor.

6. Female golfers 

The Economist posed a million-dollar question in 2013.

"Why are Korean women so good at golf?"

The rankings were staggering.

Of the top 100 female golfers in the world, 38 were Korean.

Of the current top 25, 9 are Korean
(10 if you count Seoul-born Lydia Ko, who calls New Zealand home).

Inbee Park, 25, is the second-ranked player in women's golf and was the youngest player to win the U.S. Women's Open.

In January, Ko, 14, set the record for the youngest woman to ever win a professional golf tournament.

Chalk it up to crazy Korean competitiveness or to the Tiger Mom/Dad theory
(golfer Se-Ri Pak's father is infamous for making her sleep alone in a cemetery every night to steel her nerves),
but the phenomenon certainly begs study.

Widely thought to be a response to Korean domination of the sport, the U.S.-based LPGA passed a requirement in 2008 mandating
that its members must learn to speak English, or face suspension.

7. Starcraft

One country's hopeless nerds are among another's highest earning celebrities.

Starcraft is actually a legitimate career in South Korea,
with pro gamers raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings in addition to endorsements.

Since the game launched in 1998, nearly half of all games have been sold in South Korea,
where boys, girls, men and women drop by for a night of gaming in giant video game parlors.

There are cable channels devoted solely to the games, and the culture has led to approximately 14% of Koreans
between ages 9 and 12 suffering from Internet addiction, according to the National Information Agency.

To try to crack down, the government passed a ban dubbed the "shutdown law" or
"Cinderella law" two years ago, prohibiting anyone 16 and younger from game websites.
The ban has been widely ignored.

8. Flight attendants

Flight attendants from airlines around the world come to Korean airlines' training centers to learn proper airborne charm.

Ask anyone who's ever flown a Korean airline and dare them to say the service isn't the best they've ever had.

It's not just the sweet smiles that greet every little request,
but the almost comical looks of suicidal despair when they somehow run out of bibimbap in the row before yours.

9. Blind dates

"When's your next sogeting (blind date)?"

That's one of the most frequently asked questions of any Korean single.

The standard answer is the epic horror story that was the last blind date,
often involving a crippling Oedipus complex or intolerable physical flaw.

Followed immediately by a chirpy, "Why, do you know someone you can set me up with?"

Due to the high volume of blind dates, when Korean make up their minds, they move quickly.

According to data compiled by South Korea's largest matchmaking company, Duo,
the average length of time of a relationship from the (blind) first date to marriage is
approximately 10.2 months for working people, with an average of 62 dates per couple.

In a survey conducted by Duo, working singles interested in marriage say they typically go on two blind dates a week.

They should know. Of the top four matchmaking companies in Korea (there are 2,500 companies in the country),
Duo has a 63.2% marketshare.

10. Plastic surgery

Whether it's a lantern jaw, wide forehead or long teeth, there's no feature doctors can't beautify
in the Asian capital for cosmetic surgery.

Russians, Chinese, Mongolians and Japanese flock to South Korea on plastic surgery "medical tours,"
not only for the skill of the surgeons, but for the good deals.

"An average -- not excellent -- face-lift in the United States will set you back about $10,000," S
eoul National University Hospital plastic surgeon Kwon Seung-taik told CNN.
"But in Korea you can get the same service for $2,000 or $3,000."

2 Russian TU-95MS Bombers Stray into Korea's Air Defense Zone

Two Russian TU-95MS bombers intruded into Korea's air defense identification zone
over the East and South Seas during joint Korea-U.S. military exercises last week.

Two F-15K fighter jets were scrambled from an air base in Dageu on Aug. 21 when
the two Russian bombers flew into the zone, a military spokesman said.

"We understand that they were flying on patrol," the spokesman added.

The air defense identification zone is not recognized by international treaties but
set by individual nations as the boundary where foreign aircraft need to seek prior permission from the country that claims it.

In February, Russian aircraft also intruded into Korea's air defense zone during joint drills.

Last week, the Russian bombers also intruded into Japan's air defense zone.
Two F-15J fighters of the Japanese Self-Defense Force were scrambled in response,
a Japanese government spokesman said.

The TU-95MS has a range of 15,000 km and a maximum speed of 920 km/h and can carry nuclear weapons.

Japan defense budget request highest ever as Abe boosts military

Japan’s defense planners are seeking their biggest budget ever for the coming fiscal year to pay for stealth fighters, drones and a hi-tech submarine, as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe bolsters the military amid an intensifying rivalry with China.

The Defense Ministry on Friday requested a 3.5% increase to 5.05 trillion yen for the year starting next April. If approved, this third increase in a row will more than reverse the decade of cuts that Abe ended after coming to office in December 2012.

Abe, taking a more assertive stance on national security, has also ended a ban on Japanese soldiers fighting abroad and eased curbs on weapons exports.

By testing the constraints of Japan’s pacifist postwar constitution, Abe has angered some neighbors, especially Beijing, which accuses him of reviving the nation’s wartime militarism.

Japan, in turn, is wary of the rapid military buildup in China, which has overtaken Japan in recent years as the world’s second-biggest economy. Beijing’s military budget has jumped fourfold over the past decade to 808 billion yuan ($132 billion), nearly triple Japan’s.

In recent years, Sino-Japanese tensions have ramped up over the ownership of a group of uninhabited islets in the East China Sea. Patrol ships and military planes from both countries now routinely shadow each other in the area.

In an bid to better protect remote islands, Japan’s Defense Ministry wants to buy six F-35 stealth fighters from Lockheed Martin Corp as well as 20 P-1 patrol planes from Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd - a bulk purchase to cut per-unit cost.

The government says procurement reform, including bulk purchases for multi-year projects, will save 700 billion yen over five years.

In another request meant to patrol the waters plied by China, the ministry is seeking 64.4 billion yen for an upgraded Soryu class submarine that can stay submerged far longer than the boat of the same class it requested for this fiscal year for 20% less.

The new sub has a propulsion system using long-running lithium-ion batteries, replacing one that used liquid oxygen to run a diesel engine, allowing it to stay underwater for around two weeks. The new design allows a “significant extension to the submarine’s ability to stay submerged,” said a ministry official.

Australia has said it is interested in the Soryu design as a possible replacement for its Collins class subs, which need to suck air through a snorkel at the surface when they use their diesel engines while submerged.

Japan’s shopping list also includes unmanned surveillance planes and tilt-rotor aircraft that take off and land like a helicopter but fly like a plane, as Japan aims to boost its monitoring and troop-deployment capabilities.

The ministry does not specify which models of tilt-rotor aircraft and unmanned drones it has in mind because talks with potential suppliers are still going on, but the V-22 Osprey, built by Boeing Co and Bell Helicopter, is the only tilt-rotor plane in military use - including by U.S. forces in Japan.

Besides the cutting-edge weapons, the budget request is boosted by the planned replacement of aging government planes, used for purposes like the prime minister’s overseas trips - akin to the U.S. president’s Air Force One - with two of Boeing’s 777-300ER jets.

When expenses for the new government planes and costs associated with the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan are excluded, the budget request comes to 4.9 trillion yen, up 2.4% from this year.

The Defense Ministry is also eying North Korea, seeking its seventh destroyer equipped with the Aegis ballistic-missile defense system.

“We will fortify our system of defending the whole of our country continuously and in a multi-layered fashion against ballistic missile attacks,” the ministry said in a statement.

Much of the Japanese archipelago sits within the range of North Korea’s mid-range Rodong missiles. The ministry’s latest white paper calls Pyongyang’s military activity a grave destabilising factor for Japan and the rest of the world.

The submission of the initial budget request will be followed by a series of negotiations between the Defense and Finance ministries ahead of the compilation of the government’s budget bill at the end of the year.

North Korea Building Missile Submarine

New intelligence raises fears of future underwater nuclear missile threat from Pyongyang

U.S. intelligence agencies believe North Korea is building a submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles, potentially increasing the threat posed
by the nuclear-armed rogue state.

A missile launch tube on a North Korean submarine was observed recently by U.S. intelligence agencies
and is raising new concerns about the missile and nuclear threat from the communist regime in Pyongyang,
according to two defense officials familiar with reports of the development.

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeffrey Pool declined to comment on the North Korean missile submarine program.
“We do not comment on intelligence matters, but we do urge North Korea to become more transparent in their defense sector in order to
reduce tensions in the region,” he said in a statement.

Details of the missile submarine remain closely held within the government.

Disclosure of the missile submarine work followed a recent report from North Korea showing photographs of dictator Kim Jong Un riding
in the conning tower of a rusty North Korean submarine at sea.

Military analysts expressed surprise at the intelligence on the missile submarine program and speculated the submarine could be a modification of
one of North Korea’s Russian or Chinese design Romeo-class diesel submarines.

A second possibility is that the new missile submarine is a copy or modification of a Soviet-era Golf-class missile-firing submarine purchased
by Pyongyang—ostensibly for scrap metal—in the mid-1990s.

North Korea’s current submarine force includes around 70 submarines.
Most of the vessels are older diesel submarines, including 22 Romeo-class or
Chinese design Type-031 subs—the type of submarine Kim was photographed on in June.

The majority of the North’s submarines, more than two dozen, are small, Sango-class mini-submarines used for covert commando operations
to infiltrate South Korea during a conflict.
The North Koreans also have four 1940s-design Whiskey-class submarines from Russia.

North Korea’s use of submarine warfare was evident as recently as 2010, when it carried out a torpedo attack on
South Korea’s Choenan costal warship, killing 46 sailors.

A North Korean mini-submarine is suspected in that attack. North Korea denied it was behind the strike.

Additionally, U.S. intelligence agencies believe North Korea already has submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).

The North covertly obtained several SS-N-6 SLBMs from Russia.
The missile has been adapted into North Korea’s new intermediate-range missiles.

Until the recent discovery of the modified submarine, there were no intelligence signs North Korea is interested in developing
its own submarine-launched missiles.

Pyongyang is one of the largest producers and exporters of ballistic missiles in the world, and makes several types of short-range Scuds,
medium-range Nodongs, Musudan intermediate range missiles, and long-range Taepodongs.

Its missile arsenal is estimated to include between 600 and 1,000 missiles.

If the modified submarine is based on the Golf, it is likely the technology or
actual missile tubes were derived from the decommissioned submarines obtained in the mid-1990s.

The authoritative Jane’s’ Fighting Ships revealed in May 1994 that North Korea purchased 40 decommissioned submarines from Russia,
including several Golf-class and Romeo-class submarines.

Former British Navy Capt. Richard Sharpe,
stated in the foreword to the 1994 publication that the Golf submarine sale raised concerns about their missile capabilities.

It is “possible that the missile tubes may be adaptable for other weapons,” including ballistic missiles, he stated.

Rick Fisher, a military analyst, said he suspects one of the Golf-class submarines obtained by the North Koreans included
one or more SS-N-6 missiles in its launch tubes as part of the deal.

North Korea then may have used the past 20 years to reverse-engineer a version of the Golf,
which was designed to carry up to three ballistic missiles, Fisher said.

“In North Korean service, a Golf-size ballistic missile-carrying submarine could potentially carry two Musudan-size liquid-fueled missiles or
 a larger number of long-range cruise missiles,” he said.

If the missile submarine development is confirmed,
it would mean North Korea could use one of its submarine missiles to attack Anchorage from waters near Russia’s Sakhalin Island.

Another potential target for the North Korean missile submarine could be U.S. forces on Okinawa, Philippines, or Guam from the Yellow Sea.

The missile could have a range of between 1,500 and 2,500 miles.

Eric Wertheim, an analyst at the U.S. Naval Institute, said he is skeptical North Korea could develop missile firing submarines,
either indigenously or by copying or refurbishing a Golf.

“There are very many hurdles that would need to be overcome for North Korea to develop an SLBM and turn a diesel submarine
into an operational platform able to launch guided SLBMs,”
Wertheim said in an email.

“If not a Golf class, launch of SLBMs would probably require another large class of submarine and
most recent North Korean submarine production seems to have focused on smaller subs or less than 1,000 tons,” he added.

A former intelligence analyst also said North Korea’s refurbishing of the Golf subs would be very difficult,
and that the North Koreans would need satellite navigation for the missile.

South Korea press reports,
however, have indicated recently that China is sharing its Beidou satellite navigation technology with North Korea.

A 2009 State Department cable made public by Wikileaks revealed that North Korea developed
a new land-mobile intermediate-range missile based on the SS-N-6 SLBM.

The missile was deployed on Russia’s Golf submarines, indicating that the Golf missile tubes could be used or
copied for the new North Korean missile submarine or as launch tubes on a converted submarine.

A modified SS-N-6 engine was used to build what is now called North Korea’s road-mobile Musudan missiles.

“Development of the Musudan with this more advanced propulsion technology allows North Korea to build even longer-range missiles—or
shorter range missiles with greater payload capacity—than would be possible using Scud-type technology,”

the cable on North Korean missile development stated.

A second 2011 cable revealed that North Korea shared the SS-N-6 missile technology with Iran for use in its Safir missile.

The cable said
“the second-stage of the Safir utilizes steering engines that are almost certainly
derived from the Soviet-era SS-N-6 (Soviet designation: R-27 or RSM- 25) submarine-launched ballistic missile.”

“U.S. information was clear that Iran purchased these [missiles] from North Korea
and that its technology was far more advanced than SCUD technology,”
a third cable from 2007 said.

That cable quoted Russian officials, in talks with U.S. officials, denying any SS-N-6 missiles were sold to North Korea,
claiming all were destroyed as part of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty,
which the State Department recently said was violated by Moscow through development of a new cruise missile.

Additionally, the Russians in 2007 said North Korea and Iran could not master the technology of the SS-N-6.
“The Russians argued that the technology was customized for underwater use;
and that the missile would not work without the water pressure at specific depths,” the cable said.

Fisher said another possible source for North Korea’s submarine-launched missile program is China,
which has produced a version of the Golf known as the Type-031 and which was used until 2013 as an SLBM test platform.

“Given China’s habit of assisting North Korea to obtain earlier generation strategic weapons, the chances are greater that
China would have aided North Korea’s rebuilding of the scrap Soviet Golf class submarines,”

Fisher said.
“Chinese assistance would have been crucial for North Korea to rebuild the pressure hull,
 missile tubes and to equip the sub with modern command and control systems.”

Fisher noted covert Chinese missile assistance in the past to North Korea’s KN-08 long-range missile,
specifically the transfer of Chinese-made transporter-erector launchers.

“The emergence of a North Korean ballistic missile carrying submarine raises many questions for U.S. strategy and force levels in Asia,”
Fisher said.

“Should it now be considered a great error for the Obama administration to have retired and
dismantled U.S. nuclear-armed cruise missiles for U.S. submarines in 2010?”

A missile-firing North Korean submarine also will require increased U.S. and Japanese anti-submarine warfare forces,
he said. “Both will have to consider an additional number of submarines to check North Korea,” Fisher said.

Another concern is that North Korea will share or export missile-firing submarines in the future to Iran.

North Korea cooperated with Iran on submarine training in the past.

承认独岛为韩国领土的日本政府地图首度公开

韩联社首尔8月24日电 韩国东北亚历史财团独岛研究所24日表示，
独岛问题研究者郑泰满（59岁）日前在学术会议上公开了日本政府1951年绘制的“日本领域参考图”的扫描文件。
该地图证明，二战后划定日本领土的《对日和平条约》（《旧金山和约》）签订时，
独岛被标记为韩国领土，这与主张独岛是日本领土的安倍政府防卫白皮书大相径庭。

这份地图由日本海上保安厅绘制于《旧金山条约》签订前的1951年8月，
同年10月签订条约时日本国会将地图作为附本提交。
虽然日本右翼一直主张这份地图上将独岛标记为日本领土，
但日本方面的研究者至今没有公开地图。郑泰满表示，这份地图说明当时日本与联合国都承认独岛是韩国领土。

郑泰满在撰写论文期间浏览了日本右翼人士的主页。
该人士主张，根据日本国会图书馆提供的“日本领域参考图”，独岛是日本领土。
但郑泰满发现在这份地图扫描文件上，独岛在划定日本领土的半圆之外，那么显而易见独岛不是日本领土。
之后郑泰满获实地图在《旧金山条约》签订时被作为附本提交，且日本国会图书馆所提供的版本与原本一致。

郑泰满的论文指导教授——檀国大学社会学教授文喆永表示，日方应当是因为该地图不利于举证独岛是日本领土，
因此一直没有公开《日本领域参考图》。
韩国前独岛调查研究学会会长罗洪柱则强调，签订条约时提供地图为附本，
表示当时根据国际法，日本政府和国会都承认独岛是韩国领土。

كشف النقاب عن خارطة للحكومة اليابانية تعترف بملكية كوريا لجزر دوكدو

خارطة يابانية مستخدمة لابرام اتفاقية السلام لليابان عقب انتهاء الحرب العالمية الثانية.

سيئول، 24 أغسطس(يونهاب) -- كشف النقاب عن خارطة مستخدمة من قبل الحكومة اليابانية اعترفت فيها اليابان بأن جزر دوكدو جزء من كوريا الجنوبية وذلك عندما وقعت اليابان على اتفاقية السلام والتي رسمت الحدود الأرضية اليابانية نتيجة للحرب العالمية الثانية .

هذا ما يثبت أن تحرك حكومة رئيس الوزراء الياباني آبي شينجو الداعم لمزاعم ملكية جزر دوكدو الواقعة أقصى شرق كوريا من خلال إصدار التقرير الدفاعي السنوي، هي قائمة على العناد لا غير .

وكشف الباحث جونغ تيه مان في مكتب دراسة جزر دوكدو التابع لصندوق تاريخ شمال شرق آسيا اليوم الأحد، النقاب عن " خارطة الأراضي اليابانية " في ندوة انعقدت اليوم في المعهد.

وتم تقديم الخارطة التي أعدها قسم الطريق البحري التابع لإدارة الأمن البحري الياباني في أغسطس عام 1951م إلى البرلمان الياباني لاعتمادها قبل شهر واحد من عقد معاهدة السلام اليابانية الموقع بين اليابان وقوات الأمم المتحدة بعد انتهاء الحرب العالمة الثانية.

وظل بعض اليابانيين اليمينيين يزعمون بأن الخارطة المعنية تصف جزر دوكدو ضمن الاراضي اليابانية، غير انهم لم يكشفوا النقاب عنها حتى الآن.

غير ان الخارطة التي كشف عنها جونغ توضح أن جزر دوكدو هي خارج الأراضي اليابانية بصورة واضحة.

وتم العثور على الخارطة من خلال زيارة الموقع الكتروني لأحد اليابانيين اليمينيين والذي يبدو أنه حمل الخارطة على الموقع بالخطأ أو نتيجة لعدم التدقيق في الخط الفاصل الذي يمر بجانب الجزر.

وقال رئيس معهد دارسة الجزر دوكدو إن المهم هو أن الخارطة مستخدمة عند عقد اتفاقية دولية، ما يشير الى أن الحكومة اليابانية وبرلمانها قد اعترفا عالميا بأن جزر دوكدو أراضي كورية.

Se revela un mapa japonés que describe a Dokdo como territorio coreano

Se ha revelado, por primera vez en la historia,
un mapa que fue elaborado por el Gobierno japonés en el momento en que fue firmado un tratado
de paz con las fuerzas aliadas tras su derrota en la Segunda Guerra Mundial,
describiendo a los islotes de Dokdo como territorio coreano.

La versión escaneada del mapa japonés obtenida por Chung Tae-man,
un investigador sobre los islotes,
se presentó recientemente en una conferencia académica, según informó este domingo el Instituto de Investigación de Dokdo.

El mapa japonés, conocido como el mapa de referencia del territorio de Japón, fue elaborado por el Gobierno japonés en agosto de 1951,
un mes antes de que Japón firmara el Tratado de San Francisco,
y fue presentado como un mapa anexo al Parlamento japonés en octubre del mismo año cuando éste ratificó dicho tratado.

El mapa revelado excluye claramente a Dokdo del territorio japonés, marcando un hemiciclo alrededor de los islotes.


"Japón ha insistido en que el Tratado de San Francisco no describe a Dokdo como terriorio coreano,
sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta el mapa, en aquel entonces el Gobierno japonés
y las fuerzas aliadas reconocían que los islotes pertenecen a la península coreana", dijo Chung.

Seúl, 24 de agosto (Yonhap)

Un vieux plan du gouvernement japonais décrit les îlots de Dokdo comme coréens

Un vieux plan dressé par le gouvernement japonais en 1951, décrivant les îlots de Dokdo comme faisant partie clairement du territoire coréen,
a été dévoilé ce dimanche pour la première fois.

Ce plan a en effet été déposé au Parlement du Japon pour la ratification du traité de San Francisco ou traité de paix avec le Japon,
qui a défini les frontières légales du territoire japonais à l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Chung Tae-man, spécialiste des études sur Dokdo,
a rendu public aujourd’hui le plan de référence sur le territoire japonais à un séminaire qui a eu lieu à l'Institut de recherche sur Dokdo.

Sur la carte, un demi-cercle dessiné près des îlots de Dokdo exclut clairement ces îlots du territoire japonais.

«Le Japon a revendiqué jusqu'à maintenant que "le traité de paix avec le Japon ne dit pas que Dokdo est un territoire coréen"
mais cette carte montre que le Japon et les Etats alliés ont tous reconnu le fait que Dokdo fait partie du territoire coréen», a déclaré Chung.

Certains membres de l'extrême droite japonaise prétendent que cette carte indique que les îlots de Dokdo
font partie de leur territoire mais les chercheurs japonais ne l'ont pas encore dévoilée au public.

Chung a trouvé cette carte paradoxalement sur le site Internet d’un groupe japonais qui revendique la souveraineté sur Dokdo,
qui avait mis en ligne ce document problématique sur lequel une ligne en pointillés définit le territoire japonais tout en excluant de manière évidente Dokdo.

Chung a vérifié le fait que cette carte a fait partie d’un plan déposé au Parlement japonais comme une référence lors
de la ratification du traité de San Francisco et aussi le fait que le gouvernement japonais et
son Parlement de l'époque ont reconnu les îlots de Dokdo comme faisant partie intégrante du territoire coréen selon la loi internationale.

独島を韓国領土と認めた日本地図公開＝韓国財団

日本政府が独島を韓国領土と表記した地図が韓国でまた公開された。
韓国の北東アジア歴史財団・独島研究所によると、独島研究家のチョン・テマン氏は先ごろ、
同財団で行われた学術懇談会で「日本領域参考図」をスキャンしたファイルを公開した。

日本領域参考図は第２次世界大戦の終結後、
日本が連合国と対日講和条約（サンフランシスコ講和条約）を締結する直前の１９５１年８月に海上保安庁が作成した地図。
同年１０月に日本国会が条約を批准する際に付属地図として提出された。

日本の一部勢力は同地図が独島を日本領土と表記していると主張しているが、
日本側研究者らはこれまで一度も同地図を公開していない。

今回公開された地図をみると、独島の右側に曲線が引かれており、
独島は日本領土から除外されている。

地図を公開したチョン氏は「これまで日本は対日講和条約が独島を韓国領土と明示していないと領有権を主張してきたが、
この地図をみると、当時日本と連合国いずれも独島を韓国領土と認めている」と強調した。

地図を入手した経緯も興味深い。

チョン氏は博士学位の論文作成のために資料を収集する過程で、「日本領域参考図によると、
竹島（独島の日本名）は日本領土であることが明確だ」と主張する日本のウェブサイトを見つけた。

同サイトは竹島問題研究会を通じ、国立国会図書館から入手した資料と説明し、スキャンした日本領域参考図を掲載している。

しかし、チョン氏が確認した結果、地図は独島を韓国領土と表記していた。
日本語と英語になっている独島の名称表記が韓国領土であることを示す曲線に重なっているものの、明確に確認できた。

チョン氏は日本領域参考図が対日講和条約を批准する際に付属地図として使われた事実を当時の日本国会会議録で確認した。
また、日本のサイトに掲載された日本領域参考図が原本と一致することも国会図書館で確認した。

羅洪柱（ナ・ホンジュ）元独島調査研究学会長は「同地図が条約を批准する際に付属地図として使われた事実がさらに重要だ。
これは当時の日本政府と国会が国際法的に独島を韓国領土と認めたことを意味する」と強調した。

Chinese supersonic submarine-Shanghai to San Francisco in 100 minutes

China has moved a step closer to creating a supersonic submarine that could travel from Shanghai to San Francisco in less than two hours.

New technology developed by a team of scientists at Harbin Institute of Technology's Complex Flow and Heat Transfer Lab
has made it easier for a submarine, or torpedo, to travel at extremely high speeds underwater.

Li Fengchen, professor of fluid machinery and engineering, said
the team's innovative approach meant they could now create the complicated air "bubble" required for rapid underwater travel.
"We are very excited by its potential," he said.

Water produces more friction, or drag, on an object than air, which means conventional submarines cannot travel as fast as an aircraft.

However, during the cold war, the Soviet military developed a technology called supercavitation,
which involves enveloping a submerged vessel inside an air bubble to avoid problems caused by water drag.

A Soviet supercavitation torpedo called Shakval was able to reach a speed of 370km/h
or more - much faster than any other conventional torpedoes.

In theory, a supercavitating vessel could reach the speed of sound underwater, or about 5,800km/h,
which would reduce the journey time for a transatlantic underwater cruise to less than
an hour, and for a transpacific journey to about 100 minutes, according to a report by California Institute of Technology in 2001.

However, supercavitation technology has faced two major problems.
First, the submerged vessel has needed to be launched at high speeds, approaching 100km/h, to generate and maintain the air bubble.

Second, it is extremely difficult - if not impossible - to steer the vessel using conventional mechanisms, such as a rudder,
which are inside the bubble without any direct contact with water.

As a result, its application has been limited to unmanned vessels,
such as torpedoes, but nearly all of these torpedoes were fired in a straight line
because they had limited ability to turn.

Li said the team of Chinese scientists had found an innovative means of
addressing both problems.

Once in the water, the team's supercavitation vessel would constantly "shower"
a special liquid membrane on its own surface.

Although this membrane would be worn off by water, in the meantime it could significantly reduce the water drag on the vessel at low speed.

After its speed had reached 75km/h or more the vessel would enter the supercavitation state.
The man-made liquid membrane on the vessel surface could help with steering because,
with precise control, different levels of friction could be created on different parts of the vessel.

"Our method is different from any other approach, such as vector propulsion,"
or thrust created by an engine, Li said.
"By combining liquid-membrane technology with supercavitation, we can significantly reduce the launch challenges and make cruising control easier."

However, Li said many problems still needed to be solved before supersonic submarine travel became feasible.
Besides the control issue, a powerful underwater rocket engine still had to be developed to give the vessel a longer range.

The effective range of the Russian supercavitation torpedoes, for example, was only between 11 km and 15 km.

Li said the supercavitation technology was not limited only to military use.
In future, it could benefit civilian underwater transport, or water sports such as swimming.
"If a swimsuit can create and hold many tiny bubbles in water, it can significantly reduce the water drag;
swimming in water could be as effortless as flying in the sky," he said.

Besides Russia, countries such as Germany, Iran and the United States have been developing vessels or weapons using supercavitation technology.

Professor Wang Guoyu, the head of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Beijing Institute of Technology
who is leading another state-funded research project on supercavitation, said
the global research community had been troubled for decades by the lack of innovative ideas to address the huge scientific and
engineering challenges.

"The size of the bubble is difficult to control, and the vessel is almost impossible to steer," he said.
While cruising at high speed during supercavitation, a fin could be snapped off if it touched the water because of the liquid's far greater density.

Despite many scientists worldwide working on similar projects, the latest progress remains unclear because they are regarded as military secrets.

Wang, a member of the water armament committee of the China Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, said
even he had been kept in the dark about recent supercavitation developments in China.

"The primary drive still comes from the military, so most research projects are shrouded in secrecy," he said.

にほん政府せいふ、ASEAN諸国しょこくを相手あいてに兵器へいき販売はんばい

日本(にほん)政府(せいふ)、ASEAN諸国(しょこく)を相手(あいて)に兵器(へいき)販売(はんばい)


日本(にほん)政府(せいふ)は2014年(ねん)9月(がつ)に東南(とうなん)アジア諸国(しょこく)連合(れんごう)(アセアン)加盟(かめい)国(こく)の外交(がいこう)・国防(こくぼう)当局(とうきょく)者(しゃ)らを東京(とうきょう)に呼(よ)び、
アセアン各国(かっこく)の防衛(ぼうえい)力(りょく)の強化(きょうか)と関連(かんれん)したセミナーを開催(かいさい)すると日本(にほん)経済(けいざい)新聞(しんぶん)(日経(にっけい))が2014年(ねん)8月(がつ)22日(にち)報道(ほうどう)した。

東南(とうなん)アジア諸国(しょこく)の海洋(かいよう)安全(あんぜん)保障(ほしょう)と災難(さいなん)救護(きゅうご)などを議題(ぎだい)とする同(どう)セミナで 日本(にほん)政府(せいふ)は防衛(ぼうえい)装備(そうび)の輸出(ゆしゅつ)促進(そくしん)を模索(もさく)すると日経(にっけい)新聞(しんぶん)は伝(つた)えた。

日本(にほん)側(がわ)は自国(じこく)船舶(せんぱく)、航空(こうくう)機(き)などの性能(せいのう)と輸出(ゆしゅつ)政策(せいさく)などを紹介(しょうかい)して各国(かっこく)の要求(ようきゅう)を聞(き)く予定(よてい)だ。

​名称(めいしょう)はセミナーだが、本質(ほんしつ)は、兵器(へいき)輸出(ゆしゅつ)のための販促(はんそく)行事(ぎょうじ)なのだ。

日本(にほん)は中国(ちゅうごく)との'島(とう)の領有(りょうゆう)権(けん)'葛藤(かっとう)という共通(きょうつう)分母(ぶんぼ)を持(も)っている東南(とうなん)アジア諸国(しょこく)との連帯(れんたい)を強化(きょうか)することで、
中国(ちゅうごく)を牽制(けんせい)し、成長(せいちょう)動力(どうりょく)のひとつとしている防衛(ぼうえい)産業(さんぎょう)の'販路(はんろ)'を模索(もさく)するという腹案(ふくあん)であるものとみられる。

安倍(あべの)政府(せいふ)の二(に)重(じゅう)性(せい)を示(しめ)す行事(ぎょうじ)だと言(い)える。
外(そと)では平和(へいわ)を話(はな)しながら、内心(ないしん)は破壊(はかい)用(よう)兵器(へいき)を販売(はんばい)し、沈滞(ちんたい)された経済(けいざい)を回復(かいふく)させて政権(せいけん)を延長(えんちょう)しようという目的(もくてき)だ。

東北(とうほく)アジア国家(こっか)と日本(にほん)が経験(けいけん)している葛藤(かっとう)の根本(こんぽん)原因(げんいん)は、ほかならぬ安倍(あべの)の二(に)重(じゅう)性(せい)である。
それが現象(げんしょう)で現(あら)われるものが歴史(れきし)問題(もんだい)の葛藤(かっとう)でもある。

内(うち)と外(そと)が間違(まちが)っている人(ひと)、
安倍(あべの)首相(しゅしょう)は国民(こくみん)には民主(みんしゅ)主義(しゅぎ)信奉(しんぽう)者(しゃ)のようにだまして、内部(ないぶ)では軍国(ぐんこく)主義(しゅぎ)を志向(しこう)する者(もの)である。
その証拠(しょうこ)が'集団(しゅうだん)自衛(じえい)権(けん)'に対(たい)する憲法(けんぽう)解釈(かいしゃく)の変更(へんこう)である。

憲法(けんぽう)を解釈(かいしゃく)に変更(へんこう)することができれば、
改憲(かいけん)をするため、国民(こくみん)投票(とうひょう)をしなければならないという法律(ほうりつ)条項(じょうこう)はどうしているのだろうか!!!

日本(にほん)の民主(みんしゅ)主義(しゅぎ)は死(し)んだ。
ただ、安倍(あべの)首相(しゅしょう)の独断(どくだん)と極右(きょくう)派(は)の軍国(ぐんこく)主義(しゅぎ)、そして沈黙(ちんもく)する卑怯(ひきょう)な国民(こくみん)だけが残(のこ)っているだけだ。
