Certainly some of the outraged reaction by Japan’s neighbors is of questionable sincerity. South Koreans have often failed to acknowledge the number and intensity of statements about comfort women (who were forced to provide sexual services to Japanese soldiers) and the amount of compensation on offer.
当然，日本邻国的某些愤怒反应真诚与否尚有待商榷。韩国无法明确慰安妇（被迫为日军提供性服务女性）数量及问题的严重性，也没有明确公布目前的拟定赔偿。而中国则定期利用民族主义情绪转移对国内问题的注意力，宣布在东中国海其公认领空以外划定防空识别区，由此在某种程度上鼓励了安倍近来的嚣张态度。中国划定航空识别区的行为虽然并不违法，但在日本看来无疑属挑衅性质。
