SDHF Newsletter No. 26: Truth about the Annexation of Korea

Posted on 15/06/2015

July 23, 2010

The Japanese annexation of Korea was conducted just one hundred years ago with
reasons fully in-line with the circumstances at that time. This is clearly
vindicated by the fact that there were no countries that criticized the annexation,
to say nothing of raising any objections.
However, Koreans are still criticizing Japan for it, claiming that the
“36 years of Imperial Japanese rule” brought on the “seven deprivations”
(king, sovereignty, human life, land, resources, language and personal name).
Mr. Ko Bunyu (Huang Wengxing), a great Taiwan-born writer and historian, refutes
this view, rather, based on his comprehensive listing of the historical facts,
that Japanese rule brought about the “seven benefits” for the Korean people,.
Especially noteworthy is that the Japanese government financially supported
Korea to the tune of around 20% of Korea’s annual budget through 36 years of its
rule. It should be concluded that it was not Korea which was exploited, rather,
Japan was heavily exploited by its annexation of Korea. Mr. Ko’s paper will
fully convince you of this conclusion.
