TOKYO, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The newly appointed head of Japan's public
broadcaster NHK has backtracked on his recent disparaging remarks made about the
use of comfort women during World War II, but his demeaning comments have
already undermined his credibility as NHK's chairman.
With Japan embroiled in bitter rows with some of its neighboring countries
over its brutal colonial rule in some Asian countries during WWII and its
misperception and at times outright denial of the brutality inflicted on the
nations by its Imperial Forces, as well as souring diplomatic ties caused by
ongoing territorial disputes, NHK's new chairman Katsuto Momii's comments have
served to only further worsen Japan's ties in the Asia Pacific region.
Momii told a news conference to mark his appointment on Saturday that
"comfort women" existed in any country at war, not just
Japan www.cortezshoessale.com , but
also France and Germany, and blasted South Korea for continuing to call for
compensation for these women, claiming the matter had already been concluded
with the signing of a peace treaty.
Momii continued to politicize and undermine his appointment, much to the
exasperation of the global community, by stating that for him it was "puzzling"
why there remains so much international condemnation of Japan's involvement in
war-time sexual slavery.
The 70-year old former president of Nihon Unisys and a vice president of
Mitsui trading house, has no former broadcasting experience and his three-year
appointment as NHK president nike cortez

broadcaster's policies, has confounded both media analysts and the public alike.
"Japan seems to be digging itself into a large political hole at the moment
and Momii's comments have done little to help Japan' s predicament with South
Korea and China," political commentator and author Philip McNeil told Xinhua.
"Both countries, and other countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, saw
hundreds of thousands of women forcibly conscripted to work in Japanese brothels
during the war and it's no wonder calls from these countries for Momii to resign
are so vehement," McNeil said.
He went on to say that Momii's apology over the
matter nike cortez shoes sale ,
stating that he made the remarks as an individual and not as the head of NHK,
would most likely fall on deaf ears of the more than 200,000 women who were
forced to work in Japan's war-brothels.
The political commentator also pointed to a broader, conspiratorial picture
of Momii being the head of NHK, as despite NHK's revenues being derived mainly
from viewer fees, the firm's 12-member board of governors who appointed
Morri nike cortez sale , are
themselves appointed by parliament.
NHK refutes claims that it is a state broadcaster and while its board doesn't
oversee the day-to-day operations of the broadcaster, its annual budget is
subject to parliamentary approval.
"It would appear that we're seeing a clear and contrived government-led shift
in public broadcasting in Japan as NHK basically answers to parliament, which,
to a degree, equates to Momii answering to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his
administration," McNeil said.
"Japan's top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga has downplayed Momii
inflammatory
remarks Womens
Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Purple Shoes , but the new NHK chief has only
held the position for a couple of days and has already politicized his
appointment and said that he plans to tow the government line," McNeil said.
McNeill was referring to Momii also saying he had no opinion regarding Abe's
controversial visit last December to the Yasukuni war shrine, which honors 2.5
million of Japan's war dead, including 14 Class-A convicted war criminals.
Abe's visit was condemned by the global community, including the United
States, who have been calling on Japan to do its utmost to improve diplomatic
ties with its
neighbors Womens
Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Orange White Shoes , as tensions continue to
rise in the East China Sea.
However, NHK's new chairman has also stated that the broadcaster might focus
more air time on covering Japan's views on territorial disputes with both China
and South Korea, stating that he will do the government's bidding if asked,
which seriously brings the public broadcaster's pledge of neutrality,
impartiality and objective news reporting into question.
"It would not do for NHK to say left when the government says right," Momii
told a news conference when asked on the broadcaster's official programming
stance henceforth on the current territorial standoffs with China and South
Korea.
Concerns are now rife that Momii and NHK are heading towards a new
right-leaning programming
policy Womens

who has faced criticism from nationalist factions within his government for NHK
airing programs deemed to liberal.
"Working for NHK used to be one of the most credible, well- regarded media
positions possible for journalists and editors in Japan and those working
overseas," a senior Tokyo-based English- language news editor told Xinhua
speaking on condition of anonymity.
"We have always taken great pride in the fact that we are an objective source
of information for the world, unlike other institutions and news agencies whose
private revenue sources can dictate their policies," he said.
"The fact is, that in a matter of
days Womens
Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Yellow Pink Shoes , the image of NHK as ' one of
the good guys' in terms of its objective news reporting, high-quality and
wide-ranging broadcasting in Japan and beyond, has been severely damaged, and a
forced apology from a guy with no broadcasting experience is an insult not just
