What's the origin of the Japanese people ?

What will be the next country that Chinese claim belongs to China in some way.

I just did an essay on "identity politics". What's your definition of claim? On Taiwan issues, the chairman of Taiwan National party just gave a speech in my Uni and I quite agree with his opinion: let's just remain current status, and when democracy from both reach an equilibrium level, unification is possible. The whole world is becoming smaller and smaller and I really like this word "Earth Village". Peopel need to learn to avoid extreme self-identification.We are not the most powerful being and there's no ownership to land or river. Where are these people who once created a brilliant page of their own nation? Ashes to ashes.....

How loud voice was from PRC embassy or government for his visit?
Taiwanese officials' visit has been still sensitive matter here.

By the way, this is what Jiang Zemin addressed his speech at my uni in 1998.

中国は世界最大の発展途上国で� り、いまなお社会主義 の初級段階に� ります。
PRC is the largest developping country in the world, and still the first stage of socialism.

Hope that the stage advances to 1.01 beta or something now.
