Gyeongi-do Attempts to Have Products Made in Japan Have a War Crime Label

Here is the latest attempt by the Korean left to increase tensions with Japan and indoctrinate Korean children. Do not expect these attempts to increase tensions to stop anytime soon:

South Korea’s largest province is considering whether to stigmatize nearly 300 Japanese companies over their purported actions during World War II, by imposing an ordinance that requires schools to put alert labels on these firms’ products in their schools.

Twenty-seven members of the Gyeonggi Province council submitted the bill last week in an attempt to give students the “right understanding on history.” If passed, schools will have to place on the items stickers that say: “This product is made by a Japanese war criminal company.”
The move is likely further deepen a diplomatic spat between Seoul and Tokyo, which are at loggerheads over territorial issues and the legacy of Japan’s 35-year colonization of the Korean Peninsula (1910-1945).

The list of 299 companies includes Nikon, Panasonic and Yamaha. The rule would apply to items such as projectors, camcorders, cameras and copy machines with a price tag of 200,000 won ($190) or more. Most of the companies on the list do not commonly supply products to schools — they include Tokyo Gas, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

You can read more at the link, but maybe the Trump administration should offer a compromise to the Moon administration to reopen the Kaesong Industrial Complex only if a war crimes label is attached to every product that looks like those grotesque ads seen on cigarette boxes.
