NHK should be fair and balanced!

Mal-editing of the interview should be corrected!

An old Taiwanese gentleman was interviewed by NHK on the Japanese rule period.
He said a lot of good things as well as bad things. But when broadcasting,
his words were miserably cut and pasted and his saying was changed from
what he wanted to. He said his interview was mal-edited by NHK.

Correct wrong caption on human zoos!

NHK said that the exhibition of Taiwanese native people were called human
zooat the exhibition in London, and the people were treated like animals.
But the fact is different, and even the term human zoo had not been used
until French human rights activists dubbed the term very recently.

In general, the documentary seemed to be presented under the view of
Republic Chinas history stance. Unjustified terms like Japanese-Taiwan War,
overly biased explanation on language spoken in Taiwan on pre-colonial era, etc.
Many details were carefully edited for Chinas favor.

So why we protest?
Are we imperialist who wants to expand Japanese soil?
We are NOT!

We are pro-democratic ordinary people who worry independence of broadcasting
in our country.
What if some other country gives an influence on the contents of the documentary
for downplaying friendship between Taiwan and Japan?
What if those influence lead Taiwan to non-democratic society?
And what if there is any aim to control our country, and what if the media control
is against freedom and democracy in Japan?
Actually the demonstrations held before were never reported on major Japanese
news papers despite over 1000 people participations which you might not
imagine such a thing occur in Japan. Why on earth such neglect by all of the
media happened.

Is NHK under Republic Chinas control?
NHK should clarify the question.

The reaction from NHK to our protest is so far unbelievable terrible_
Their rejection against holding open hearings, pointless answers to the
open letter from LDP diet members, blunt attitude to the question from
many viewers and so on.

  • Not quite sure what good is to come of recognising Taiwan independence when the population there revoked their Japanese citizenship decades ago.

    Is it acceptable for Taiwanese today to ask Japanese political support today at the expense of relations with Japan's #1 trade partner?

    Get real.

  • ""It may give viewers the impression that anti-Japan sentiment remains strong in Taiwan," said Usui, a specialist in media studies. "[The producers'] lack of consideration in this area has given politicians an opening to become involved, which is regrettable."

    Even some members of the Board of Governors, NHK's supreme decision-making body, have expressed concern, saying NHK "should deal with the issue sincerely as its accountability as a broadcaster is being questioned."

  • "[Protesters] should judge whether multilateral views are being represented by examining all the programs we broadcast, not by focusing on a single episode," Hyuga said.

    Tokyo University of Technology Prof. Hiroyoshi Usui weighed in on the opposite side, saying the program made him uncomfortable because it did not show the positive elements of Japanese rule.

  • A group of lawmakers from the Liberal Democratic Party, led by former Construction and Transport Minister Nariaki Nakayama, has also sent questions regarding the program to NHK in writing.

    "It is not possible to give equal coverage to every facet [of an issue] in just one program," said Hidemi Hyuga , executive director general of NHK's General Broadcasting Administration. "That also would not give a clear representation of the overall picture [of the issue]."

  • "We stand by our previous assertion that the content of the program is not lopsided," NHK President Shigeo Fukuchi said during a regular press conference Thursday.

    Beginning May 16, members of local government assemblies and other people have organized protest rallies in Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. About 1,100 people participated in a Tokyo rally Saturday, during which some protesters were stopped by police after they entered NHK premises in Shibuya Ward.

  • "[The program] was produced from a historical perspective under which Japan unilaterally oppressed the Taiwanese," the letter said.

    The association is demanding that NHK revise the program and air a special show to apologize. NHK has given no indication that it will do so, however, insisting that the program did not contradict the facts.

  • The program's content was compiled from the testimony of people familiar with the period and information gleaned from various documents, including those compiled by the then Government-General of Formosa.

    However, the Friends of Lee Teng-hui Association in Japan--a Tokyo-based Japan-Taiwan friendship organization--submitted a letter of protest to NHK dated April 9 in which they claimed that the show's producers manipulated Taiwanese people's comments to suit their own agenda for the program.
