New in the Digital Archive for Chinese Studies: Petition against 
Japanese Security Council Seat
http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/dachs/gross050531.htm


In September 2004, Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi announced that Japan 
would seek a permanent seat in the UN Security Council. The Global 
Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia 
(http://www.global-alliance.net/) <http://www.global-alliance.net/>, Los 
Angeles, started a campaign on the WWW asking everybody to sign a 
petition urging United Nations member states to reject Japan's bid. The 
campaign gathered momentum when more and more Chinese media outlets 
joined it in March 2005. Suddenly, the number of signatures per day rose 
steeply, hitting even one million.

The ensuing signature campaign, the news and discussion boards as well 
as numerous articles were collected and archived in DACHS. They are 
presented in form of a historical overview.


With kind regards,
