ついにIAEAが中国のデマにブチ切れ声明だしたらしい

"The natural disasters can be the God's will that the current monarch is not qualified to rule the country."
When that catastrophic earthquake happened in Tokyo, not a few Japanese commoners still believed such an old Asiatic superstition, though it had been half a century since the government's westernisation.

Hence, the Japanese monarchist power was compelled to divert people's fury from the government. As you may know, it was Korean people in Tokyo that they made as 'scapegoats' for it.
Lots of researches tell that Japanese imperial government at that time had so much to do with the circulation of the demagogy accelerating hatred against Korean residents.
They were obviously 'sacrificed' for the secure of the Emperor.
