I had my first real, full hour long presentation in Japanese today, on the topic of the Hanjian (traitor) trials in postwar China. I was so nervous but I think it went alright. I’m now exhausted.
I set up several research forums for those doing research on various areas of East Asian history. Among others, there is a forum for discussion of the Sino-Japanese War and forums for the study of the colonial history of Korea and Taiwan etc.
I also included a number of forums on postwar issues, such as postwar Sino-Japanese relations and War and Memory
I hope some of my friends begin posting on the site and encourage others to participate.
