Answer 1

For historical reaons unclear to me, the Chosen Soren (the "non-governmental" North Korean Assn) has represented a substantial portion of the ethnic Koreans in Japan. In other words, these ethnic Koreans have chosen to affiliate with the North rather than the South.

A third state cannot force the nationality of a first state to those whom a second state consider its nationals.

Japan does not easily grant its nationality to ethnic Koreans, nor to the children born in Japan to ethnic Koreans.

Essentially the problem arises from (1) Japanese national exclusiveness and the unwillingness of many Japanese to marry Koreans; (2) Japan's sorry, in fact more than sorry -- nasty and vicious -- imperial past; and (3) the inability or unwillingness of the Koreans and their offspring now in Japan to leave. (And why should they? Their ancesters were brought there during WW II as slave labor, or otherwise involuntarily. Compare the Turks in Germany whose ancestors were recruited for factory jobs after WW II, when so many German workers had died in the war. And also the pre-reversion two German (FRG/GDR) nationalities.)

Answer 2

North Korean residents of Japan can't help where they are from. At the end of WW2 Korean residents of Japan (who had been forced to live in Japan in many cases) were granted the status of victors. After all, it made no sense for the occupation force to treat the Koreans the same as the vanquished Japanese. When the Korean penisula was divided in two, Korean residents of Japan were divided into two factions based on their place of origin on the peninsula. I doubt very many North Korean residents of Japan actually like the Kim Jongi-ll regime, but they have to play the role to protect their relatives who are still in North Korea.

Answer 3

Koreans born in Japan are not Japanese citizens, at least not automatically. Though they are essentially Japanese in every way but actual ancestry, they are considered to be foreign residents.

Thus, their nationality is based on wherever their family registry is -- and for a lot of them, that places them as North Korean citizens.

Other nationalities have schools in Japan, and there are Japanese schools in other countries. So ... the Koreans in Japan who are officially North Koreans get to have them to. That's just the way of it.

The Japanese gov at that time had some kind of guilt-complex that they had colonized Korea at WW2 era. In addition in that country there were two main sub stream of liberal-conservative conflict . The conservative LDP was fully supported by the US , another camp by communist Russia & China.
The then governner of Tokio metroplitan Gov , Minobe , a prominent scholar from liberal camp ,was pro-communist was widely well known fact .It was he who gave legal green light to establishing N-Korean school n Japanese soil.

Answer 5

Why does the U.S. Government allow China ( a Communist country) to buy land, buildings in the U.S., establish Chinese schools, and bring interns into the U.S. to teach in U.S. public schools?

Many U.S. schools send students to China on "cultural" exchanges every year. These same schools accept interns from China to teach Chinese culture and language to U. S. students. The U. S. Government provides visas to Chinese students to visit, observe, live with, and attend our schools and universities.

China is becoming a powerful economic global force. Many U.S., European, and Asian corporations have financial ties to China. America, be alert!
