    Default Japan deliberately invented term for "annexation" to conceal imperialism: memoir

    SEOUL, Aug. 17 (Yonhap) -- Japan deliberately created the official term for "annexation" before it colonized Korea a century ago in order to conceal its imperialistic intentions, the memoir of a former Japanese official showed Tuesday.

    According to a copy of the memoir by Tetsukichi Kurachi, a former secretary at the Foreign Ministry, obtained by the Yonhap News Agency, Japan mulled over several terms to define Japan's takeover of Korea before Kurachi came up with "heigo," or annexation.

    Good thing China already had the word by the time they invaded Tibet, not like those Procrastinating Japanese.

    I don't think the purpose was to conceal imperialistic intentions as annexation is a form of imperialism in itself. Just a 'nice' way to say it, I suppose.

    Incorporate your own community into a town to avoid being annexed.
