What Are You Doing, Mr. Ban?

China held its huge military demonstration parade on 3rd September.  The event was called the 70th anniversary of the victory over Japan. At the time World War 2  ended, current communist party ruling China did not exist, though. Most major western countries did not go to the event. The absence was part of because that was apparently an anti Japan event, so they did not want to join the military show. That's normal. 

On the other hand, only South Korean president from western advanced countries went to see the parade. That's okay. The president might hate our country and wanted to obey Chinese government, but one thing I could not understand was the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's attendance. He should keep a neutral stance in politics. That's what his position must be. 

Obviously, he might want to be the next Korean president, so he wanted to show his anti Japan policy to Korean citizens because taking that stance could make him the president more easily. But he should do his own business. There are plenty of things he has to do as the U.N. Secretary General, if only he wanted to do. What do you think of that?
