 The president of the "Sankei Shimbun" Minagawa Hoshi said the corporate logo flag of the Rising Sun Flag design of the "Asahi Shimbun", which is praised for being conscientious in South Korea, never had any such issues.In response to some allegations in South Korea that the Rising Sun Flag is the same as the Nazi flag of Germany, reporter Kisaragi Hayato of "Searchina" explained the origin of the Rising Sun Flag is the Sun and "solar worship", whereas the Nazi swastika flag (hooked-cross) symbolized the "advantage of the Aryan people" from the beginning of its formation ("Hakenkreuz is a mission to fight for the Aryan victory").Furthermore, if South Korea insists that national symbols that Japan used to invade neighboring countries (in the past) should not be used at all, then South Korea should also send objections to the use of for example the British flag and the tricolor French flag ("Drapeau français"), because these were traditionally used by the European countries during European colonialism, the first wave of European colonization (1415 to 1830 CE) and New Imperialism (late 19th and early 20th centuries).
