Get rid of the French permanent seat! edition.cnn.com And what's with these UN fools? The U.N. chief has called for a decision to be made by September on how to reshape the council. Chinese officials have suggested that time frame is not possible. 6 months is not enough time for the UN to make a decision about its own organization? Gimme a break! Where do these Chinese get the gall? They can't even organize themselves enough to let their own people vote.

Japan's leaders have so far apologized to China on no fewer than 17 occasions since the two nations restored diplomatic ties in 1972, according to The Economist Global Agenda. Japan is now also widely regarded as a model nation -- a pacificist democracy that donates large sums of money to the United Nations and the World Bank.
