I think there are various ways to arouse the Japanese people but the most important one is freedom of speech. In these few years, the people have not been afraid that they might be blamed if they spoke certain matters. They hesitated, and tried to patch up the surface, so the public mind has really become timid. We can never develop the total power of the people in this way.

Nothing is more helpful to an anthropologist than to study contrasts he finds between peoples who on the whole share many traits. No matter how bizarre his act or his opinion, the way a man feels and thinks has some relation to his experience.

可是，难道这不是周恩来的和平共处五项原则么......如果政治家的表述可以作为一个国家文化习惯的有效参考，岂不是说“平等”也是中国文化的传统了？然而我想作者大概不会认为雅尔塔体系时代的中国比日本更强调“平等”吧......所以这种引申的可靠性颇值得重新考量呢。
