If one is patriotic and loyal to their own nation, do they have an inherent responsibility to reconcile with past injustices of their past compatriots?
Where do assimilated immigrants and foreigners stand? Is it just and economically sustainable to pardon victims with repatriation for every crime? Are there exclusions and exceptions for those who are recluse and nonparticipant? Must we civilly sue each other as a way to maintain an integral society?
Can past injustices such as cruel treatment during the occupying of Manchuria by the Japanese, be ever forgiven? Wouldn't repatriation serving as a bribe, simply insult the victim? Does it only aid to clearing the conscience of the murder? Is repatriation a way of clearing the past sins for embracing a nation's economic fruition and sorrows amongst the victims?
Does this only serve as a mechanism to enable further acts of crime? Isn't it to say that recalling thousands of Ford Pintos, due to the small chance of an explosion of faulty fuel tanks, not worthwhile, because the cost-benefit analysis deems it so? Ford says it's cost-beneficial to repatriate, only when justice is brought against them. Does this deem Ford immoral?
England still hold very much of accumulated wealth, in addition to the economic uplift from their colonizing endeavors of past centuries. Should there be a ceremony and celebration when the England transferred the sovereignty of Hong Kong back to the People's Republic of China, in 1996, despite the history of the opium wars?
How does one about the event of victim refusing repatriation? Is it ever just for China to seek retaliation? An eye for an eye?
It's arguable to say that we're not always a collective human whole, when it comes to loyalty? Do we only serve loyalty amongst our six-degree of separation first, before others? What if one has no extended, nor a nuclear family? Is it perhaps, we only sincerely owe loyalty to ourselves?
