The whole China-Japan situation makes me angry and very close to hating people. It isn't pretty, it isn't nice, and it is too damn complicated for people to throw mud in any direction. But I am Chinese, and I'd be lying if I said the whole situation isn't getting to me. It is all nice to say that you can't live in the past, that you have to move on, but you can't do either when the past is not even acknowledged. So, stop making damn judgements about China when you don't have relatives who still remember the Japanese occupation. Don't make damn snipe comments about the past actions of the Chinese government when, at the present time, it is the Chinese people who are angry. And for damn sake don't compare the China-Japan situation to Germany and its treatment of the Holocaust. Japan have not acknowledged the actions of its own army during WW2. Several generations of Japanese does not know their own history because their government decided to delete a section of their history. There are people in China, in Korea, in Thailand, hell, in most of the South East Asian countries who does remember. So, please, don't make a damn judgement when all you know is that 'Japan did some bad things to other Asians during WW2.'

I'm so sick of the people who don't know anything, who have no personal investment, being all high and mighty. Forgiveness does not come from you. So, back off.

Tell me about it. Dad have been getting more and more angry at the way the Chinese government have been using this whole fiasco as a way to get popularity. The fact that they implicitly allowed riots in China against Japanese shops is disgusting (the simple act of not saying anything against is a sure sign to let it happen, though the government did finally ban public riots sometime last week.) The boycotting of Japanese products by several cities in China (except bootleg anime/manga) make me sick, and I don't even want to talk about the witch-hunt that's going on in China against any actors/singers who might have Japanese sympathies. It is beginning to feel like a popularity contest than anything else.

That's the other thing that gets to me, I can see where the victim complex comes from, and I can understand it but to view themselves as nothing but victims, the complete and utter denial of facts makes me want to gnaw my own hands off. Voters, oh definitely, voters. Democracy and all that.

At least this time America didn't actively do anything. I just want China and Japan to get a grip. Face reality and try and get over it.
