Why China and Japan don't get along

[Chinese-Dragon]

No, buddy. The official casualty list are stated as ~50 million, mostly civilians.

Really? Do you have a source for that?

I have always read that it was around 20-30 million.

as of today, the regime in japan still refuse to publicly admit the crimes committed by its UNIT 731.

as of today, the people of japan in general refuse to acknowledge the Nanjing Massacre in which 300000 civilians and POWs were killed by the japanese army.

The level of cruelty of unit 731 far exceeded the worst Nazi offences. The worst part is that the Allies acquitted the head scientist because he provided useful biological data that he acquired by experimenting on Chinese people. If I could go back in time I'll make that jerk go through what he did to other Chinese people!

Unit 731 was a living nightmare.

To the Imperial Japanese officers, Chinese people were less than animals.

I've read some real horror stories about Unit 731, but I'm not going to post them here because they are too graphic.

You have MacArthur to thank for that and he was pretty chummy with Emperor Hirohito. Immoral on top of being an incompetent general, egomaniac and one of the worse soldiers in American history. This not just me saying this.

That poster should have known that it was America which invaded Japan. Japan did not invade America.

This poor dude forgets Pearl Harbor history....

If these Japanese "ultra-nationalists" hate China so much, they should stop using our Han characters to write their language, and they should also stop using chopsticks.

It was kind of destined to happen one way or another; Japan was against Britain and France, while US was more allied towards them. It just seems that eventually the two giants would collide.

BTW, it was after US stopped supplying Japan with oil but kept on giving the Allied Powers enormous amount of supplies that Japan attacked.

The Chinese civil war was occuring at the time. Both sides were too busy fighting for control of China than seeking proper reparation for the suffering of the Chinese people. I believe that both the CCP and the KMT should shoulder the responsibility for this equally.

Ultra-nationalists like these probably thinks that Japan invented Chinese characters and chopsticks and exported them to the "inferior" China. Funny how he is trying to look "Western" by dying his hair.

This stuff looks rather tame to be honest. I don't think they are as strong a movement as the fengqings in China.
