To be honest, some of the old propaganda posters in pre-WW2 Japan was rather sympathetic to the Socialist Agenda, namely emphasis on the rights and empowerment of the Proletariat. Kind of reveals the spirit of the message of the old German movie from 1927 called "Metropolis".


An example;

Yes. Actually, prior to the eruption of the Sino Japanese War in 1937, Japan was experiencing a growing civil unrest; the government officials were being assassinated, the growing number of unemployed people were claiming for a reform of the agricultural system, as well as a reform for the industrialization that was happening. One of the reasons why the military took over government was because the parliamentary system in Japan was unable to address these concerns, and the military feared the eruption of a communist civil war in the country. After 1936, political thinkers in Japan who had sympathetic views towards communism and socialism were persecuted, executed or assassinated.Interestingly enough, throughout the war, Japanese military were still actively persecuting communist sympathizers. Crazy, no?

Then the war erupted. Some would even argue that the war was started to divert the attention of the working class to a new "foreign concern". But that's subject to another debate in another thread. lol.

To this day, communism is present in Japan. There is even a communist party in the Japanese Parliament with considerable number of Councilors and Representatives.

Thank for your popularization or some history background. Interesting, but I remember JCP has fewer seats in your parliament.

They are a minority party who are growing in influence even as we speak. Communism or the socialist theory has always been popular in post-industrial Japan.

Anyways, for you to read:


Japanese Communist Party secures a total of 100 prefectural assembly seats - UPI.com


ps. In Japan we do not repress communists or jail them as what the South Koreans do. They are , by constitutional law, allowed to take part in municipal , prefecturial and legislative elections.

Chinese company purchases the ‪Segway‬

The Segway, the iconic two-wheeled electric transport device, may soon be a common sight on ‪#‎China‬’s streets.

U.S. based firm Segway Inc. has been sold to rival Chinese company ‪#‎Ninebot‬, according to a press conference on Wednesday.

Chief Executive of Ninebot, Gao Lufeng, did not disclose the amount used to purchase its competitor, but said that ‪#‎Xiaomi‬ Corp, Sequoia Capital and two other firms had invested US$80 million in Ninebot this month.

Gao said the purchase included all of Segway's assets, including the patents.

The deal may come as a surprise to some after Segway accused Ninebot and several other companies of duplicating their product last September.

But Segway President Rod Keller said he welcomed the agreement, calling it a move that would benefit customers.

Ninebot is a crowd-funded Beijing-based firm that makes two-wheeled vehicles similar to the Segway. It was officially founded in 2012 and now has products available in more than 60 countries.

How come PRC members always held on to this same exact view? :disagree:

If you still insist that north VN is pro-China and South VN is anti-China, then let me remind you this:

There were 2 riots that occurred in VN, one in the South and another one near the North. The riots in the South had no fatality. The other one had +5 Chinese nationals killed.

You still insist that North VN is pro-China? The most anti-Chinese are the northerners. There are no infighting inside the VCP like the CCP. All the top level VCP members are anti-China. The VCP GS made the visit to China because he was invited by Xi, his main focus has always been on the later visit to the US.

What's common Vietnamese impression about China? They hate us? :what::devil:

Before 2009, surveys usually indicate that >70% had positive view about China. After 2009 (i.e. after incidents like cutting survey ship cables, ramming fishermen, oil rig skirmish, etc.), the rating has gone down to a single digit at one time.

Like I said before, the hate is political. Which means that, North VN is the most anti-China because they are the most politically minded out of the whole country. The politicians are anti-China.
