How dare they compare the Japanese army’s 14-year crimes of burning, killing, and looting in China with the atomic bomb in just a few seconds? This completely ignores the prolonged cumulative nature of the war. This dumb and evil tweet got 110k likes that shows how brainwashed the current generation of Japanese people are.
Imagine bringing a Nazi flag to the World Cup. That’s how many people in East Asia feel about the Rising Sun Flag. Yet Japanese fans still displayed it in the stadium.
The level of anti-China hatred in Japan has reached new heights.
This post in Japanese reports of a Chinese tourist saving the life of a female Japanese after she fell into the sea.
The replies, however, are filled with claims of it being fake and anti-China remarks.
To the normal people, who does not have an irrational fear or hatred of China, may wonder why that is?
Did China bomb Japan to oblivion?
Did China invade Japan and murdered their citizens?
No, China did none of that in our 5000 years of civilization. Instead, we gave Japan our writing, our culture and our values. Pity, many of them didn't learn the altruistic part of our culture, only blind loyalty to their xenophobic isolationist mindsets.
This is why, we Chinese find it hard to reconcile with Japan for what they did to us from 1894 to 1945. It's not about unable to let go of the past, it's about a criminal living next to us going unpunished or lightly punished, and for some reason hates us. Despite the fact that it was them who committed the crimes.
I used to think this hatred for us Chinese is a form of defense mechanism.
The idea that if you hate your victims, then there is no way you are at fault.
But the more I get to know the Japanese, I've come to the conclusion that many of them are just shitty people.
The best anti-Japan propaganda comes from no other than the Japanese themselves because they are naturally insufferable and miserable, they can't help themselves when it comes to showing what horrible people they are.
