An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.

If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.

As an Iranian woman who lived in Iran for 19 years, I grew up wanting to become a surgeon. I never once heard in Iran that surgery was “for men.” Ironically, the first time I heard certain STEM fields or specialties being treated as more suitable for men was after moving to the United States.

Being this uninformed is surprising, Alice. It is irresponsible, unprofessional, and dehumanizing toward Iranian women. We are far more capable than what you see on your Twitter feed.

Iran has serious issues involving women’s rights and legal restrictions, but presenting Iranian women as secluded figures who are barely allowed outside is a caricature closer to Taliban Afghanistan than reality.

Iranian women are educated, visible, and active across society. The World Bank reports female youth literacy in Iran at about 99% for ages 15 to 24, which directly contradicts the image of women isolated from education or public life.

According to the World Bank Gender Data Portal, women’s formal labor-force participation in Iran is low, around 13 to 14%, while men’s is around 67%. That gender gap is real. But labor-force participation only measures paid work or active job-seeking. Research also suggests women’s informal, family-based, agricultural, and unpaid work may be undercounted. Using that number to portray Iranian women as secluded or invisible locked up in their homes is misleading.

If you want to discuss life for Iranian women, talk about how sanctions affect access to cancer diagnosis and treatment, including breast cancer care, since breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Iranian women. Talk about how sanctions restrict livelihoods, increase economic pressure, and make it harder for men and women to find adequate jobs and build stable lives.

Iranian women are strong and have spent decades fighting for themselves while building careers, movements, and communities. Reducing them to helpless, voiceless figures is ridiculous and unforgivable.

The real question is not only why Chinese people have bad impressions of Japan.

Chinese people have historical reasons: invasion, occupation, massacres, rape, Unit 731, biological warfare, forced labor, and tens of millions of Chinese casualties.

The real question is:
Why do so many Japanese people have bad impressions of the Chinese — the people Japan invaded, colonized, raped, experimented on, and massacred?

Why is the victim expected to forget, while the perpetrator gets to feel offended by being remembered?

Japan spent decades packaging itself as the victim of war, while minimizing the countries it brutalized across Asia.
Then when Chinese people refuse to erase that history, suddenly it is called “propaganda.”

No.

Memory is not propaganda.
Historical trauma is not propaganda.

The propaganda is Japan pretending its neighbors’ anger was manufactured, instead of earned.

So your framing is deeply dishonest.

Chinese hostility toward Japan did not appear because Beijing suddenly “managed public opinion.”

It has deep historical roots — and modern triggers only made it worse: Yasukuni visits, textbook revisionism, denialism, Fukushima nuclear wastewater, Japan’s alignment with U.S. containment strategy, anti-China security rhetoric, Taiwan provocations, and Japanese politicians openly challenging the postwar order.

But your conclusion is:
“CCP propaganda.”

Convenient.

For decades, Japan invested heavily in cultural diplomacy, academic networks, media influence, and “friendship” narratives in China. Many Chinese intellectual circles were far more Japan-friendly than ordinary Chinese public sentiment.

That gap was never proof that Chinese anger was fake.

It was proof that elite discourse had been softened while public historical memory remained alive.

Chinese people do not need propaganda to remember what Japan did.

They do not need state media to notice Yasukuni.
They do not need Beijing to explain textbook revisionism.
They do not need the CCP to feel disgust when Japanese politicians flirt with militarism again.

Blaming Chinese opinion on “managed hostility” is just another way of saying Japan should never face the consequences of its own history and behavior.

If Japan wants better public sentiment in China, it can start with honesty.

Not PR.
Not victim theater.
Not pretending every Asian memory it dislikes was manufactured by Beijing.
