Now China exceeds Japan and becomes the third largest trader in
the world and China's foreign exchange reserve also exceeds Japan
and becomes the largest holder of USD by the end of last year.
I believe sooner or later Japan will pay for "their arrogance, and
superior feeling in Asia".
If China agree to appreciate its currency according to the request
of USA and EU, even the GDP at official exchange rate will not
lose to Japan.
You are right, China itself has too many problem and farosias said:Yeah, China is doing pretty well, but Chinese ppl need to be aware of the fact that they owe their success to foreign investments/foreign aid (this includes Japan.)..It's not the achievement of the Chinese alone...
People are becoming wealthy, that's a good thing, but the cult of money without "public" is scary, though. ヒ?カナス窶槐?Qナ津カ is so prevalent in China..
yukio_michael said:Japan has recently shown also a bit of nationalism (see: Hating the Korean Wave), bordering on xenophobia with regards to Korea & China, but as has Korea and China to Japan. These are isolated incidents, but these incidents are more prevelant in a society where social economic stressors dictate that Japanese youth may have fewer options and opportunities.
"The Hate Korea Wave" is a reaction to the "Korea Wave", this title attracts attention, but contrary to what many people may expect in the book, it tries to inform ppl on Korea, focusing on Korea-Japan disputes, like the territorial issue. It's based on facts and opinions claimed by S.Koreans. It's not really anything like blatant racism. It tries to show the other side of the story. (Of course, this manga is just one person's opinion, and the reader need to go through more research before they reach any kind of conclusion. One book does not cover all information.)
gaijinalways said:You're kidding right?! Have you seen some of the excerpts alluded to from this book? Something tells me there is such a thing as brainwashing.....
Brainwashing is a term to describe an opinion that does not fit coherently into your own belief.
The "gray zone" is what makes J ppl quite flexible, J ppl can compromise quite well as long as the other party is also willing to compromise, but when facing another person with a "black and white" opinion, "gray" is too weak.
Japan media also calls their indiginous Korean residents, tv talent, stars etc, 'gaijin' or foreigners... my ex called them gaijin... not very welcoming if you think about it.osias said:http://japanese.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2005/01/17/20050117000050.html
A korean news report says that 63 % of Japanese like Koreans.
Wow.
Japanese media tend to focus on good stuff about S.Korea, like K-pop and dramas, so perhaps that's affecting how the majority of Japanese look at this country.
Chosun Ilbo: one of the leading newspapers in S. Korea.yukio_michael said:I'm not sure who made this report, it seems a little self-serving, propagandising; It's hard for me to even judge it's validity, especially sourced from a random site on the internet.
Interesting. Generally I think what gets put into newspapers is designed to manufacture opinion... public opinion has been dictated in areas far more in newspapers than they have by the public's actual experience with the topics themselves.osias said:Chosun Ilbo: one of the leading newspapers in S. Korea.
The Chosun Ilbo - Wikipedia
This newspaper sometimes(?) does exaggerate things.
If this is just a made-up story, I wonder what the purpose of this report is.
Thanks for shareing your insight,however ,don't assume sth. as a matter of course.nurizeko said:Other countries hate Japan because some of their people are small minded hate-filled bigots who get off on hate and suffering and hurting others, why they hate are mere excuses, these people are nothing more then pathetic excuses for human beings who instead of trying to improve themselves and in turn society in general for the betterment of mankind, they'd rather war monger, persicute or otherwise turn on their fellow man.
I think their scum and they dont deserve the oxygen they steal from everyone elses air.
Yay for grumpy attitude post!.
ODA? we all know that ,as "gs001" show :"Now I list Japanese aid by the end of 2005:osias said:Japan is not blaming anyone. Just tired. Japanese diplomacy really sucks..
Are the Chinese sincere?? Why is it that the Chinese gov is hiding Japanese ODA from the Chinese public? They should reflect on themselves too, before they stick their nose in someone's business. Why is it that the Chinese feel that they are the only exception. That's why we were talking about the double standard.
Hiroyuki Nagashima said:It was good
In the country where Japan assisted, all become rich.
double standard ? why you all confuse the civil war with international war?osias said:A good point!! It's a double standard when someone says that the Japanese did the worst. It's easier to blame an outsider (particularly a loser). The Chinese gov is directing the ppl's attention away from the atrocities that their leaders have done.
My history teacher (British) back in HS said, what Japan did was like nothing compared to what Mao Ze Dong did. (I think she was not particularly making favorable comments for Japan, because there were Chinese students, too. )
Doing less doesn't justify the killing itself, but the claim that the Japanese did the worst is meaningless.
Right, China relinquished its right to claim reparations, but China still wants Japanese money, and complains what Japan gives is not good enough. (China does not accept anything that Japan does, but China still accepts money! China likes money! Thank you, very nice.)4321go said:Not the past thing cause the present situation,In fact ,China abnegate the reparations that Japan should pay after the war!
Chinese people didn't want to see Japanese people suffer, so they decided to make their own people suffer in a civil war instead! (The Chinese are very kind, thank you.)Chinese people is virtuous,they didn't want to see the Japanese People suffer more pain after the war,and Japan and China establish diplomatic relations in 1970's.
Does China plan to downsize its own military? China is a threat to Japan, actually.The real reason is:the attitude of the present Japanese or Japan gov.,and the behavior of the Japanese people!
As the "breaching the UN constitution",Japan's military expenditure go beyond the limitツ〜.It's Army size is too large than the limitツ〜It even can garrison Iraq!
Are you sure that they all know? It seemed that they started to make a fuss about it, only after Japan started to consider withdrawing it.ODA? we all know that ,as "gs001" show

Yes, Chinese ppl are more respectable when they kill their own brothers instead. Very kind, the whole Japanese nation appreciates it.double standard ? why you all confuse the civil war with international war?
However,I will mention you one fact:China didn't invade Japan yetツ〜but Japan .... you can look up the history book!
I think you can continue when you find the clue that China invaded Japanツ〜
=====================original Chinese version said::
二战六十周年之际,日本的军国主义倾向反而抬头,亚洲周边国家为此颇为不满。人们会问,为什么五十年后的日本人还要为他们的前辈在六十年前的罪行道歉呢?作为一个民族,它的行为不仅要受一时的成本-收益分析的驱使,更受其民族文化的影响。因为一民族的文化实际上是该民族历史的记忆的积淀。只有一时的成本收益分析,一个民族只会象囚徒困境中的不合作者行事,而世代延续下来的民族文化,由于记忆了过去多次博弈的行为与结果,则倾向于采取合作的策略。在历史中侵略他国的民族,如果不将这一侵略及其后果记忆下来,就不能在其文化中殖入和平的基因,它的文化就不能阻止它发动新的侵略战争。所以,从一个民族及其历史的角度看,六十年后的人为其先辈道歉并不为过。
问题是,为什么不少日本人拒绝道歉呢?除了我们不知道的原因,一个原因是,在日本之前的侵略者并没有道歉。我在这里指的是英国和法国为首的西方国家。它们之所以没有道歉,是因为它们迄今为止还没有打败过。由于社会达尔文主义的逻辑,打输的侵略者受到了惩罚,被要求道歉,但打胜的侵略者却没有受到过惩罚,也还没有被要求道歉。自近代以来英、法等西方人强加于世界的规则,其实就是日本人后来遵循的规则。即社会达尔文主义的战国规则,亦即我在"什么是文明"中所说的"武器先进者胜"的规则。正是这种规则导致了两次世界大战,导致世界迅速地从大刀长矛的时代进入了核时代。但是直到今天,西方人不仅没有丝毫的忏悔,反而百般粉饰那一段不光彩的历史。从他们的正统历史教科书中,新一代西方人不会对他们先辈的海盗行为感到羞愧,现代的日本军国主义却会从中找到它的道德基础。然而,我们今天面对的世界秩序,实际上是由我们对历史的理解构成的。它所包含的"武器先进者胜"的规则,是在一百五十年前就奠立了的。我们对以前的历史不加批判,我们就不能改变今天的规则。而正是这种规则,使人类进入了核恐怖,使人们看不到走向和平的道路。
