The CCP killed 50 million chinese. Are they trying to make their own evil look smaller?
They just said they would sacrifice the most populated part of China in a nuclear war with the US. This could lead to the death of 700-900 million chinese. Are you ready?
Oh great and masterful CCP, what plans for the masses of chinese do you have?

I think you have to be careful here. I know the KMT and CCP taught us all these great atrocities committed by Japan, but they are part of propaganda. Japan's invasion is wrong, and many innocent people died. But CCP and KMT actually over blow the facts. For example, a lot of photos shown by CCP and KMT are cut and edit in ways that mislead people. Unfortunately a lot of these are just taken as facts after they are published and retaught over and over.
Japan was wrong, but believing totally in what CCP and KMT said is not very good. I don't think it is worth it to be over zealous over Japan's apologies since they have apologize many times I think.
And in the end Japanese people suffered as well when US fire bombs and nukes their cities. Some form of forgiveness might be worth it as well.

Yes it is slightly different than a first strike policy and they did demote the guy, but how much of all that is orchestrated.

" They still go visit the war shrine to pay respects to their buried war criminals. "
Yasukuni Shrine also houses the ashes of 2.6 million dead soldiers. Our President goes to Arlington cemetary and confederate soldiers are buried there.
Yasukuni is a religious shrine and a man under the UN human rights convention is allowed religious freedom to worship as he pleases.
There was a civil case on Koizuml's visits and the plaintiffs lost . Because Japan recognizes the right of religious freedom also.
I'm sure he'll go again before the year is out.
This is about money.The billions in foreign aide Japan gives to China Goes right into the pockets of the CCP. The CCP only allows sanctioned riots for the press to parlay. All others are crushed mercilessly.
Originally posted by chinawhitebodebliss i asked who said that they would sacrifice the chinese population.
"Also you japanese can start by moving those 14 class A crimmals out of the shrime."
Japan is a free democratic government. If the Japanese see this must be done it will be done.
If this were an issue in China, the CCP would just murder the protesters.

The Japan government of the pre-war and war were dissolved. In international law that means that the Japan government since the war years is not liable for that other government. For this Japanese government to issue a official government apology would mean that they are taking responsibility for that other government and they shouldn't and they don't have to.
They state they are willing to lose all chinese to Xian!
Germany is also a free democratic government. Why don't they build a shrine for Hilter and worship him every day?
The CCP would allow the protests to take place and make it as public as possible in order to demonstrate that the people are with them on this. Which was what actually happened, if you've read the news.

Nobody said they HAVE to. It's just that if they don't, they demonstrate that they are irresponsible and other Asian countries are not going to respect them and give them any benefits. For example, China might veto Japan's requrest to be on the UN. Say I accidentally knocked you over while running, and the law doesn't require me to say sorry, so I'm not going to. You like that?
The "apologies" they give means nothing as long as they keep paying their respects for their war criminals and teaching fake stuff in their history books.
They state they are willing to lose all chinese to Xian!
East of Xian you mean. And no, they're not going to do that. What kind of an idiot would sacrifice half of a country in order to gain control of an island not 1/10 of the country's size? Either he's out of his mind or he wants to instill fear in those who are easily duped. For those in the US that actually believe he's serious, they would think "damn, even if we could retaliate, we still have a lot to lose if they nuke us, better just forget about Taiwan it ain't worth that much."

Mao worshiped Stalin who hated peasants.

Mao never worshipped Stalin...don't even try and pull that crap off.
They, however, were revolutionary comrades; not only did thay share a common ideology and fight against common enemies, they also needed each other to survive and grow. Therefore, they minimized possible personality conflict, and maximized their strategic and tactical cooperation.

Originally posted by bodeblissIf the current gov't of Japan makes a formal apology.

I meant if the roles were reversed. I think you know that. You just twisted my words.
