This is all kinda fucked up.

Is it more sabre rattling? or china chance to flex it muscle and start trouble?

The era of humiliating China is over, over since a long time. Chinese people do not even consider Japan to be populated by humans.

When i talk to Chinese, any Chinese, the only thing I heare is:

"I hate Japanese".

"Our family lost dozens of members when the Japanese came".

"My grandmother was going to the mountain when the Japanese came to Nanjing, that's why I was born".

The Japanese should walk on their knees to China and beg for fogiving.

I was wondering if china wants to kick japans arse for what happened in the 30's

Though if it does escalate, where i am (australia) will be in an interesting spot.W

We need china more than japan.

They all look the same to me.

In the night all cats are gray.

[Invisible Hand]

Just what the world needs, more tribalism.

Japan completely transformed itself after WWII. The Japan of Nanking doesn't even exist anymore.

LOL.

Was waiting for that!

China's school educate their children about history.


The only thing Chinese do not know is that their president has a bank account in the USA of estimate 150 million USD, and the USA doesn't help to return this finances. That you do not learn in Chinese schools.

[Snaporaz]

An atrocity of such magnitude cannot be easily forgotten by the Chinese, who look at their recent past as a century of suffering and humiliation at the hands of foreign aggressors.

During the early 1950s, the Nanjing Atrocity made national headlines, probably for the first time, in the People's epublic of China.

On the Japanese side, due to wartime control of the Japanese press, most Japanese did not learn about the atrocities in Nanjing until the Tokyo trial.

[Snaporaz]

Japan's official position is that

"there exists no issue of territorial sovereignty to be resolved concerning the Senkaku Islands".

From what I can understand, it is about oil in disputed waters. Who the hell knows how that will go. Fortunately for Japan, there are a few american military bases here, and we all know how America feels about oil.

I don't watch too much Japanese news so I wouldnt know.

I thought I read something about being able to monitor Chinese subs coming and going from those islands. That would make them pretty important.

China is an enemy waiting to strike. Japan is an ally.

Being an Aussie you might not care.

Just for geo-political issues alone, it makes sense that Australia would be GREATLY concerned about a China/Japan conflict.  Just as they were prior to WWII.   And that doesn't even begin to consider issues of trade.

True, but I was referring to the fact that he's Australian he might not care that China is our enemy and Japan is an ally.

He might care even more.  A) he'd be more likely to be in the line of fire of any actual armed conflict.  B) the Aussies are more closely allied with the Chinese than with the Japanese in many ways, but of course have strong alliances to the US and Britain as well.
