Below are arguments that contain material not suitable for young children. It doesn't contain any swearing or abusive language.


As I do every morning, I goto the BBC News Website's World Asia section to read about an unbiased alternative view about China and her neighbouring countries. I get the Chinese State newspaper everyday at home but that is inevitably full of good news [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, today was fairly empty with little new news. But recently there has been a growing mass resentment against the Japanese. Not only because it's the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China, but also the uncovering of WWII Mustard gas killed a Chinese worker a short while ago. The Japanese has refused compensation as usual. This led to a huge nation wide petition which over a million people signed and was handed to the Japanese embassy. Upon the BBC questioning the embassy what it thought about the petition: both the chinese and japanese government refused to acknowledge receiving any.
The chinese media was also forced to not broadcast such commen and historical public sentiments.
This morning I scanned through the webpage and one thing caught my eye:
"Chinese Hotel Orgy - causes widespread anger"
Even under a communist state, prostitution is widespread in the last 7 years. Foreigners and rich chinese customers are targeted especially. Though called massage studios, everyone knows what they are about.
What really got me going was this:

"over 400 Japanese male tourists aged 16-37 arrived at one hotel in China. And started an orgy that took 500 girls per night to satisfy. This occured on the anniversary of the Japanese invasion. The same invasion that killed millions of chinese."

I am not quite sure why China trades like a lil monkey with Japan. Ever fearful of trade disagreements, Chinese government never asks for compensations.
Japan has the far more precarious economy, yet China has rarely been agreesive in it's foreign policy.


For a country of her magnitude, it rarely shows any sign of Imperialism. Look at Britain, USA, western europe and japan.

Lists of Chinese imperial traits:
1) 1952: helped North Korea.
2) 1950: took back Tibet after independence for almost 500 years
3) 18th century: defeated Dutch navy at taiwan straits
4) 9th century: China raids Mongolia and Manchuria

In the whole 5000 years of Chinese history, that's all we did. Woooohooo

Lists of foreign incursions on China:
1) 1932: Japan again invades China
2) 20th century: 2 Major Japanese naval victories leads to invasion
3) 1897: Britain takes Hong Kong as payment
4) 1897: Portugal takes Macow as payment
5) 19th century: Chinese capital sacked by the 8 Allies (Britain, USA, Japan..)
6) 18th century: Russian incursions
7) 16th century: Manchurians invade China
8) 11th century: Genghis Khan invades China
9) 10th century: Manchurians invade China

Feel a bit better now....
