Of course, Japan was the scarier of the two in the WWII era.

Now, however, it's a dumb question.

"Chinese took to the streets on Saturday and Sunday, angry at a new Japanese history book"

That is rich, aren't the Chinese the ones that howl whenever anyone so much as thinks about telling them what they should do with their internal affairs? They seem to be very free with their demands to have a say in the curriculum of Japanese schools.

China Is "Scary Country"

China is scary.

This from a friend in Taiwan:
"The sentiment towards Japan is far more different in the mainland. The CCP are fermentating the hatred toward Japan, and there are lots of "angry young people" want to launch a genocide in Japan. If you have an idea that how Nazis fermentated hatred toward Jews, you'll be afraid of what you see in modern China. Some of they also want to kill all Taiwanese, too. These people are much more resemblent to Nazis than commies."

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told reporters in New Delhi on Tuesday that Japan must "face up to history squarely" and that the protests should give Tokyo reason to rethink its bid for a permanent council seat.

This is the real reason. The Chinese don't want the Japanese to have a permanent seat on the Security Council. Japan contibutes almost 20% ($321,091,920) of the total UN regular budget and China contributes 2% ($33,860,782).

The Chinese seat used to be held by Nationalist China (ROC) until it was turned over to the Communists (PRC)on November 21, 1971. The Republic of China (ROC) was one of the founding members of the United Nations and a permanent member of the Security Council from its creation in 1945.

We should never have agreed to the One China policy.

China is assuming that Japan will be like Taiwan in that we wouldn't do anything if they were attacked.

They are either getting very stupid or very desperate over there, and niether one is good. I'm also concerned about India, as a country that we should have on our side, they seem to be putting themselves in a real bind by listening to China's overtures.

and what is Japan going to do to prepare for the eventual war?

It's just crazy, crazy I tell you. I feel like sometimes the Chinese feel like it's a game. Has anyone seen Mr. Bubbles?
