“”The Japanese murdered 30million civilians while “liberating” what it called the Greater East-Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere from colonial rule. About 23million of these were ethnic Chinese.”

China’s day of reckoning with Japan ain’t gonna be pretty.

The Chinese easily topped the Japanese by killing off 50 to 80 million of their own from the end of WWII to the end of the Mao regime.

Everyone hopes they are done with counting coup and taking vengence.

True. Some day China will get back (or at least give their best shot) at Japan for some of the things that happened during WW2. Think about it ....China is still after Taiwan, even though it is almost 60 years (well, 58) after the Kuomintang (with Chiang Kai-shek as the leader) fled to Taiwan! Even though Taiwan is not worth it to China (based on the effort it would take and the risk it entails if things head south), apart from the socio-political aspects, China still appears to be totally sold to the idea of taking Taiwan over.

Anyways, my point is this ....what do you think their plans are for Japan? A nation that killed millions upon millions of their citizens in rather gruesome ways. Well, China may have killed just as many of its own citizens (maybe more) over the years, but just because a nation is willing to kill its own people doesn't mean it will let another nation do the same. I'd bet a sizeable amount that one day China will seek to return the 'favor' to Japan, and knowing the Chinese it will probably have sufficient interest and a batch of baking powder added to it. I just hope that Japan continues to take the serious attention to its defence that it currently does (pound for pound one of the most effective militaries around), although to be VERY honest I can see why the Chinese would want to hit back (imagine if the Japanese had killed 20 million + Americans, and that we had done nothing about it because we were not in a position to do anything. Now imagine a situation where we are rapidly approaching a position to do something about it. A prudent man would say that revenge is not wise, but I'm certain there would still be some who would take the first opportunity at retribution. Let's say Japan needs to ensure its military stays sharp)
