Your thoughts on the Japan textbook scandal.

[Said1]

Re: RE: Your thoughts on the Japan textbook scandal.

There's another angle between Japan and China to explore. Great article in Newsweek concerning this.

Recently the Japanese chased off a Chinese nuclear submarine prowling in disputed waters between the two.

In the past Japan has ignored these prowls, but not this time.

In addition Japan is exploring oil in this same area.

And China having found it purposeful to teach its citizens of Japanese atrocities in Manchuria, find it again to hide behind this anger it whips up in order for big business to hide behind popular indignation.

I read similar elsewhere too, looks like their headed for a stand off on top of the steadily increasing arms race.

Just as European big business hid behind all the young peace protesters of the Iraq war, so will China and every elite in the world will do so.

Could you expand on the above a little, with respect to global elite. Are you referring to weapons sales to China?

"How come the United States selects a female chimpanzee as Secretary of State?"

"This black woman thinks rather a lot of herself."

"She's so ugly she's losing face. Even a dog would be put off its dinner while she's being fed."

The 5000 years of civilisation on which the Chinese pride themselves were not so evident
this week in the comments on Condoleezza Rice's visit to Beijing posted on the internet site "New Tide Net".


China only keeps blamming Japan for what they have done to China in the past, but think about Tibet. China did a lot of bad things in foreign countries too!

Confrontation with Japan raises questions of role within, outside country

"Some people in the United States treat China as a potential threat and as an enemy," he said.
"If the U.S. treats China as its enemy and tries to obstruct the development of China everywhere,
China will be forced to become the enemy of the United States. This will not be good for both China and the United States,
and this will not be good for humanity.
"So there are no extensive anti-American sentiments now, but in the future it's hard to say."
