A lot of Americans know that their media is full of lies, unfortunately, it makes a lot of money from the more gullible aspect of American society hence it reinforces itself and a vicious cycle is formed. Can you explain the complexity of the narrative of the museum? I think if the musem is...

I think you missed my point about the Yasukuni museum Yasukuni Shrine also operates a war museum of the history of Japan (the Yūshūkan), which some observers[who?] have criticized as presenting a revisionist interpretation. A documentary-style video shown to museum visitors portrays Japan's...

While understanding your own view is important, understanding your opponent's view is also important. From what I see, the problem with Yasukuni shrine is not the war criminals, it is the museum adjacent to it (which supports an erroneous narrative of history). Visiting the shrine is hence...

Based on my observation, this seems to be the heart of the issue. Japan thinks the historical issue is fully settled, Korea does not. But why do Koreans think the historical issue is not resolved. Does Japanese domestic politics also play a role? Try too see when Japan-Korean relations were...

There was also a sharp deterioration during Koizumi era. I think you missed my point. The attitude that you employ (Koreans are to be blamed - they are using historical issues for their own domestic politics) is counterproductive because it is a shallow analysis and does not bring greater...

Isn't blaming all the tension in Japan-Korean relation on the Korean side a bit too shallow of an analysis? As the great Deng Xiao Ping once said "seek truth from facts" (it is actually from the book of Han), try to see deeper into what the Koreans are dissatisfied about (as oppose to just...

This problem is not unique to china. In US, there are 50 million Americans living on food stamp, and 3 million that is flat out homeless and starving. China's problem can't really be fixed easily. The poor area are also the water poor region, so it is not attractive for industries to move...

Although that text book is retarded (do you really need to teach that hometown in shanghai -> Chinese?) what it said about Filipinos in Hong Kong is not completely inaccurate ( "There are around 140,000[2] Filipinos in Hong Kong, a majority of whom work as foreign domestic helpers" -wikipedia)...

The nazi raped/killed 10+ millions of poles/slavs The red army got its revenged and raped 2 million + Germans. Of course, just because Japan wasn't the only one that committed war crimes doesn't justify Japan's war of aggression. If that were the case, then everyone should have the right to...

Very impressive ship indeed. It is said that if an enemy destroys an aircraft carrier, it would have done 30 billion dollars worth of damage (12 billion for the AC, 18 billion for the aircraft/weapons/equipment.)

I feel that China gets far too much hate for the 9 dash line. The Vietnamese claim over SCS is just as ridiculous (vietnam also claim both spartly and paracel). China won't be called a bully if it was smaller, just 4 powers (CN, VN, PH, MY) fighting over the same islands.

As far as I can see, most Chinese don't have any dislike for individual Japanese, and they really like Japanese products such as safe food, electronics, household appliances, cars, anime/manga, pornography. Japanese on the otherhand are much more distrusting of chinese, their media always...

An noble act is always welcomed, but I think he could give that 300,000 to help provide electricity and water to rural china. The american govenment has more than enough to feed all her poor people, unfortunately, the money is wasted on iraq war.

Hope the exhibition will ease tension between china and japan. It will be a chance for japan to see its cultural influence from china. Also, it is a good thing taiwan stole the treasures otherwise china would destroy them during the cultural revolution.

Buy the south china sea.

Do not be too overconfident. In 1914, Germany thought it could take Paris within 6 months, they were wrong. In 1941, Nazi thought they could take over Moscow in 6 months and they were wrong. In 1937, The Japanese thought the Chinese would surrender in 6 months and they were wrong. In 1942, the...

Don't underestimate your opponent. China did that in 1979 and lost (poorly equipped and inexperienced Chinese vs an extremely experienced army that fought for 10 years).

Unfortunately, there is nothing Vietnam can do about it. Attack it and risk war, do nothing and lose face - both bad options. Vietnam should invest money on building oil rigs and dig near Paracel islands. It would be interesting to see what the Chinese reaction will be.

I don't see china collapsing the way the soviet did. At worst, there will be a regime change, but china won't lose 1/4 of its landmass. The non Han region is far too weak for independence unlike the non russian region of the USSR (Ukraine population: 50 mill, Russia population: 150 mill compared...

Try seeing the situation from the Vietnamese perspective. China's population is 15x bigger and GDP is 60x bigger. China's navy can sink Vietnam's navy and take over the Spartly islands. China's veto power in the UNSC effectively makes complaining in the UN useless. There are many China...
