I always thought it is funny that the Chinese members get so apoplectic to insist that no such bloodshed occurred on that day in that location. But if no such massacre occurred, then why the heavy handed approach to the subject, to the point that an innocuous combination of words and numbers make headline news ?
An interesting point of conjecture, Sir. Relevant, indeed. Tho , i pray must say, the most diehard defenders of their leadership will dispel the student protesters as 'liberal' seditionists, do remember what some of the radical posters here referred to the Hong Konger protesters just several months ago? Some of them ( i will not name them ) even touted for the PLA to bring in tanks to put down the Hong Konger protesters.
Who even defends such thinking in modern days? Tho at the same time they will , hypocritically, lambast the crimes of the Imperial Army during the war in China for the same brutality, or even make a defense against some brutal policies that have been done towards some ethnic minority groups.
I just think its appalling. Given, I agree that what Japan did in China was wrong, and there is no defense for some of the inhuman crimes against humanities, especially what happened in Nanjing. For me, brutality is brutality, there is no exception, there should be no exception.
India is very far from perfect
Most of it still lingers at the bottom of the social value chain
only the crazy delusionals blind their eyes until revealed
I don't think any Indian poster here claimed their Nation was perfect. In fact, India is far from being perfect, like all societies. However, India has the mechanism in place that tries to address issues. There is no defense on civil rights abuses, nothing can defend that, however, the Indians at least have a free media that openly exposes gaffes in their governmental processes , and there is the popular movement that can see to the resolution of these inefficiencies.
In the end, India is not an autocracy, but is a participatory, representative democracy. Therein lies the dichotomy between The Republic of India and other relevant state(S) in East Asia.
