The consequences of war, especially the brutality seen in war is beyond words. However, far more Chinese died during the Cultural Revolution and the famine that resulted from such revolution, than in the Second Sino Japanese War. The same in Soviet History; more Russians died by the policies of Stalin than by the Nazi invasion.

But do we see the vilification of Mao Zedong's cultural warfare? The subsequent loss of cultural artifacts, temples in China? Nay, he has practically been pseudo-deified by the State.

Just a perspective, if I may.

Far more? Give a statistics rather than your shitty mouth! What ever you said, Chinese would never forget what Japs had done in China and will pass on the education of history generations after generations. And you know the reason. Wait for it and be easy when it comes. Just one suggestion: DON"T KNEEL DOWN TOO FAST, PLZ!!!!

Ma zedong should be damned, you are absolutely correct. But for the time being, Ma zedong is still the founder of CCP and undermine him can be seem as undermine the party itself. This is why Deng Xiaoping who was imprisoned by Mao still regarded Mao with great respect in public.



There are so many radical Chinese who advocate a radical response to the Japanese. In my humble opinion, those who were responsible were all gone or almost gone, their offspring should be hold accountable for what their ancestors did. The best of what the Japanese can do is offer a sincere apology and that's what you did. So thank you, as a Taiwanese Canadian, I accept your apology!!

Hi Derek. Good to see that there are Zhongguoren with noble minds such as yourself. You're cool, tomodachi!
