China-Japan island dispute: patriotic protests backfire on Beijing

Anti-Japan protests in China have spun out of control. China and Japan are locked in a territorial dispute over the Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku Islands if you're Japanese). Leaders in Beijing have used the issue to fan nationalistic sentiments.

But those protests have backfired on Beijing, with leaders losing control of the rioters they set loose. Rioters have targeted all things Japanese: turning over Japanese-made cars, burning Japanese-related businesses and even forcing Japanese-funded electronics companies to shut down production.

Some rioters have used the opportunity for general looting and mayhem, targeting luxury retailers such as Rolex.

Now, the protesters are discovering protests can be used for things other than expressing national pride, such as the desire for democracy, freedom and human rights. Will Beijing regret giving its people a taste of freedom?

Stop! Chinese Hegemonism!

The world should know what the Sinocentric view of the world is.

(Part8/8)In conclusion, Japanese should tell the true history because Chinese government has publicized faked stories even now. At least 143 pictures in the Nanking Massacre Museum were edited or distorted by the Chinese government.

东史郎在日战争，中国军队杀害中国人民，好像他们是一个蠕虫病毒­。

During the Shino-Japanese war, Chinese military killed Chinese people as if they were a worm. Chinese government pinned thier crimes on Japanese soldiers.

(Part7/8)Moreover, Chinese victims couldn’t receive any medical treatment for they had no money. The Chinese government said, “You can get free medical treatment in hospitals if you said Japanese injured you.” That’s why; poor Chinese claimed “we were hurt by Japanese.” That’s why there are many verbal declarations in China. On the other hand, the Chinese government can’t hand in any conclusive evidence to the academic research investigation now.

(Part6/8)When some Chinese soldiers escaped from the battle against Japanese, barrier troops killed them. Also, I read an article before, some Chinese soldiers died in the cave when Japanese soldiers arrived the somewhere in China, the Japanese suddenly sobbed because they were chained up. Another sources said Chinese soldiers were killed by barrier troop than Japanese killed.

In fact the Chinese government announced these all of the victims must have been killed by the Japanese.

(Part5/8)Furthermore, the 1938 Yellow River flood was a very famous Chinese military mission. As a result, the course of the Yellow River was diverted southwards for nine years afterward, inundating 54,000 km² (21,000 square miles) of local provinces. All in all, the flood waters took an estimated 500,000 lives. The Chinese military did not care their people’s lives. Another example, during the Shino- Japanese War, there were barrier troops (督戦隊）in Chinese military.

(Part4)Moreover, Chinese soldiers destroyed people’s houses and their properties in order to wipe out any possible supplies or shelter that could be utilized by the over-extended enemy troops. This strategy is called "The Clean Field Strategy" by China. Definitely, China has cruel war strategies in their history. Chinese soldiers killed 30,000 their own people in cold blood under the Clean Field Strategy in Changsha in 1938. In fact, Japanese didn’t attack the Changsha Chinese city.

(Part3/8) A Chinese man whose name was梁啓超 called Chinese people戮民, which means “never mind people die for our victory” That’s why Chinese people called CPC, Mao soldiers, 共匪 which means communists pirates because they raped many women, plundered many towns, and murdered people. Actually, Chinese commanders admitted many soldiers’ these acts at least a week after they visited a new town. If the commander had not admitted it, poor soldiers would have killed him.

(Part2/8)Generally, Chinese military either KMT, which was led by Chiang Kai-shek, or CPC, which was led by Mao were just a group of loafers. They were not high moral military. They joined to the military because they could eat everyday and robbery. In tradition of China, people used to be killed as if they were a worm by soldiers for their victory. In other words, Chinese civilians were never protected by any authorities during any war.

(Part1/8)During the Shino-Japanese war, Chinese military killed Chinese people as if they were a worm.

Have you heard Chinese people claims Japanese atrocity in the Nanking in 1937? The story is perfectly wrong. Exactly they want to hide the shameless Chinese acts during the war. In fact when Chinese military was dispatched in new place, they extorted money or expensive articles and raped Chinese women.
