Why don't you keep your stinky mouth shut? No room for China vs Japan politics here.

It's easy to remain an anonymous coward and generalize people, isn't it? Especially when you're too embarrassed to represent your own shitty country. The user crossed the line, but had the balls to apologize.

Chinese excuse? Most Chinese, like Japanese have more respect for human life than anyone else in the world given what we both went through. Now fuck off with your shit stirring ass. Are you even Asian?

you're not journalists so much as sent there to get flashy video of a war zone to sell ad time. It's sick that the News orgainizations force their reporters to do this. For what? Only some video that doesn't ad anything.

Darwinism at its finest. You tag along with rebel snack bars, then they kill you. No flak jacket, no helmet, and to top it off you don't even have your hair covered which is an insult to their religion. Kinda asking for it. I have no pity on you.
