my english is not good enough so i don’t know which point i have not explain clearly.
for any misunderstandings
just post after this one or mail me :firenzemc@gmail.com
i will try my best to tell you:)

Great pictures. I hear there is still much tension between Japan and China today because of what the Japanese did during the occupation of Manchuria. Is this true???

There is allot of tension between China and Japan because of allot of reasons. The most recent being, Koizumis visit to a Japanese shrine that is honouring the Japanese war dead of WW2.

BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4578387.stm

Qin dynasty end in year 1912, after qin’s most powerful man, yuen, betrayed them and turn into the democracy side, however, he didnt do it for the country’s good, he did it because he was offered to be prime minister. Qin government collapsed because all the military would only listen to yuen and refuse to fight for the qin dynasty against the rebell army

dont know if that is the main reason or not, but killing over 200,000 people in nanking would build a lot of tension between japanese and chinese

I think the lack of any evidence of Japanese contrition or even willingness to admit what they did also sours things.

I’m really sorry that i didn’t reply for such a long time
i have just travel to shanghai to do some investigation on ITS for my essay.

about the problems between japan and china.
may be all the reasons your provided is true.

Actually, i think german is much more better than japanese
at least they admit their fault in WWII
but most japanese never admit what they did in WWII
they told there citizens that they assult china is to build the “Eastern Asia Co-glory circuits”(i don’t know is this translation is correct or not, sorry). they told their citizens they assult china to help chinese but what they actually did in china is destory and killing!
they kill so many lifes in nanking but that’s already history. we can jus hold it in our memory but at least we want japanese, especially the youth to know what is the real history.
We can imagine. If all youth in japan learned that all the killings they did is to help other countrys, when they grow up and became adults, when they became the majority in japan government. what will they do? will they just “help” china? “help” Russia? or even help “the USA”?
hopes thats will not come true.

oh
so many have i said here
it’s all my personal opinions
and my english is poor hopes you don’t care:)
Thankyou and Danke
in china we say Thanks as Xiexie:)

Hey everybody
Why no one replys?

I was curious about how you think the Chinese of WW2 thought about Americans and how the Chinese think of Americans today. Dont worry about offending me (too much?) because ive heard just about everything. :smiley:

i think the chinese should thank the US for defeating the japanese, without american, the chinese could have lost the war

as for how chinese people see american today, i do not think most chinese actually hates american, but they do hate american government, who
-sell weapon to taiwan to prevent two places to become one country again.

-American government is implementing tax on chinese product would hurt china’s economy

-American’s plane has crashed on chinese migs, but still not apologize for that

this should be the reasons why chinese would hate american’s government
. Again, anti-american government does not mean anti-american
Thanks for reading

Keep this topic about WW2 Chinese. But feel free to start a Chinese Military topic in Off Topic - Militaria. You will see other topics like it. American, British and Argentinian. Would be interesting to see pics of the Modern Chinese Military. :smiley:

If you want I can move the above post and start it for you.
