Now We Have Anti-Chinese Demonstrations!?

You've got to be kidding me! I thought Japanese people were smarter and more peaceful than this. The average Japanese goes and complains that "China is a scary country" then they go out and do the exact same stupid thing the average ill-informed Chinese is doing...

What nonsense...

After the "Anti-Japanese" rallies in China... Which the Chinese government used for domestic purposes...

Then we have the "leaking" of the video of a Chinese fishing ship ramming the Japanese Coast Guard ship... Which the Japanese government claims they knew nothing about...

We now have our fair share of lunatics on this side of the Sea of Japan: Japanese nationalists protesting against China.

AFP reports:

About 4,000 anti-China protesters rallied in Tokyo on Saturday, with their anger fuelled by a video capturing a collision between Chinese and Japanese vessels which sparked a diplomatic spat.

Really, stupid people shouldn't have children...

Brandishing imperialist "Rising Sun" flags, the demonstrators gathered at an open air concert hall in the centre of the capital, a chorus of Japan's national anthem serving as an opening ceremony.


Those are not "Rising Sun" flags. This is a Rising Sun flag. It is called Nishoka. It is the flag that the Imperial Japanese Navy used up until the end of World War II.

Nishoka

But let us not be confused with facts when it comes to sensationalist reporting. The article continues:

It was the latest in a series of demonstrations against Beijing's claim to a disputed island chain in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. There have also been several anti-Japan rallies in China.

"Watching the video, I'm convinced that it was an act of terrorism," said Masumi Yokuni, a 30-year-old housewife wearing a traditional Japanese kimono.

This sort of thing doesn't bode well...

"We have to take action against anyone who is trying to grab our territory," she said at the open air venue, where organisers repeatedly showed footage of the collision on a TV.

Jeez, people... Is it just me or does anyone else feel like we're living in the bad economic times of the 1930's and the government's find these sorts of displays useful for their goals?


Don't you think that China and Japan have enough trouble - and enough of a troubled past - without having people like this nutty lady above - running around and teaching her 7 year old children how to hate?

This nonsense is getting out of hand.


Japan and China need peace and cooperation - NOT nationalistic demonstrations that serve no good purpose except to get the savages all riled up and foaming at the mouth.
