Hey, this comment is composed of arbitrary claims without any references. Can we have a more constructive discussion where information and data can be shared?


Well that's a fair point. Can I also say that I thought your first comment was beautifully written (I'm being honest here).

Anyway, I don't have time right now right now to provide evidence. So that does weaken my case. I looked into this stuff years ago. I also am aware that my position might be hurtful to Chinese. That is not my intention either (but it may have happened - and I'm sorry if that did occur). I could try and provide some links Tomo.

Just to repeat I know the Japan invasion of china was horrific. Their treatment of British Soldiers was awful too.

But how this event has been portrayed by the Chinese, relative to other awful historical events and the impact that has had on them is something I feel needs consideration. Anyway I'm just repeating myself.


Points taken.

CCP indeed has a plan for most significant historical events where the party has proper resources to work on. Those were mostly managed by the propaganda department. This is also reflecting my comments elsewhere about China is far more exotic than just being oppressive and authoritarian.

But for all those manipulation, Japanese denial has been extremely insulting and unnecessary, which I have been saying all the time.
