It is not my place to speak for Jade, but as I understand it, one of the key bones of contention for Chinese who refuse to forgive Japan is that Japan has not paid reparations to surviving "wartime comfort women" (chinese women drafted into prostitution for the Japanese army) or their decendents. This may be one of the things that Jade, like other Chinese, expects to see before old wounds can be healed.

Frankly I do not feel that reparations are the answer- I feel it cheapens what happened. What was taken from the Chinese can never be given back, and what was done to them can never be undone. Nor can what was done to Japan be undone- Japan is the only nation on the planet ever to suffer a nuclear attack, and militarily they were emasculated in a lasting way which has not been equalled by the consequences for any country since Germany after WWI.

Horrible things were done and horrible consequences were faced. It was an awful time for humanity. The grieving over WWII has passed denial, has mostly passed anger, and now we're in the bargaining stages, trying to find some sort of recompense for the victims to make it all seem like it worked out OK. We have to get past that as well. We must at long last bring ourselves to the final stage- acceptance. We must accept it and go on with what we still have ahead of us.

I can think of no memorial for the victims of that awful chapter of history than for enemies to become allies, and for the specter such a war in the future to be eliminated by the will to live as neighbors and partners.

I guess your IQ is less than 60.


I'm sorry but i scored 144 in my last IQ test. But nothing to be proud of nonetheless. We have many people much higher than this here, in ATS. Again it takes a dummy to recognise another dummy.

Yes,CCP take charge the whole country,but not all the people are CCP.Just like me and I will never join it.


U made yourself sound like one. But I'm really glad for you if u are really wat u wrote, u r the first among ur 1.3 billion comrades out there to have a free mind.

Yes,my english is poor but I am confident after I saw you this agent of your own country who do the intelligence network.Ur english is poor,too.


Are you refering to all the shortcuts i use. If not, i will be very depressed if my english lose out to a chinaman.

Now that Taiwan belong to China so as the ins and outs,CCP has the resposibility to take back Taiwan.


Yep Taiwan belongs to Republic of China. Now even u agree with that.

Speaking from the deep heart,all the commen people in this planet are accepting the mind controlling.Do you swear your goverment never lie to you?I swear no one dare to swear in this planet.Your view that China is the aggressor prove this.


It is never about whether ur gov lies anot. I'm sure everybody with an IQ of 60 noes that. It's whether u noe wat is really goin on. That's y this site is set up sor all those like-minded to meet.

PS:I deduce a conclusion from your words your troops are dogs of your leaders.Don't tell me you are serving in the military now.


Opps i'm certain that only applies to PLA(juz ask ur comrade "the middle kingdom") and the extremists who are used as smart mobile bombs by Al-Queda. Too bad i'm too young for enlisting

here is a opinioin from a chinese forum.

a comparision of what germany and japan did after the war

----------------------------------------------------


Germany and Japan took two distinctly different paths to make amends after WWII.

1. Anti-Nazi German folks were encouraged by the Allies to purge the Nazi past, revile Hitler, and repent for its crimes against humanity. By admitting its past crimes and seeking forgiveness from its victims, the German people have been cleansed of their fathers' crimes.

2. Japan, on the other hand, tried to seek a new life by PROMISING NOT to repeat its crimes against humanity and without cleansing itself of its past crimes. The Japanese pre-war warmongering king, industrialist, politicians, military officers, and aggressions cheerleaders remained as captains of the post-war Japanese government, industry and military (oop, Self Defense Forces). US imposted a peace constitution and a forward looking peaceful education system on Japan while US administered Japan, but this influence dissipated as US withdrew direct administration.

With US out of the way soon after WWII, the unrepentant Japanese warmongers started to (as you say) look backwards and wanted to revive their unconsumated dream of Wa greatness and dominance over Asia. The "democratic" Japan had a one-party rule by LDP for 60 years except for a few year. Step by step, Japan deliberately renaged on its promise of a peaceful future by revising its view of history, by expanding its military into the second most powerful on Earth, by revering dead warmongers and mass murderers, by selective amnesia of others' suffering from its aggression while posing itself as a victim of an imposed war, sending troops overseas, and by interfering into other countries' affairs.

Japanese rationale for this renaging of a (indeterminate) peaceful future is its past 60 years of good behavior. BY not invading other countries militarily, it sees itself as having been rehabilitated and cleansed of its past war crimes. By choosing to forget its crimes and having forgiven itself, Japan feels strongly others should also have forgotten and forgiven. It acts indignant and surprised that Korean and Chinese people should still be angry at its self-forgiven past.

The crust of the matter is, Germany has been forgiven and its new generations have new leases on international life. Their grandfathers bit the bullet and severed its Nazi past as shameful crimes against humanity. Japan has not seeked forgiveness by repenting and cleansing its criminal past and therefore is NOT forgiven, yet. Japan's new generations will have to earn their international dignity and good standing by proving their strict adhesion to the PROMISE of being non-aggressive ever again.

This sounds like a raw deal for the younger generations of Japanese, but this was chosen for them by their grandfathers and the US administrators. Japanese will be watched by its former victims carefully for many, many years and any missteps will be loudly pointed out. To China and Korea, 60 years is not long enough to prove Japanese peacefulness. If Japanese today feel unfairly watched, well TOO DAMN BAD since this was their war mongering grandfathers' choice for them.

Just as the son of a murderer (Nazi Germany) is not saddled with his jailed father's crimes, an unrepenant serial killers (IJA Japan) under house arrest is watched extremely carefully by his victimized neighbors. Just because the serial killer has curbed his murderous mentality for a few years, you can bet your a$$ the neighbors would call the cops as soon as he misbehaves. And if this serial killer starts teaching his son to sharpen knives, all hell will break loose.

...................................

Marine, you fought as a soldier with weapons in your hands. You might have killed enemy soldiers and you might be killed holding your M-1. But that's the accepted mode of war.

What Chinese people are pissed off at Japanese is their brutal behavior against unarmed civilians, POWs, and subjects. Swinging a sword to behead an unresisting civilian in Nanjing was a crime while shooting at another soldier who is beading on you is not. Well, Japanese crossed the line and we will not let them forget it.
