China DOS Union

1. During the missions to Tang China, what they took back was far more than what they brought as tribute. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　2. When the wokou raided the coast, it was as if they were entering an unguarded land. According to Fifteen Years of the Wanli Era, a dozen or so wokou killed and looted outside the strongly defended city of Nanjing at their leisure. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed? Tens of thousands of troops in the city actually shrank together like turtles, enough to be recorded on the first page of Wonders of World Military History. From this, it is not hard to imagine December 13, 1937. The foreshadowing had already appeared more than 400 years earlier.
　　3. In 1874, there was a conflict between the people of the Ryukyu Islands and the people of Taiwan, and Japan took the opportunity to intervene and swallow up Ryukyu. The king of Ryukyu refused to accept it and asked the Celestial Empire for help, yet got no response! How could the Japanese not be overjoyed? After annexing Ryukyu, because its national strength was still weak, Japan remained uneasy, fearing that “the donkey, unable to bear its anger, would kick,” so it sent envoys to China. The Celestial Empire actually replied: they are people beyond our civilizing influence; we do not concern ourselves with them. It even awarded 500,000 taels of silver. How could Japan not be overjoyed? (Hence the Sino-Japanese War twenty years later in 1894.)
　　4. In 1894, the two sides were originally evenly matched. But the Beiyang Fleet actually clung to the policy of “avoid battle, preserve the ships,” dodging everywhere and losing every initiative. Faced with such an opponent, how could Japan not be overjoyed? Then came the peace talks: Li Hongzhang agreed to Japan’s every demand. After being wounded by a Japanese ruffian, he still stuck to his post, and unless silver was given to Japan and land ceded to Japan, he swore not to return home. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　5. When the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, Japan sent the most troops and gained the most. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　6. The Russo-Japanese War was fought in the Northeast, yet the Qing court actually declared neutrality. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　7. On 9.18, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Northeastern troops offered no resistance at all (while a few mountain bandit chiefs actually died on the battlefield). With only a few thousand Kwantung Army troops, Japan swept across the Northeast, seizing more than 100 modern aircraft, half of China’s navy at the time, and large quantities of military and civilian supplies. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　8. During the stalemate phase of the War of Resistance, along came Wang Jingwei, and the puppet troops outnumbered the Japanese several times over. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　9. A few Chinese informers led to the capture of Yang Jingyu, who had persisted in resisting the enemy and appeared and disappeared like a ghost. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　10. After victory in the War of Resistance, China treated Japanese POWs kindly (compared with the Soviet Union sending Japanese POWs to Siberia for hard labor, China was practically the Bodhisattva’s mother and the Buddha’s teacher). Okamura Yasuji was not only found innocent, but even became an honored guest. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　11. The Nationalist troops that were supposed to be transferred to join the Japanese and American forces in the joint occupation of Japan were all sent to the front line instead to fight the communist bandits, thus losing a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　12. As for postwar reparations, both sides of the Strait, in order to win Japan’s recognition and in the spirit of “competition first, friendship second,” rushed to announce the abandonment of claims against Japan. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　13. The number-one war criminal whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Chinese people—?? Hirohito—died, and our government sent Foreign Minister Qian (if I remember correctly) to express condolences. Truly worthy of being called a land of rites and etiquette, paying respects to a murderer. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　14. There are now two million chemical shells left over from the Manchukuo period in the Northeast, and the Chinese government has actually agreed to destroy them on site, rather than have them transported back to Japan for disposal according to the International Chemical Weapons Convention. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　15. On the issues of civilian compensation claims and comfort women, China is now so ineffective that the longer things drag on, the more favorable it is to Japan. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　16. Japan’s economy has been in long-term decline, yet Japanese goods still sweep across China. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　17. Japan’s trash culture has cultivated large numbers of Japan-worshippers in China. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　18. The only thing Japan truly fears from China is China’s nuclear weapons, yet on the Taiwan issue China has always been calculating how to defeat the U.S. and Japan with conventional weapons, playing to its weaknesses and discarding its strengths, crippling its own martial arts. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　19. China’s commercial banks are facing heavy interest pressure (too many deposits, too few projects that can take loans), yet China uses yen loans in large-scale projects, and repays them with natural gas that China itself lacks. How could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　20. If, after reading this post, you still remain indifferent, how could the Japanese not be overjoyed?
　　If you are Chinese; if after reading this you want to do something, then please pass this post on to more people, so that our people can all keep a clear head!! Thank you!

Japan… Japan, so what?
In today’s China, if there were no Japan as an opponent, there would still be thousands upon thousands of Japans…

Only by constantly surpassing ourselves does it have any meaning!

Those little Japs have forgotten their roots!

Every Chinese should remember this. . . .
