China and Japan have a long history of rivalry and conflict, marred by war and atrocities. Today, both nations economies are thriving, and theyre big trade partners, so why does China still resent Japan? TestTube Daily takes a look at the countries dark past and the effect it's had on their relationship today.
A common 'bonus' the the Japanese invading and occupying Manchuria was the special prize of gutting pregnant Chinese women on the street from the vagina to the top of the chest cavity, thus leaving the fetus to perish in the open.
The sickness of this has not left the memory of the Chinese. Nobody can blame either the Koreans or the Chinese for seeking closure on the atrocities the Japanese wrought on them during those terribly dark years. It has been passed down from generation to generation.
Japan is at least ONE of the primary reasons China is building up it's navy as fast as it can. Imagine a Chinese invasion of Japan? And THAT is why the Japanese are seeking to remove the WWII armistice that prevents them from maintaining large military forces.
Add Russia, the Philippines, South Vietnam, Thailand, and all the other nations bordering the China/Japan seas and you begin to see the Old Demon coming back out of the box.
Has anybody ever heard an explanation as to WHY the Japs did it? Such a normal, very cultured bunch of folks otherwise. Looks like China had "regional dominance in East Asia"
and Japan grabbed Korea from them, and they were off and running. Maybe the real first cause was "After two centuries, the Japanese policy of seclusion under the shoguns of the Edo period came to an end when the country was forced open to trade by United States intervention in 1854" -- above link. Gee, what would the past century have been like if Japan had been left to its own devices? amerika can NEVER let well enough alone.
Blaming amerika works with such blessed simplicity, it's almost as easy and natural as blaming the Jues -- also usually valid! Regret to say I had a direct ancestor on Perry's barge. The days of taking pride in something like that or having forebears who came over with William the Bastard are long gone -- wow, that was the fiend's other name!

Take a minute and sip on one of your favorite beverages.
The introduction of manufacturing into Japan was the largest impact of it 'opening up' to the West. And they never looked back.
Japan is in a really tough spot right now with Russia snorting at them from the North (over disputed islands) and China flaming at them from the East (over disputed islands and maritime trade routes.
Japan has NO WHERE ELSE TO GO. They can't invade another country, and are similar to sitting ducks out in the water between Russia and China, and Russia and China are pulling large military naval exercises in regional waters that are scaring the hell out of Japan.
Even more of a squeeze is that Japan has only ONE protection umbrella against Chinese and Russian aggression - namely the good 'old USA.
So, they really have no choice but to re-militarize their forces. If they have time to do it.
