Paul owns the bodega down on my corner. (No, I'm sure "Paul" is not the name that he was born with.) When I need an insight into "Chinese stuff", he always clues me in. Anyway... Paul isn't shedding any tears over Japan's plight. As he put it, "If it was any other country, I'd feel bad. Those people... no." Then, we got into a discussion about Nanking. (He was surprised that an American even knew what he was talking about. "You know history" is what he said to me.) Anyway... I guess that some wounds are slower to heal than others... 'cause Paul is still pissed about WWII. And, I'm 42, and he can't be any older than me... probably younger. So anyway, there's the Chinese opinion about shit going on in Japan. Cool, one guy who works on a street corner speaks for the entire Chinese population of the world. Awe-fucking-some!

China sends aid to Japan after earthquake
Symbolically significant donations are pouring in too. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on Monday that China would donate about $4.5 million in humanitarian assistance as the first plane-load of blankets, tents and emergency lights flew out of Shanghai. The controversial, media-courting Chinese billionaire entrepreneur Chen Guangbiao has reportedly gone to Japan to distribute about $150,000 in aid. "Japanese rescuers moved me very much during the [Sichuan] quake," he was quoted as saying by Xinhua, the official state news agency. "Now that they are in trouble, we must help them too."

My grandfather was exactly the same. He nearly got snagged into Bataan and had to fight "out" and back into the Philippines via New Guinea, Borneo, etc. However, it was that interaction and our subsequent cultural exchange that was very benefical to both countries for decades afterward. The Japs have to be understood for their homogeneous culture. Had we not essentially "forced" trade with Japan in the 19th Century...myabe things would have gone a bit differently? Did WE create the monster empire of the "early mid" 20th century by accident??? You can go round and round about this. Fact is...now is now. The Japs are decent allies, very staunch and well behaved people ( some cultural weirdness aside ) with great amount of pride, repsect for one another and organization. Are they perfect? Hell no!! Are WE? Unlike the peoples of Africa or Haiti, the Japanese are a wonderfully neat, clean CIVILIZED people. THESE are folks that deserve our repsect and help for the sheer fact that they are so stalwart in the face of destruction. Places like Hati and Africa should be left to reap the rewards of their slovenly heathenism. Let them rot. Japan? If I ran this monkey farm, we'd be over there helping them full force while the third world rolled around in maggots like they deserve. Of course, the piece of shit on Capitol Hill and all of his cronies won't do a god damn thing but a token "speech" and a little media horse an pony show. But if it was "goatfuckatopia" they'd be sucking each other off to see who could ship as much of our decent food and good to the ungrateful poor filth of the world as quickly as possible....and somehow.....we'd end up looking like the bad guys AGAIN!!!! |

Quoted:
There is still lots of hate for the Japanese up and down the China coast. There are exceptions, but for the most part, America has all but forgotten 9/11 .... China, not so much. Following the Doolittle Raid, most of the B-25 crews that came down in China eventually made it to safety with the help of Chinese civilians and soldiers. The Chinese people who helped them, however, paid dearly for sheltering the Americans. The Japanese military began the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to intimidate the Chinese from helping downed American airmen. The Japanese killed an estimated 250,000 civilians while searching for Doolittle's men |

Quoted:
Americans don't really get it. Other cultures have a much longer memory of historical events, Asian cultures being first among them. In other words, they hold a grudge. Most people don't realize the Chinese and Japanese have been fighting for centuries. So I guess the Blacks are right and should be pissed at the White race. Guess we should pay reperations to them. |

I figure blacks will stop being pissed off at whites about the same time Southerners stop being pissed off at the "Yankee Invaders." |
