• Protests in China

  China is probably the best example of succesful brainwashing on a mass scale.  At present the people there are protesting against Japan on a mass scale over a tiny group of islands.  The islands are actually Japanese territory, but the Japanese government has officially bought them from a private owner recently, and this has inflamed people in China, including the Chinese government.

  

  I have one question.  What is the use of the islands?  Because the article I read described them as small rocky outcroppings.  My guess is that it has more to do with control over a swath of the ocean than any pragmatic use the islands themselves might have. 

  There are protests in China around the Japanese embassy, and some of them spilled over to the US embassy where the car of our ambassador was damaged.  The protestors are saying that this reminds them of the time when Japan invaded Manchuria, which was highly offensive to the Chinese people, even though the native Manchurians are in fact NOT Chinese themselves.  Manchuria was a different nation, like Tibet, which China annexed at some point.

  “On Tuesday the dispute mixed with remembrances of a 1931 incident that Japan used as a pretext to invade Manchuria, setting off a brutal occupation of China that ended only at the close of World War II. China marks every Sept. 18 by blowing sirens, but demonstrations such as those seen Tuesday are not routine.”

  Seriously?  They are still doing this every month since the war?  There is no reason for people in China today to be angry at Japan.  All of those Japanese war criminals from WWII are dead, and the people alive today had nothing to do with what happened back then.  This is just as foolish as the black Americans who are still complaining about slavery as if it were part of their life, even though it ended over 100 years ago.  You cannot hold people responsible for something that their ancestors MIGHT have done in the past.  No one can help what people group they are born into, it’s just a circumstance.  Japanese people don’t wake up and think, “Hmm, how can we screw over Chinese people today?” 

  The biggest imperialist nation in the far east today is China, which is not only geographically the largest, but which has taken Manchuria, Tibet, part of Mongolia, and a variety of Turkic groups to the west.  When a country invades other countries and integrates them into it’s authority structure that is called imperialism.

  That being said, the whole reason why the Chinese government allows these protests, and why they blow sirens every day, is because they have a vested interest in directing the people’s anger toward Japan.  Why?  Because this is a typical tactic that the left uses in any part of the world.  They like to get people upset at someone other than them, so they keep bringing up things that happened in the past in order to keep them fresh.  It’s nothing but a distraction from the real villain and opresser, which is the left wing government. They dupe people into blaming their bad circumstances on something other than the real culprit.
