Now We Have Anti-Chinese Demonstrations!?

You've got to be kidding me! I thought Japanese people were smarter and more peaceful than this. The average Japanese goes and complains that "China is a scary country" then they go out and do the exact same stupid thing the average ill-informed Chinese is doing...

What nonsense...

After the "Anti-Japanese" rallies in China... Which the Chinese government used for domestic purposes...

Then we have the "leaking" of the video of a Chinese fishing ship ramming the Japanese Coast Guard ship... Which the Japanese government claims they knew nothing about...

We now have our fair share of lunatics on this side of the Sea of Japan: Japanese nationalists protesting against China.

AFP reports:

About 4,000 anti-China protesters rallied in Tokyo on Saturday, with their anger fuelled by a video capturing a collision between Chinese and Japanese vessels which sparked a diplomatic spat.

Really, stupid people shouldn't have children...

Brandishing imperialist "Rising Sun" flags, the demonstrators gathered at an open air concert hall in the centre of the capital, a chorus of Japan's national anthem serving as an opening ceremony.


Those are not "Rising Sun" flags. This is a Rising Sun flag. It is called Nishoka. It is the flag that the Imperial Japanese Navy used up until the end of World War II.

Nishoka

But let us not be confused with facts when it comes to sensationalist reporting. The article continues:

It was the latest in a series of demonstrations against Beijing's claim to a disputed island chain in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. There have also been several anti-Japan rallies in China.

"Watching the video, I'm convinced that it was an act of terrorism," said Masumi Yokuni, a 30-year-old housewife wearing a traditional Japanese kimono.

This sort of thing doesn't bode well...

"We have to take action against anyone who is trying to grab our territory," she said at the open air venue, where organisers repeatedly showed footage of the collision on a TV.

Jeez, people... Is it just me or does anyone else feel like we're living in the bad economic times of the 1930's and the government's find these sorts of displays useful for their goals?


Don't you think that China and Japan have enough trouble - and enough of a troubled past - without having people like this nutty lady above - running around and teaching her 7 year old children how to hate?

This nonsense is getting out of hand.


Japan and China need peace and cooperation - NOT nationalistic demonstrations that serve no good purpose except to get the savages all riled up and foaming at the mouth.

Proof! Chinese "Anti-Japanese" Protests Are Really About Problems in China

As stated in an earlier blog the Chinese government allows the "Anti-Japanese" protests (they approve of all political gatherings) because it serves a political purpose for the government.

If they can have the people protesting some side show problem like islands and fishing thousands of kilometers away, then that takes the people's minds off of the true problems in China today like inflation, no jobs and government corruption.

Now, after some of the demonstrations have been starting to go after those true issues, the Chinese government says that they want these "Anti-Japanese" demonstrations to stop. Interesting timing.

The fact of the matter is that they don't care about the "Anti-Japanese" demonstrations, in fact, they encourage them. The Chinese government doesn't like how these demonstrations are evolving into "Anti-Chinese" government demonstrations.

It's sort of like the Islam hysteria in the USA... Everyone needs a boogeyman.

Even the western media is buying into this "Anti-Japanese" spin effort put out by the Chinese government.

As Breitbart reports:

About 200 people staged fresh anti-Japanese protests in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing on Tuesday as the Chinese government sought to rein in the outburst of patriotism from getting out of hands. Anti-Japanese sentiments triggered by a diplomatic row over a remote chain of disputed islands in the East China Sea last month have led to waves of protests in various Chinese cities in response to calls made on the Internet. Police in Chongqing, the largest city in Sichuan Province, stepped up security as protesters gathered in the latest anti-Japanese rally in the Chinese inland. 

The problem with many of these western reports is that the English speaking press must rely on Chinese government interpretation of what is going on. If you can read some Chinese kanji, you can see in this next video that there are many people demonstrating against government corruption, unemployment and inflation.

The Breitbart report must be just some regurgitation of a Chinese government approved press release.

The proof lies here in this Japanese news video. The red banners are, for sure, about the islands and Anti-Japanese... It's the blue and green banners that the police do not want shown on TV that are protesting the government and China's social ills.
