Five-year visas for foreigners on way Keeping an eye on this one.

China repeatedly calls for peaceful resolutions to everything (links too numerous to post here but easy to find). Their forces and drones are not killing people in foreign lands. Negotiation and diplomacy are the means these days, not BOMB BOMB BOMB. So it is good for all the worried Chinese in America that the USA is staying out of this mess.

I don't think the USA is that stupid. Like I said and think, such attacks will not happen. The USA is neutral on this issue anyway so I also think Japan will not do anything. They are Chinese islands and the neutral stance speaks volumes.

The ROC is considered by the USA (and the PRC) to be part of China so there is no "taking back" needed. IMO, China will overwhelmingly attack Japan the moment Japan seriously attacks them, regardless of the USA (who with two recent failed attempts at war in this part of the world, will not attempt a third). So such attacks will not happen. That is smart for the USA and will smooth out things with the Chinese people living "STATESIDE".

It is happy that the USA is steering clear of this mess which Chinese, including those in the USA care about.

great idea to shrink the amount of cars on the road and pollution in the air http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/fuhRRKDvv0TC5CsAe_jNRQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/autos/2013-04-26/ecb5573a-fb6f-455d-ac1c-41864a5f13c4_shanghai-license-plate.jpg It reminds me of other ideas that make the essential things to the product so expensive that it reduces purchases of the product itself.

Sure Carl, it's your site. But it hasn't been 75 years and China, Korea, Philippines and other offended Asian countries never dropped atomic bombs. And it is not personal to me, these are articles about other countries. Just being conversational. Have a nice day.

Abe defends Yasukuni Shrine visits today...

"A familiar pattern"

I like the comments made to the article: Markoff • a day ago half of them I am eating regularly and author's comments sound like from some novice staying 3 days in China, none of them are really spicy, maybe next time he will discover my favorite huang fei hong spicy nuts Harold Janson • a day ago Nothing really "weird" at all. You're just an idiot.

Your point is continue to ignore that Japan does not admit any wrongdoing which is the source of their dilemma (and the point of the international outrage). Good for you that you endorse Japan's actions so much but maybe you should encourage them to do what Germany, Italy and the USA did and not continue to foster ill feelings. A little admitting when you are wrong goes a long way.

This thread is named "Japan has no future" and links to the article "Insisting on wrong road, Japan has no future". 1. People's Daily author: Zhong Sheng wrote the article. Intent is subjective but I would think it is one of many articles from different countries written about the reaction (complete disapproval) from Japan's neighbors regarding the Japanese leader and other officials trumpeting their support and visits to the shrine. 2. Japanese need no permission to visit the shrine, it is one of their top tourist attractions. BTW, over 1,000 convicted war criminals are buried there. AFAIK there are no such war criminals honored by "the USA or the British or the German or French". Opium wars are another topic altogether from this thread. It is sufficient to say that period the foreign powers were trying everything they could to divvy up China for their spoils. Is the same thing happening or even likely to succeed now? Again, that is for another thread.

A little pictorial thread... http://bbs.cnhubei.com/thread-2986272-1-1.html http://img.bbs.cnhubei.com/forum/201304/28/001631jmz3mf04qfqvoykc.jpg

The Japanese do not admit they have war criminals. That's the point. And neither does the communist party admit millions were killed during the great leap forward and the cultural revolution. Don't you think two nuclear bombs was punishment enough? While Chinese internal problems have no context in this discussion (about Japanese having a problem with their future for the reasons stated), documents have been released where Mao and government officials acknowledged their mistakes during the great leap which was horrible worsened by several devastating weather events. Furthermore, the Red Guards have published and demonstrated in person their apologetic sorrow for the cultural revolution. Also, China has never dropped a nuclear bomb, much less two, on anyone (but I would bet that Japan is in the crosshairs now and is one grave mistake away from being flattened... with or without the USA there). Just so you know.

The Japanese do not admit they have war criminals. That's the point.

You mean like the way Japanese deny they ever did anything wrong? Those who deny or forget history are bound to repeat it. They could start by removing the criminals from the shrine which was built in the 1800s and probably not meant for convicts. Then issue the apologies formally for all the wrongs done.The way they are going now is just pissing off ALL their neighbors.

Not sure what part below there is to disagree with but ask Japan's neighbors, all of whom filed protests. In my opinion I agree, Japan is on the wrong path. They just never admitted they did anything wrong.

"The essence of visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors 2.5 million Japanese war dead, including 14 Class-A criminals of World War II, is crystal clear. Worshiping the war criminals is to revive militarism." There is no doubt in the truth of this statement. Japan has become a hated country among all its neighbors once again because of this. Everyone knows it is because Japan's economy is dismal and their hawks, backed by only the USA are reviving fervent nationalism again to push their aggressive agenda. If Germany had a shrine to their WWII criminals and continued to deny that what they did was untrue, I wonder how many Jews would like it... or how many German politicians would hold it so gloriously? 1,068 convicted war criminals, among them executed wartime prime minister Hideki Tojo and 13 other Class A war criminals are enshrined there. The shrine's authorities are reluctant to accept the verdict of war crimes tribunals, and history. "War is a really tragic thing to happen, but it was necessary in order for us to protect the independence of Japan and to prosper together with Asian neighbors," explains a pamphlet published by the shrine, aimed at children. "Some 1,068 people, who were wrongly accused as war criminals by the Allied court are enshrined here."

Be truthful about wanting kids and where you want to live.

I know, and I was thinking the "Western" definition... depends on the motive. If it was some nutcase that just wanted things to go boom and hurt people then I personally wouldn't call it terrorism. But yeah, the type of wording has been proven (especially in the West) to be used for military buildups. Just saying. We went to an undeclared longest war after one incident. I just hope they find out who the heck was behind this and brings them to justice. I'm not sure, but you seem to not realize that the Global Times is a publication of the Chinese Communist Party. I posted that as an indication of the thought from China.

As always, terrorism is often thrown around to rile people and raise military budgets.
