China is Losing the Plot....

Protests in China are way out of bounds and if this happened in the USA, it would be met with dissenting protests. Or at least with a news media that has something to say about them. How is the media doing in China these days guys? These protests are violent, vitriolic and at the end, silly protests and have no place in modern discourse.

The bottom line is that the Chinese Communist Party has been unable to deal with a minor issue with the Japanese ostensibly surrounding textbooks. But in reality, they are losing their grip on local power in the region and are dangerously stoking local protests to register in the media globally.

The bottom-bottom line is that the leaders in China have been unable to put together a cogent argument against Japanese participation in the UN Security Council and have reverted to a dumbing down of sanctioned local protests to make a silly point.
It was the payoff of decades of anti-Japanese propaganda in the school systems here. Pretty much anyone you ask will say he hates Japan and the Japanese, and takes personal offense at the way Japanese schools teach World War II.

So, lets see, the Chinese are angry how the Japanese teach their school children but apparently the Chinese are no better with their schooling about the Japanese. Read it all here.

Haven't they changed the way that they behave on a global scale. Are they better citizens or worse than the Chinese are? The Japanese haven't threatened [as in Taiwan] nor have they actually invaded neighbors [like Vietnam, India or Tibet, if you include then].

Who is the real risk here in Asia? Japan or China??? China, grow up already.
