I was just trying to clarify some points but if you feel my explaining to you what the facts are means being angry at you then it can't be helped. I am not angry at you...i mean i don't even know you. Thanks for your input anyways:)hcpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873196049058280832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-49012663467259882052007-08-26T23:37:00.000+09:002007-08-26T23:37:00.000+09:00I do not think it would be necessary for me to men...I do not think it would be necessary for me to mention my country. Anyway i just argued with you in a complete sense. Whatever you said i conterrefuted till you finally wrote the last comment,which was a sort of an angry rebuke. I think you are a very sensitive person. Anyway,Sharm has spammed the message about WUB to almost all of the chinese related blogs you could find,i even found the same comment on other chinese related blogs too.

To say that it was the Chinese whom committed atrocities against the Chinese during WW2 is like saying it was the Jews controlled by the Germans who sent their own into the death camps. Its a ridiculous claim which anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to figure out. I think the author of that book you read must have been highly delusional whilst writing the book. Also, the atrocities were committed by your average Japanese soldier and not by some dark society elements as you claim. Even the Japanese right wing would not argue that some 'triad' groups composed a section of the Army. Further, the atrocities committed were so widespread and common that we would be indeed kidding ourselves to say that they were merely a 'minor' part of the Imperial Armed Forces of Japan and not 'representative' of the entire Japanese army. If anything, brutality and savagery was the RULE and not the exception for the Japanese Army. I have extensive interest in this area and done personal research as well as subjects in this area during my university days and so i think I just had to correct some of the inaccurate historical views you hold. May I ask which country you come from?hcpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873196049058280832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-11943766898395207532007-08-20T23:46:00.000+09:002007-08-20T23:46:00.000+09:00why do you have to make statements like :- "The on...why do you have to make statements like :- "The only thing unfair about the trials was that more people weren't hanged!!" . Ok getting deeper into the topic. I had read a book called "emperors new bones" by "Adam Williams" about the japanese occupation period of china. Sorry if i am boring you with history but in the 1920's-1940's three factions dominated china :- "chang-tso lin's"(warlord forces) supported by japanese.Of course the legendary "Kioumintang" under "chiang Kai Shek" and Mao tse tsung's communists. The majority of the atrocities were inflicted not directly by japanese but the warlord chinese forces controlled by the japanese(according to the book). And Chiang-Kai Shek whom many consider to be the father of Taiwan Himself respected japanese philosophy and principles. Japanese occupational forces were mostly made of shady societies called "black label societies",who are thought to be the precursors of "yakuza". So All i am tring to argue is that there could be a reason for the atrocities. Black label society members were known for their ruthlessness. Nanking massacre was perpetrated by members of these shady black label societies. They are in no way are true representatives of imperial japanese army. Also chiang kai shek himself repected japanese a lot. Well china would never have had to go through those famines if chiang kai shek would have won the war. But Mao had to win. Well history is history. <BR/><BR/>"Great nations are always forged with ruthlessness and bloodshed."gorgutz headhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056084505641439109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-88927013693767176972007-08-20T16:33:00.000+09:002007-08-20T16:33:00.000+09:00gh: Well, I see you are from the right-wing factio...gh: Well, I see you are from the right-wing faction. It is typical response of the Japanese rightwing to argue that the Tokyo Trials were unfair. The only thing unfair about the trials was that more people weren't hanged!! <BR/>Also I am not biased and irrational like some people, just because China did some stuff to Taiwan DOES NOT MEAN that I must go against everything China says. Thats just plain dumb. This is not about China's side or Japan's side...it is about the truth, about what really happened. Agreeing with the chinese does not mean you must hate japan. Your arguement is very much based on 'taking sides'....Japan must learn that to deny things will not make things go away. Further, it is not only the Chinese whom possess my viewpoint on WW2, the South Koreans as well as SouthEast Asian nations also largely agree that the Japanese were aggressors in WW2. Japan is alone in its historical perception of WW2 either with the West or with the rest of Asia.hcpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873196049058280832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-74260873077273689742007-08-20T03:13:00.000+09:002007-08-20T03:13:00.000+09:00For your kind information miss hcpen,wartime trial...For your kind information miss hcpen,wartime trials of japanese war criminals were very unfair,They were even more unfair than the "nuremberg trials". All chinese are trying to do in my opinion is trying to gain a sympathy wave just like the way jews have gained one for holocaust. But i am not trying to argue against it. It is their viewpoint and perceptive. But I am angered that a nation which has itself perpetrated many atrocities in taiwan and tibet sits back and criticizes japanese for war crimes. Don't you think it is hipocrisy. And why are you supporting chinese in this viewpoint,You are from taiwan right,aren't you angered at what the chinese government did to your motherland,though you are currently in oz.Sorry if i overreacted.Maybe i don't even have a right to ask you these questions.Anyway i just passed by your blog randomly,and these are just my opinions.keep posting.Also the name is "gorgutz headhunter".gorgutz headhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056084505641439109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-85739185644392750772007-08-19T18:58:00.000+09:002007-08-19T18:58:00.000+09:00gorgeous headhunter: It is important because it al...gorgeous headhunter: It is important because it allows the victim nation to heal. It is important becos you can't just commit atrocities and then deny you did anything wrong. In peacetime, we put criminals in jail, but because of the circumstances of war, we could not prosecute the entire Imperial Japanese Army ...thus an acknowledgement and full sorry is the least the Japanese are expected to do. Also the atomic bombings japanese arguement is indeed what you say, to satiate the Japanese ego that they were the victims of WW2 and not the aggressors. <BR/>PS: In case you didn't know, chemical weapons affected many Chinese living in the countryside and the effects of leg rotting continue to this day. Further, the Japanese goverment estimates at least 300,000 chemical weapons are still left in china and there have been frequent accidents. (The chinese side estimates at least 2 million chemical weapons used by the Imperial Armed Forces remain in China). So next time you want to talk about the atomic bombing 'excuse' think about the looooooong list of warcrimes committed by the Japanese and anyone with a conscience would shut up about Japanese suffering during WW2.hcpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873196049058280832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12627448.post-21292660904040435162007-08-19T13:48:00.000+09:002007-08-19T13:48:00.000+09:00Because of Nanking only one generation of Chinese ...Because of Nanking only one generation of Chinese had to suffer, But because of atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki generations of Japanese had to suffer. Even though both cities are completely rebuilt still the scars of atomic bombings remain. Young children with deformed respiratory systems. The list of horrors is endless. The author's taste in films seems to be very good.<BR/><BR/>Even if the Japanese issue an apology what is the great big deal about it. Is it going to change the history or something, or is it simply for satiating the Chinese ego that they are the victimized ones.gorgutz headhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056084505641439109noreply@blogger.com
