Commenting about world events without the privilege of history is idiotic

'The worsening geopolitical climate, driven by what Japan perceives to be Chinese military expansionism, is a major factor behind Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's decision to pave the way for the country to acquire first-strike capabilities, analysts here have said.

 The above is the first paragraph of an article in the ST titled, 'The China factor behind Japan's defence moves' by Walter Sim. Any casual reader without the knowledge of history would think that China is an expansionist power and Japan is a poor and frighten little mouse. It is very sad that unthinking correspondents would write such an article typical of the American narrative to smear China as a rogue nation with expansionist design and ambition. Why would Asians be so empty in the head to just look at the present, with the American anti China vibes as the basis to comment about China and depicting China as a threat to other countries?

In the last 200 years, China had/has been the victim of western invasion and colonisation and with Japan as the most vicious and barbaric invader of China, expanding the Japanese Empire into China. When did China send its troops out of its territory in the last 200 years to justify the smear that China is an expansionist power, and poor Japan, the most aggressive and expanisionist power of the 19th and 20th Century being portrayed as a possible victim of Chinese expansionism, and its military buildup is justifiable and defensive in nature? The only reason for Japan to fear China, and for that matter Korea, is its devious record of invading both countries and colonising them and thus conscious that a day would come when the two victims of Japanese cruel military invasion would be avenged. The millions of people massacred in China and Korea by the Japanese, and their brutal and humiliating rule in both countries would never be forgotten, and the score would be settled one day.

How many silly Asians still accept the smear that China is an expansionist power when it was a victim of western and Japanese invasion and colonisation? The real expansionist powers were the Japanese and the West and with the Americans expanding all the way across the Pacific Ocean to the coast of China and with hundreds of military bases in Asia and the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Are the Asians so blind and so stupid not to see who is the expansionist power, the Evil American Empire in their midst, controlling their every move? Japan was the threat to China and Korea. Japan was and still is the threat, not the other way. Japan invaded both China and Korea, and the latter have not step foot into Japan. I really hope they will one day to avenge the massacres and cruelties inflicted against the people of the two countries.  The beastly and hypocritical Japanese got the cheek to call China a threat! The Americans should have dropped a few more atomic bombs in Japan during the end of WW2 to avenge Pearl Harbour and the millions of death in China and Korea and the rest of Asia.

The dispute in the South China Sea island claims is a distorted truth. Historically all the islands were discovered by China and part of China under the finder's keepers doctrine of discovery. The islands in the South China Sea were uninhabited when China discovered them and occupied them.  This is unlike the evil Christian Doctrine of Discovery of the West when they invaded lands that were occupied by natives eg the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, massacred the natives and claimed the land as theirs, the present America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and many islands in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Ocean. 

The claims by some Asean countries on the Chinese islands is the reversal of Chinese expansion but expansionism of the Asean countries involved.  They are claiming Chinese islands as theirs under a new UNCLOS law and applying it retrospectively against the historical claims of China on these islands. Get the facts right, these Asean countries only became countries after WW2.

When would silly Asians start to look at history a bit further and not history at the tip of their nose, ignoring what had happened 50 years ago, 100 years ago, a few centuries ago? The western truth and narratives are loaded to make the West appears to be right and China as the demon. The natives of countries seized by the white men from Europe have all the rights to reclaim their land from the whites stolen from them.

When would Asians start to think and not made to think by the white men and believe in their one sided narratives?

  1. Decades of propaganda have dulled the minds of those who believe in the MSM of the West. This is like 'Animal Farm' where the animals are indoctrinated to believe in 'two legs bad and four legs good' thing and that got stuck in their minds.

    Japan is always a sinister nation, harbouring sinister motives. Pearl Harbour bear out their nature of carrying out sneak attack while negotiation were going on, of which China must take note. Japan is the biggest threat to China in Asia today, besides India.

    In any case a first strike by Japan on China will not win them the conflict, because China is too big to be taken out by that first strike alone and retaliation will bring Japan their deepest regret because of their small size to be targeted.

  2. Haha.......
    The Banana Walther must be in his teen and have yet to read any history book thus far.
    The Main Stream or the Officially State-own Sin Media have many underqualified writers disseminating inaccurate fact and history. Some did it naively and pretending to be intellectuals. Others did it intentionally bcos of ideology and leaning.
    Either way,
    it is not going to change the Facts Of History.
    And as for the Future,
    these Pseudo Intellects do not matter much.
    The Enlightened Mass shall treat them as charlatans out to make a living or attempt to make a name for him/herself.
    A charlatan shall invariably and always prove him/herself to be a quack.

  3. Too much propaganda and lies can only work for a time. Then people will realise lies are lies and have to be taken with a spoonful of salt.

    Now many countries are skeptical of USA's actions on Iran. Perhaps Iraq opened their eyes to distorted news, propaganda and fake evidence. Now US sanctions on Iran have little support.

    For many elections, upgrading in Red Dot had been touted as increasing the value of flats. Then comes the realisation that no amount of upgrading will prevent HDB flats from turning to zero value at the end of 99 years. Now, that is no more a carrot to buy votes. The lie has been put to rest after several elections.

    The realisation probably started when the old man wanted to compare flat prices in PAP controlled wards against an Opposition controlled ward and that started the digging into the truth and people awoke to the myth of upgrading to enhance asset value of HDB flats. Some PAP controlled areas, despite upgrading, were found to be not better in value than Opposition wards. That lie was also put to rest. That was also when Aljunied first fell to the Opposition.

  4. But still many sinkies support jap war industry by buying mitsubishi aircons, hitachi fridges, toshiba TVs, toyota & nissan cars etc etc.

    For those of you ignorants, these industrial companies as well as many more, are part of the war companies of japan. They make war machines, weapons, electronics & IT systems, and R&D for the defense ministry.

    Similar to the ST group of companies in SG.

  7. Before the white invaded china, china was invading herself, killing own people, putting fear into own people, built stupid walls, put women in small shoes, put men in pigtails, killing off education etc.
    Its never about race.
    Its about ruling class vs working class.
    The ruling class wants you to believe its all about race to fight and die for them.
    But its to save their own skin and assets.
    Be wise and learn from history.

  8. China and Han Chinese suffered badly under foreign rules. The first was under the rule of the Mongols. The second was under the rule of the Manchus. The above atrocities and oppression were committed by the Manchus on the Chinese. Pigtails and small feet were imposed on the Han Chinese by the Manchus.

    The Han Chinese have long given up the primitive and tribal instincts of killings and wars. That was the primary reason why they were so easily invaded, conquered and ruled by the invaders.

    After the fall of the Manchus came the Europeans and then the Japanese. All exploited the docile and peace loving Han Chinese. Today, the Han Chinese have learnt their painful lessons of being weak and peace loving. Modern China is armed to the teeth and would not allow foreigners to invade and rule them again.

    It is important to understand the history of China and the difference between Han Chinese and invading tribes like the Mongols and the Manchurians. Do not simply treat them as synonymous to Chinese. They are not Han Chinese.

    1. The Manchurian has chosen to assimilate much of the Chinese Culture except keeping its tradition of the pigtail to preserve its native tradition. After the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus are now fully a part of the PRC.
      The Manchus were and are wise to choose a more enlightened culture.

  9. "Be wise and learn from history." Unquote.
    Aparently the Writer knows little about history and much less understands the Natures of Beings.

  10. China has 46 tribes, Mongolians and Manchurians are now one of these tribes. They are all Chinese citizens.

    During their respective rules, they do not see themselves as Chinese but Mongolians and Manchurians. The reverse assimilation of the Chinese culture came about after they lost their empires though along the way many Chinese cultures were gradually assimilated by them. Until their last days, they were still Mongols and Manchurians.

    The nationality of Chinese evolved over the years and is also a development of the modern nation state when China becomes a republic. While all the 46 tribes are now Chinese by nationality, when discussing history, it must be done from the historical perspective. What is now and then are two different things and must be treated in their proper context.
