China should never overlook the danger of the Japanese

This Victory Parade is all about the defeat of Japan. The Japanese are very uneasy that China is raking up a painful event for them and now calling countries not to participate by attending the parade. Most countries in South- East Asia suffered atrocities at the hands of the Japanese, and it is within their right and duty to commemorate the event. China has lodged a protest against Japan's action.

As I always say, China must be very careful about relations with Japan, which many are saying is China's most dangerous enemy. Japanese are sneaky and bound to resort to sneak attacks, just like Pearl Harbour, even when negotiations were ongoing in Washington. That sneak attack enabled Japan to carve out a short-lived victory that was to end its expansion agenda later. I think China is not unaware of Japanese behavior, a lesson regarding Japan's mode of carrying out sneak attacks.

Japan has now been pushed into a corner economically by China and is a dangerous animal, just like what caused it to resort to war in the past. The danger of the Taiwan issue now takes precedent over all other relationships, but China should never overlook the danger of the Japanese.

There is an old Chinese saying that I still remember - 'The Japanese may bow and appear humble in front, but behind their backs they carry a sickle'. Of course, carrying a sickle was a big weapon in the old days. Not today though.
