Okay, why were the Chinese warned not to go to Japan?

My money is on the new PM

miseducator@lemmy.world on 18 Feb 12:07 collapse

New PM recognizes the sovereignty of Taiwan and took a stance at helping them defend themselves if need be. China got big butt hurt as usual.

It’s literally a part of China that was conquered by the Japanese and then by the Americans when they took over Japan. This is pretty straightforward.

And yet, today, Taiwan is a sovereign state and wants to keep it that way, which is the only thing that matters here. This is pretty straightforward.

Are you using words without knowing its meaning?

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 18 Feb 21:01 collapse

are you judging words without knowing their meaning?

Tuuktuuk@nord.pub on 18 Feb 21:13 collapse

Okay, so, are you saying that Taiwan does not have its own government that decides about its things?

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 18 Feb 22:02 collapse

no, i’m saying taiwan is controlled by western interests. not very unlike my own country.

Tuuktuuk@nord.pub on 18 Feb 22:14 collapse

So, in your own country you don’t have a government that decides about what happens in your country?

miseducator@lemmy.world on 18 Feb 22:52 collapse

Jackass tankies just can’t help themselves when someone mentions Taiwan being a self-governing body. Get a life and maybe try a lobotomy.

Tuuktuuk@nord.pub on 18 Feb 21:14 collapse

Okay… And what have they told the people as a reason for Japan being dangerous? “The leadership of China is butthurt, therefore Japan is dangerous” is not the most logical sentence one can utter.

Ok, we can cancel the sakura event cancellation due to “misbehaving tourists” now, right??

PP_BOY_@lemmy.world on 18 Feb 12:33 next collapse

Dont worry Japan! Im going back in a month just tryna get my chedda up

dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de on 18 Feb 13:39 next collapse

Yeah, certainly because of the Chinese and not because their government actively discourages tourism…

ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml on 18 Feb 16:00 next collapse

I wonder if our extremely xenophobic new PM will affect tourism and population age

Japan has shown their true colours and they’re not any better than the Americans. The only difference is time: the Japanese are broken, conquered imperialists.

Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world on 18 Feb 17:33 collapse

Japan has the same problem as the Americans too, an aging, voting population of xenophobic people that get what they want in elections because younger generations dont vote, dont care, or wont try to change anything.
