Why do Chinese people take offense when they hear how good of a country Japan is?

[Objection]

I was at a Chinese restaurant when the earthquake hit Japan and the cooks were cheering at the tv. That's a deep rooted beef.

Can Chinese people tell whether another Asian person is Chinese or Japanese and vice versa just off appearance ?

i would like to know this as well.

Asked this question several times, found out some people can tell by small things like "single vs double" eyelids, dress style, etc, but not usually.

As bad as they sound, how come Japanese are more accepting of other people as opposed to China who has a lot of behavior going on

I think its one of those cultural things where a country in essence attempts to purify itself of its historical wrongs by going in the complete opposite directs

Individual human beings do it too

I think they can all tell each other apart. Kinda like how you can tell whether or not somebody is from your city.

To an outsider it might not be obvious but you know.

They massacred a ton of Chinese
Think of them as inferior

The so-called "Rape of Nanking" has gone into the annals of history as one of the most shocking incidents in modern history. Its senior officers allowed the Japanese army to ransack Nanking murdering tens of thousands as they went. The final death toll for Nanjing has been put as high as 250,000. The Guomintang leader, Chiang, had to establish a new capital in Chongqing.

News to me

Talk to any black dude that's been in the military and been to Germany. They'll tell you.

My father was in the Air Force and has traveled every inch of the globe for free basically (which I'm jealous of) and even he told me Germany was straight.

non-Japanese Asian people hear that almost daily. Like you, they think the country is accepting but their guarded nature against foreigners 'gaijin' is historical.

With that said I want to visit Japan.

A Japanese dude told me that they are salty because they got colonized by a fellow Asian nation. He reckoned that if the Koreans and Chinese were colonized by the Europeans they would not have as much vitriol about textbooks and shrine visits.

The British, the Dutch and the French colonized China...No problems now ofcourse

Japanese are extremely xenophobic

I overheard some kids from China talking to white kids at my college and they were insulting white/Western culture, then I heard them say they have no problems with black people at all (I'm assuming the white kids interjected with some shyt, but I didn't hear), but hate Japanese people.. I was cause I had never really heard of that beef.

I wasn't taught about racial/nationalistic tensions around the globe in school except for the problems involving Germans in Europe and us in America. North Korea/South Korea is common knowledge, but Asian history is glossed over for the most part.

You should have trolled her more though.

During those days, the Japanese were just as bad as the Nazis. Read up on unit 731

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

Here's one sample:

Prisoners, including one known POW,[17] were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.[18] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.[19] The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.[20]

Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss. Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body. Some prisoners' limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen, then thawed to study the effects of the resultant untreated gangrene and rotting.

Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines. Parts of the brain, lungs, liver, etc. were removed from some prisoners.[18][21]

In 2007, the Japanese army surgeon Ken Yuasa testified to the Japan Times that, "I was afraid during my first vivisection, but the second time around, it was much easier. By the third time, I was willing to do it." He believes at least 1,000 people, including surgeons, were involved in vivisections over mainland China.[22]

Nanking Massacre is another one. During their occupation in Korea, they tried to wipe out the Korean culture and impose Japanese culture on everyone. Japan back then isn't the 'quirky', 'weird', 'funny' Japan that it is represented as today. They were very brutal.
