Reply to comment by ChristopherGard0cki in Japan and China Connect Military Hotline to Reduce Tensions by bloomberg
The iron cross killed millions of people in the First World War and a slightly different looking version of it killed millions more in the second, I'm not sure where the angst about a centuries old motif comes from with the rising sun.
Before the current state of heightened tensions I recall that China had absolutely no problem with inviting Japanese ships to port calls and naval reviews in China, and allowing them to fly their naval ensign. If it was really as big an issue as reddit seems to make it out to be, I'd think it would spark more outcry at the national level.

Given how a breakup can be a precipitating event for self-harm in teens, this seems like a wise thing to do.

This philosophy has to have ties to a need to depopulate Earth. Also, what family are you talking about?

Some ppl are educated enough to keep their ire aimed only at the Japanese gov, but many Chinese still have an ethnic distrust for the Japanese. This usually does not prevent them from enjoying anime & sushi, however
Edit - For anyone that doubts me, my friend was called a “Japanese dog” by random strangers that he didn’t wrong in any way

I don’t know, I think he might say something like if you look at the equations then you can see that distance is not a relevant factor.

Not really ? The only way Ukraine would never be able to pay that back is if Russia goes gomme mode and nukes their way to Kyiv.
In which case, we have other issues.

Yea, but the USA also wanted germany to be strong Central European ally against the USSR. The iron curtain literally ran straight through the country, so I don’t see how the USA would have had a different outlook in this respect.

Actually, the status quo is unworkable in the long run. One of the things that will help save our bacon is the recognition that the rest of the family has rights too.

I think it's less about military strength/defeat and more that the US wanted a strong East Asian ally in the face of China and Russia. Lots of institutions were allowed to continue and they didn't try to change things too much day to day for Japanese people. It paid off and Japan had crazy economic growth at the cost of keeping the good/bad parts of their culture intact.
Whether or not a bloodbath ensued before total surrender, I would wager the US was more scared of China/Russia at that point. But who knows, it's never one thing or another in history. Too many factors.
