"What can we conclude from all this, apart from the already well-established fact that many Chinese people still have a Japan issue?"

are you that much of an ignorant Westerner who thinks they know better than everyone else? Japan basically tried to commit genocide in China during WW2 and NEVER APOLOGIZED for their actions even to the point of them trying to deny their atrocities and worshipping at those same war lords war shrines every year. .Would you say the same thing about Jews and the Holocaust if Germany never apologized or paid for their actions?

Just because Japan is now a western ally does not redeem them from their actions that they committed in China and Asia and NOT the west, the west does not get to dictate who to forgive and who not to.

Grow the fuck up and stop trying to pretend y'all are civilized high moral beings and pretend y'all did not do fuck up things to create the inequality of the world we see today. What a joke of a site, an "Asian " commentary site and not knowing relevant historical events for the region, typical stuff we see run by racist white men trying to rewrite history the way they want and excuse their allies.

Let's not kid ourselves, it wouldn't have been enough for the HK and PRC authorities.

“This demonstrated the discipline of local residents and the rule of law and order in the city. Had the incident occurred in a Western democracy, large-scale riots with massive destruction of public facilities might well have resulted.”

Not a fan of football, but watching this I think it’s an over-réaction . Perhaps Messi really was injured, and doesn’t feel well?!!! Why are those people being suspicious about everything and everyone…I guess that happens when the conscience is guilty lol.
