| #5 Japan bashing is a semi-professional political sport in parts of asia but it also has that beautiful love/hate dynamic due to the economics. |

| #4 By the same token, the Japanese often seem to have little or no conception of the influence of what they did as a nation from the 1930's through 1945. Very true, but I often wonder if this is just political agitation on the part of the Chinese to deflect their population's attention from things happening in the here and now. |

| #3 The potential economic impact of this stuff is probably not fully appreciated by the Chinese given the dysfunctional nature of their government. By the same token, the Japanese often seem to have little or no conception of the influence of what they did as a nation from the 1930's through 1945. |

| #2 Replace "allow" by "order"... Reminds me of what the Nazis called "gesunden Volkszorn" (sane fury of the people). We know where this went... That said I don't approve the Japanese way of ignoring their history. Calling the "Rape of Nanking" an "incident", for example. |

| #1 China could cost itself a lot of foreign investment in the years ahead if it lets this get out of hand. Every corporation that sets up a production facility in China will now have to worry about when the Chinese government will have a tantrum over some foreign policy issue and allow that facility to be destroyed by rampaging Chinese mobs. |
