Japanese minister calls China 'scary'
2005-04-12
Japan and China have continued a slightly less than diplomatic war of words today over their rapidly deteriorating bilateral relations.

At the weekend tens of thousands of Chinese protesters threw rocks, bottles, eggs and paint at Japanese interests in several cities.

Japan's Foreign Minister, Nobutaka Machimura, says he expects China to respond to Japan's demands for an apology and compensation for damage to Japanese property in China.

Trade Minister Shoichi Ankagawa also bought into the dispute, describing China as a "scary" country.

Meanwhile, the Chinese embassy in Tokyo has demanded that Japan protect Chinese citizens after what it says was a terrorist shooting attack on a building housing a branch of the Bank of China in Yokohama.

Japanese police say several BB pellets were fired at the building at the weekend in what may or may not have been an incident related to the Chinese protests.

#3  Imagine a Japan with one or two modern CVBGs, modern aricraft, well trained and nationalist Japanese fighter jockeys, coupled with their national tendency of unpredictability:

China would be changing their collectivized shorts hourly under those conditions.
