I agree with the essence of your message. On the other hand, empathy (not sympathy) for the other side is necessary to gain some understanding of the other side. So, if we put ourselves in Blue's place, what is the primary condition of the SDF forum? It is the overwhelming ethos of pro-PRC posters, with no shortage of fanbois. So, it's easy to see why opponents or critics of China's civilization, policies, actions, and the ripples its reemergence has and continues to cast would be intensely alarmed.well @SamuraiBlue turns into something that shows his true colour ... thats always hapepnes when he is cornered ... very annoying ... hope the Mods will do something about it
Fearful people tend not to make the best decisions, and it's fair to say Japan fear the reemergence of China back to its traditional place. And guess what? It's not the only country that fears China's reemergence.
