China Looks Ridiculous nonetheless Reminds the World of Nationalism

The Chinese people have made a tremendous effort, especially within the last week, to protest everything Japanese. Chinese are protesting against school textbooks they say whitewash Japan's wartime atrocities in China, against Tokyo's bid for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, and on other disputes. Here's the deal... Japan was an Imperialistic country about sixty years ago. Their militaristic nature allowed the island country to obtain resources and raw materials found almost everywhere but in Japan. Their conquests were abruptly halted when they made the epitome of mistakes and attacked the United States. Americans came together, as only we can, and eventually nuked two Japanese cities which, in the course of two days, ended World War II in a blinding, hot flash of fuck you... this is for Pearl Harbor. Ever since 1945, Japan has been ordered and subsequently adopted the notion of not having a full military. Their constitution, unchanged since 1947, allows only for a small defense force. Here is an excerpt from Chapter II:
Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the
Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the
threat or use of force as a mean of settling international disputes. (2) In order to accomplish
the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential,
will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

Well now, don't we feel a little stupid? No, war is not a good thing to think about.. but neither is going to the bathroom, yet it will still always happen. Conflict is within human nature, it's a survival tool. Anyways, Japan is now like a frog as opposed to a snake. But the frog still wants to hop around and refuses any notion that it was ever a snake. The frog even writes books about how it's always been amphibious. I'm sure we all feel that the frog has become a major world player and a technological genious, however, we all remember the snake.

China, up until about the last fourty years or so can be seen as a dragon's egg. The snake wanted the egg before it could hatch and a dragon would grow. It was a bit too eager though and got eaten by an Eagle clasping a set of arrows. The dragon eventually learned to breathe fire in 1964 and since 1949, has been governed by a ridiculous set of laws it learned from a bear up north. The body of the dragon now is trying to at least maintain order with its head. It has been a bit confused since 1991 when it lay witness to its mentor, the bear, commit suicide, yet the dragon's body has nearly doubled since then.

Sorry, I got a little carried away with the analogies. China is essentially like the United States, but in fast forward... so fast in fact that the tape has been a little screwed up. The Chinese people mean well, but how can you protest a country that's in such a better position economically and culturally. Why not just ban the textbooks. I mean, if you depend on Japan that much... it's kind of pointless to be chanting, "kill all Japanese". And who would have ever thought that China would even be a member of the U.N. let alone a permanent security council member. You should be thrilled to have such respect from the rest of the world, and not condeming another nation out of jealousy. Basically, both countries have so much to be proud of and both share an equally promising future. Too me, the Chinese look ridiculous as protesters... it's really a joke. Just the same, Japan was almost asking for it.

All said, it's probably a good thing that Japan doesn't maintain a military, because if conflict broke out... to put it bluntly, they would be crushed, without even a breath of fire. By the way, the eagle took a flower from the dragon and doesn't want to give it back, for it should have never belonged to the monster in the first place. Free Taiwan!
