A Long Memory

Red Chinese are absolutely irate at Japan. They are attacking Japanese businesses, interests, and even individuals on Mainland China. Some media reports indicate the hostility has been engendered by the purchase of some uninhabited islands by Japan that had been claimed by both nations. Other reports indicate that the Chinese authorities have ginned up hostility against the Japanese to deflect from their own deficiencies and an economic downturn plaguing China. All these contentions are valid but the main reason Chinese would assail Japan is the collective memory of the atrocities (such as the Rape of Nanking and the medical massacre perpetrated by Unit 731) Japan inflicted on millions of innocent Chinese before and during World War II.
