Animosity towards Japan was fairly strong back in the 1980's. Then the reality of the 90's struck and it became clear that Japan isn't going to grow indefinitely. And I think the reality of a nation less than half the size of the US became apparent as well. And China is now here, so the focus is off of Japan. But I can guarantee you, had Japan kept growing economically and China stayed in the doldrums, animosity towards Japan would still be here and few would pay attention to China.
You must have missed this part. THIS is what Americans despise. Chinese people? Cool folks. Chinese government? Needs to be overthrown, and its leaders need to be executed for their crimes.
Ponder Life - will you EVER accept that the CCP is a bunch of thugs. You always keep blaming America for the communists’ excesses, murder, and filth.
Honestly - I can’t understand why the mods let transparent trolls like you and the other one post one propaganda point after another here.
