Yes just as you regarded native american as savages and called the eskimos or indians. Please we can continue this forever, so for the sake of avoiding an continuing argument we should regard the organized Japanese attacks against china as Piracy. .

Now now, since when did i ever call indians and eskimo’s as savages, please show me a post where I said that.

And to the chinese at the time the only Japanese is Pirates

don’t you think that it applies to japanese at this time too 😉

Historically Japan have always been hostile toward China, can’t really blame them having been so small of a mountainous country, glancing a wealthy neighbour

of course, since you insist on using history as a basis to justify your claims..we then bring up another thing you said

FYI we are only talking about the coastal area so please stay on topic! Can’t ignore the fact that Japanese were pirates!

so what’s the difference between a barbarian looting and pillaging a village versus a pirate looting and pillaging a village. besides.. some of them invaded China before WWII 😮 😉

I guess that means you’d have problems with them developing first strike capabilities eh?

You brought up the subject of the possibility other pirates.
I have to correct your views. FYI we are only talking about the coastal area so please stay on topic! Can’t ignore the fact that Japanese were pirates!

no shiet sherlock, no one ever denied the Japanese were pirates except your assumptions, which you tend to do. Of course it they were not the only pirates..

the Chinese seemed to have a hard time differentiating Koreans from Japanese and i quote

“”Ming Shi”, in the section on Japan, claimed that after first Ming Emperor Taizu quelled Fang Guozhen & Zhang SHicheng factions, remnant rebels fled to the islands in the sea and then harassed the coastal Shandong Prov. (There was no differentiation of Chinese rebels from Korean or Japanese pirates here. “Ming Shi”, in lumping Lin Daoqian’s banditry under Japanese pirates in Taiwan, pointed to the collusion between Chinese and Japanese. “

not to mention that the Chinese had their own sets of pirates, ever heard of General Zheng Zhilong? 😉

of course, some fail to look beyond one era and nation, to realize that ships with mal-intention came from other regions in other time periods, and i quote

“Emperor Daoguang decided that British must be punished for their pirate acts”

:rolleyes:

Chinese have a garason on it, Japan have nada
both PRC and RoC have forces in the Spratley.

so you admit that before the occupation of these rocks, it wasn’t populated? perhaps Japan should do the same then 😉

The Island Japan that claims only surface after the high tide! It’s nothing like the Spratley!

so you say that there are no rocks in the spratleys that are submerged during high tide? please, I’m dying to know which rocks/islands these are since you seem to know about every island.

Typo and sadly everyone makes mistakes…

sadly, you make many 🙁

Isn’t WW2 bad enough?It’s called world war for a reason! I think they killed more ppl in ww2 than in almost all of the conflicts china fought!

mind you both china and US never fought any real wars… it’s called police conflict.

but you said:

The US army is only effective in the gulf war because there wasn’t really any casulties… had some 10K soldiers died in that war than the US would have pulled out due to internal political pressure imposed by the populus.

and

Had the war lasted another 4 more years and the death toll rises dramatically, I believe the democrats would be in place of the republicans and end the useless war…

among others, so is it a war or is it a police conflict? stop flip flopping on me senator hallo!

in any case, stop avoiding the subject and answer the question.. how many armed conflicts with foreign nations had China had after the end of WWII and how many did Japan have? 😉

Canadians are special because we have both english and french living in the same country! Yet we still see some distinct confrontations. Europe is much worse off.

such as? if Haley was here, he’d smack you for mentioning Canada in such a degrading way
