After the "rape of Nanking " among many other atrocities, war crimes, crimes against humanity and domesticated animals in general committed by Japan in WW2....China hopes and prays for a justifiable reason to level Japan and take the land for themselves. For good reason in this instance honestly. Google "rape of Nanking " but beware .. its as bad as anything the Nazis ever did...and worse than most. Wholesale rape, murder, mass graves and torture of men, women, and children alike.
Many have forgotten( or for the young folks never learned) that China was our ally against Japan in WW2....and they were anything but ready to fight. Pitchforks and shovels vs rifles and machine guns. They were slaughtered...and in many cases no mercy or quarter was given.
I hate China far more than Russia because they hate us and are a real threat to my kids futures and my country. But they owe Japan a serious azz whipping and are eager to oblige the Japs which other than their air force we have completely neutered post WW2 by treaty/unconditional surrender. I was happy to see the new US/AUS/JAP. Mutual defense treaties and agreements to provide them with our subs....they can greatly help us keep the ChiComs in check in the indo/pacific region
