Japan is Pissing Everyone Off

Let me sum up the three events.

First Japan claims a group of islands, called the Takeshima(jp)/Dokdo(kr) islands, which South Korea also claims, so Koreans got pissed.

Second the Japanese government approves textbooks which somewhat glance over Japan's invasion of Manchuria during WWII, the murder of 300,00o and rape of 200,000 is called an "incident" in this book. So yeah, Chinese people got pissed. The schools still choose whether or not they want to use these books.

Third Japan has starting drilling in an oil field in the East China Sea which is of course disputed space with China, so China got pissed again.

Japanese stores, students, and people have been attacked in China. I've got to say, just burn stuff, leave the regular people out of it.

Tough times for Japan, they are just blowing it. They could have just stuck with whale hunting as their contraversy, nobody really cares about the whales.

I believe tomorrow will be public service announcement day.
