    Japan has shown their true colours and they’re not any better than the Americans. The only difference is time: the Japanese are broken, conquered imperialists.

      Japan has the same problem as the Americans too, an aging, voting population of xenophobic people that get what they want in elections because younger generations dont vote, dont care, or wont try to change anything.

      New PM recognizes the sovereignty of Taiwan and took a stance at helping them defend themselves if need be. China got big butt hurt as usual.

        Okay… And what have they told the people as a reason for Japan being dangerous? “The leadership of China is butthurt, therefore Japan is dangerous” is not the most logical sentence one can utter.

        It’s literally a part of China that was conquered by the Japanese and then by the Americans when they took over Japan. This is pretty straightforward.

    Yeah, certainly because of the Chinese and not because their government actively discourages tourism…
