This is another sad example of how badly Chinese need to educate themselves
politically!

The issue at hand here is for Chinese PEOPLE to demand Japanese GOVERNMENT
to apologize and offer meaningful compensation to Chinese innocent victims
who were slaughtered and raped brutally during Japanese Military invasion
of China in WWII.

Let me make it simpler for "slow to catch on" individuals:

Who demands apology and compesation? Chinese victims PEOPLE.
           (NOT Chinese GOVERNMENT! Damn it.)
Who do they (Chinese victims) demand apology and compensation from?
       Japanese GOVERNMENT.  (NOT Japanese PEOPLE! Damn it.)

The author of the above article seems to confuse as to "who demands what
from whom" facts. "Japs" is an American racial slur invented and used only
by Americans during and after WWII to insult Japanese. For you, a supposedly
Chinese to use this slang to addresss Japanese people is a "politically
incorrect" insult to Japanese people as nation. And THAT is an indication
of your political immaturity!

Japanese people suffer NO LESS than Chinese people during the war initiated
by the Japanese GOVERNMENT in the name of then Emperor Hirohito. They are
also the victims of the Japanese Military Government. They are to be 
sympathied, cared for and loved in the same way as Chinese victims are.

Don't fall into traps of tricking netters to mix different issues at once
here: What Chinese government had done to Chinese people NOW has nothing
to do with Chinese victims murdered by Japanese Imperial Army during WWII.
As matter of facts, BOTH Chinese Governments, Nationalist (KMT) and current
one in China, don't give a damn to the loss and suffering of those victims!
It is up to you, ordinary Chinese people, to demand for justice.

If Chinese don't take action NOW, nobody cares!

If Japanese criminal Government kills Chinese, shame on Japanese Government.
If Chinese don't make Japanese Government pay for it crimes, shame on Chinese.
