    Default hi,friends,what do you think of china?

    I dont like Communist part,maybe you dont like. we chinese hope democratic. but some of your countries leader still support the Communist party and the leader,because Communist party can give them benefits. such as the companies which invest in china. we fell disappointed.

    I think they'll rule the world.

    I personally love Japan more.

    I've heard you guys don't like japanese girls as much as I do.

    That may be so, but you guys don't have samurais and gheisas.

    And they're just too cool for words.

    That invasion is not the only time japanese troops came to the mainland.

    Japan invaded Korea in the 1200's , I think, because they wouldn't let them reach China.

    back then , the Ming Empire saved Korea from colapsing.


    I wouldn't go so far as to say that half the japanese language is chinese in origin.
    Sure, there are similarities, but the Japanese are more related to the Mongols and the Ocean people then to the Chinese.

    Oh, why aren't you conquering the world yet?

    I thought young people in china want to do just that.

    the japanese still use a lot of chinese characters in their writing system and a case can be made for the level of chinese influence in japanese culture from zen buddhism to tea ceremonies and btw china had its own courtesan class as well

    young chinese dont want to conquer the world any more than young europeans or young australians

    Japan has three alphabets (one them being the chinese -- and they use all of the Chinese characters -- ( ca. 13,000)

    ZaZen Buddhism is the only form of Buddhism that is specifically Japanese. (At least as developed by Dōgen Zenji (道元禅師)) Zen or Chan comes originally from India anyway -- so it would be a Japanese and Chinese borrowing from India if anything (saying other wise would be like saying that the Chinese got all of modernity -- from the combustion engine to the computer - from Japan.) Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies are different -- as far as the Chinese court goes -- we could just claim that the whole world copied in from China (same goes for education, bureaucracy, standing armies, unified currency, census, etc. etc.)-- but that's not exactly true -- China did many things first - but Chinese Culture didn't influence everyone or every thing that came second.

    That having been said, there's no one in their right mind claiming that the Japanese didn't borrow heavily from the Chinese culture. But that was then, this now. (Otherwise all of Europe would be bowing to Greece and Rome still.)

    And finally, yes, the young chinese want ipods, abercrombie, surf boards, and fast cars, . . . toilet paper, soap and clean water too -- but we're not worried about the average chinese person -- we're worried about the people at the top. Consider this -- hardly at any time after the few week just after 9/11 did more than 50% of the U.S. support Both and his war, and for most of it, it was less than 40% and for the last year or more it has been less than 20% of the U.S. supported Bush and his war -- and people are still fighting and dying in that war - so the average person or even the majority of the people are not the ones we need to worry about, it's the one's with their fingers on the triggers that we need to worry about.

    well given that it's happened to what was supposedly the figurehead of democracy, i see little reason to worry more about the 'people at the top of CCP' than the ppl at the top of the USA or any other democracy for that matter.
    call me disillusioned or cynical but it's true.

    So in a possible world war 3, do ya think Japan will be with you or against you ?

    I don't know. If there are world war 3, japan will not stand with us. But I think if japan is too arrogant, he will be merged into china. You konw, Japan's land is too small. We china has 55 nationalities,does not lack a japan. But we hope peace with japan.

    Not in a ing 100 years mate.

    Anyway, it looks like a nice place I would like to got there to see the historical places but I will not miss Xinjiang. I think that makes China so special and I think I'll be visiting Japan in the future.

    Xinjiang is the minority nationality, but his land is very large. In china, han nationality is about 90%. xinjiang is a good place, his culture is different from han nationality,but we all like xinjiang’s music, it's beauiful.

    honestly, i don't think anything for china at the moment.

    I'm just a little bit afraid of comunism in general
    As history teached us, comunism is the biggest cause of killings
    millions in china, USSR, Cambodge

    Now, biggest part of this death was due to the "settlement" of comunism. But also somes were due to "keeping it". If things turns bad, so population manifestation, revolution .... that will be a huge massacre i think

    But i don't see china going in war against someone, exept maybe as a threath to their ressources

    If my informations are correct, I'm maybe wrong, China is very dependent of Iran .... how would china react if USA, go to make a crusade in Iran also ? (still if my info are correct and if i remember well)
