When people think of "controversy" they might think of politics or scandal. I found a recent article on the relationship between China and Japan as how journalists see it as of this year. The controversial opinions that each country has of one another are out of proportion and many see this as a nearly unobtainable mutual friendship.
The analysis of the article by
The Diplomat, highlights the history of Chinese-Japanese relationships. The current relationship between China and Japan wasn't always this way. Even after World War II, and through the gruesome events incurred by the Japanese on the Chinese, the tensions were nearly non-existent. Once the Japanese started erasing history from their textbooks of the occupation of China, and their blasting of China's radical communism, the Chinese people started to resent their relationship with Japan and cut most ties with them.
From this article we can tell that the author is pro-Chinese; telling from his opinions and especially from the tab towards the top of the article that reads, "CHINA POWER." Author, Xie Tao wants the Chinese people to read his article and protest against the Japanese; wanting them "to apologize -- verbally or in written form."
Coming from Asian decent, this article interested me and my background.
