The comparison between China and Japan will move on historical symbols
The question of rivalry between Japan and China, and South Korea, but also suffers a worsening evolution , which shifts the focus on historical themes treated for propaganda purposes . It is worth remembering that to start this trend was Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe , who has visited , in official form, Yasukuni Shrine patriotic , which contained the remains of some Japanese war criminals , and this fact had aroused the ire of Beijing and Seoul, where the brutal Japanese occupation , which took place before and during the Second World War has left a vivid memory , full of indignation at the crimes committed in the population : a feeling that has never lessened , despite the passage of time and the many trade agreements , which allowed constant contact between these peoples. The erection of a monument in China, the author of the attack in 1909, the then Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito of Japan that caused his death , which occurred in China's Harbin station , caused a violent reaction in Tokyo. It must be remembered that Japan invaded Korea in 1910 , the year of the death sentence of the aggressor , with a brutal occupation lasted until 1945. Tokyo considers the bomber which was erected the monument , the Korean Ahn Jung- Geun , like a terrorist and the Chinese move is seen as a provocation, which can only affect the relations of peace and regional cooperation. In fact, the Chinese decision seems to go right in this direction , exacerbating the already difficult relations , but it is also understandable as a response to the provocation of the highest political authority Japanese, who paid homage to war criminals, who had carried out their own action on the territory Chinese. That apparently undertaken a war of nerves , which you do not understand the real purpose , other than to cause the other party with a continuously escalating effect of moves that seem more for the consumption to keep alive the rivalry between their respective populations , which does not seem too concerned ultimately with the question , because taken by many business relationships that have developed . However, at the level of government contention should not be underestimated in any way , or even at a social level , because if the majority of their social fabric has ongoing business relationships prosperous , there are pockets of nationalism pushed that adequately manned by institutional stakeholders , can cause an accident that would further raise a latent tension between the two countries now for the real question of rivalry : the disputed islands in the east China Sea . Beijing has sought to defuse reactions Japanese with excuses instead seemed tailor-made to increase the resentment of Tokyo. For China, but also South Korea , the monument would be a means of promoting peace in the region , being the symbol of the will to resist the invasion and war .
