The perspective of China learned from the WWII is slightly different than the rest of S.E.A. and Western countries. It actually goes much deeper than 1941. Perharps it goes as far as 1894 where Japanese soldier defeated Chinese resistance at pyongyang.
2nd World War in the Far East was not One War, But Two Wars.
China view the war started in 1931 - 1937. As compared to Dec 1941. Japanese offiensive against Manchuria. 1931- 32, Thereafter encroachment onto China Terroritory and fought all the way until Japanese surrender.
Interesting. You do know alot abt history and culture. My wife told me that Chinese consider North Korea as part of China and hence their defence against foreign intruders.

well i won't said that they considered N.K as part of their statehood, but they know thru History that Northern corridor is a risk. It is not only a buffer from Japan, Korean nationalism, but also from russia and since the cold war from the americans.

than you should go back and support your homeland.
my homeland is already very well supported by the US of A, and also there are also lots of beauty and handsome hunks to support it, so, other than buying Acer to support Taiwan IT, i think if i go back, in term of looks, i still cannot make it as good as in Singapore.
In fact, Jap had colonised both we and koreans for nearly 1/2 a century, we are more or less having their way of life, looks and genes. So, it is not bad if we will to be united again. And we can do it, because we are somehow, one race people.
Just imagine, Once jap, taiwan, the whole korean is united, their economy, intellectual and military is going to be one of the strongest in Asia, by that time, Singapore will not be able to compete with us anymore.

That is the main concern.
China doesn't want that, the USA doesn't want that.
i beg to defer. japan dun need a valid reason for nuclear. no they dun. they just have to do it if they wanted to.

I agree with Stevenson, japan now can hide behind the US nuclear umbrella because of the threat from north korea. Once Korea is united, and become ally of the US, and probably China, japan will feel uneasy, and this will push them to consider building their own nuclear power.
but I have doubt about a united korea, unless north korea melt from within. I know for sure the south korean, especially the younger generation, don't really want to be united with the north, it is a burden to them.

sweet. should be woman,
really! Thanks
I know very well the Chinese despise the Korean (cause I am living in Shangdong and this dislike is caused partly by the behaviour of the Korean in this part of the country.) Neverthesless, it is also due to the culture and industrial pratices of the Korean that agitated the Chinese. (eg they treat the Chinese workers badly with mistrust and abuses). Many Korean companies deserted the plants overnight and leave the employees hangging.
Lastly, in business, the Korean trade only with their own ppl. Hence Chinese was very unhappy.
So why would PRC continue to side by NK? Actually, Chinese find them irriating and problematic, given a chance, they will simply ignore them and leave them to the American or Japanese. Unfortunately, if NK is in trouble, they will hold the Chinese at ranson for food and supplies. Even with refugees. So PRC bobian...have to continue act as big brother to NK. On the otherhand, if you travel to NK (that I have been once), they also dont trust the Chinese because historically, China has invaded them and will do so given the opportunity (actually, most of the Korean are descendent of the Mogolian) they would rather side with the American, like the South Korean.
I guessed with history, wars btw neighbour are so often that countries will not trust each others. (like the Thai and the cambodian or even Sg and Malaysia). Chinese have more problems because of their continued communist believes and historical past, also culturally, Chinese is not accepted and trusted by their neighbours.
So to balance all the elements of powers, Jpn, Russian, USA etc etc...NK will be the Labanist of the east one day.
I wonder korean unified first or China?
well , let keep teh status quo at present, it is good isnt it....no conflict , no war . no hurt.
