Hardly bigotry, there will always be many that will turn on their countrymen for personal gain. See as all those funds are sucked out of China and into gated Chinese compounds in Canada etc.

Urgh… yeah, I’m sure your bigotry and hard-on for imperialism make you an infinitely better human being than the car-overturners.

The thing that annoys me is that the Chinese media is ALL OVER THIS because it’s a protest against EVIL IMPERIALIST JAPAN and we need to try and understand that FEELINGS ARE RUNNING HIGH over the Senkaku dispute.

But, when Wukan was surrounded by a thousand police officers trying to starve out the villagers… Hot DAMN, everything is SO HARMONIOUS!

I would be pretty pissed if I went shopping and came back to discover my car was trashed. I bet half these people were hired by BYD/Geely.

Looks like they really went amok in Shenzhen… Well I for one would like to see more wanton (wonton?) destruction of vehicles paid for by those protesting! Destroy Wujing, PLA and Gong An vehicles to the death!!!

Wonder what column this fits in for auto insurance purposes?

“Even if China is covered with graves, we must kill all Japanese.”

Yeah, like that worked out so well the last time China tried.

No country that has anything truly to be proud of continuously proclaims their humiliation and focuses foreign policy of a long past war. Chinese people’s continual eruption of issues involving Japan isn’t so much a side effect of nationalism, but that of a cowardly and backward people who lack any degree of self confidence. If we could compare the average Chinaren’s psychological makeup to that of the Columbine Shooters, I’m sure they’d be indiscernible one from the other. In the end China will get what it deserves. “Little” Japan and “Little” Britain put put the bloated China behemoth in its place before and someday they or another “little” country will do it again.
