    Yes, in the same way Iran etc.'s control over oil is scary.

    Except this shit is considerably more rare, and potentially like... exponentially more valuable.

    the whole being occupied by the Nazis thing didn't help. Russia had more civilian dead than military

    Chinese estimates are all over the place given their poor record keeping but even the highest don't approach the USSR's some 23, 24 million dead

    Well, the Nazi's certainly tried to occupy Russia but the Russian military's willingness to halt their advance by throwing as many snow encrusted corpses in their way as possible kinda made the difference I think.

    Huh, i thought the starvation caused by the Japanese blockade killed significantly more than those who died in Russia (who had by far the most warfare casualties)

    if you're talking about starvation, didn't The Great Leap Forward ended up killing some 30 million people anyway

    Who needs war to kill civilians?

    lolz yeh The Great Leap forward led to more civilian deaths than the war with Japan

    but calculating Chinese war dead is extremely difficult (just never seen a reputable study that put them past the USSR's 25ish million gold standard) since you are right archi most died as a result of starvation stemming from both Japanese policies and the total collapse of governance in much of China as the nationalists & communists maintained their civil war during the struggle + local opportunistic warlords jumped at the opportunity for greater autonomy. complete chaos across the land

    Demonstrations have gone full nationalistic retard. Fires set, cars smashed, etc.

    Album of the day's events.

    I get the feeling the Chinese government isn't trying all that hard to curb the violence.

    The Chinese government incites hate towards the Japanese, so that's no surprise. Not to say they aren't rightfully pissed about some historical aspects.

    This is a good opportunity for the Chinese gov to deflect from the political scandals of the party elites (the murdering wife and the joy riding son)

    It's the December 21, 2012 boiling point we're reaching now. World's going to shit with protests for the most asinine reasons, climaxing with Jesus's return for the rapture. I for one welcome our new(returning) Alien Overlords.

    How again does burning their own peoples cars hurt japan? Sucks for japans car manufacturers but in the long run they are screwing over their own people to funny.

    I guess will see where this goes. really I sorta do want japan to keep that if it truly does have the rare earth metals. Just for the fact that tech prices might drop if they held some of the cards in it.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    World's dun gone crazy.

    I can't imagine this would escalate very far. I highly doubt the Chinese gov't would do anything, and Japan's allotment of military action is severely limited.

    According to this article, Rolex (Swiss) and Christian Dior (French) stores have been victims of looting, and this article shows a Samsung (Korea) store being set on fire and looted.

    So yeah. It's not really about Japan, it's really about looting. From their own people. Sad.

    Reminds one of the London Riots, no?
