This article is about how China is sending millions of dollars in order to help Japan out. It talks of some of the younger generation and how they are grateful, but then also talks about how there are still deep feelings of hate towards the Japanese. I myself am surprised that China is helping the Japanese after everything that happened.

I'm also surprised that China is giving so much money to Japan due to the animosity the Chinese people of the previous generation carry. Their donations are a good sign that the rift between China and Japan may heal one day.
ReplyDeleteChina's animosity towards Japan is complicated and potentially dangerous, but this flow of aid is evidence at least that all of China does not despise the Japanese.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above statement, perhaps this is proof that the two nations might one day put aside their differences.
