Heh, that's fine. I don't know all that much about Japanese history either. It's all about what we actually study.
It's not just China's government that worries me, though. It's all the greedy Americans who cash in on the country because of its cheap and plentiful labor and all this obsession over "China" nowadays.
You can say the same thing about any country in the world. I can bet a good number of people are nervous over the Hamas victory in Palestine. While our society values human rights and freedom, we are also a capitalist society. That is often where our values as a nation comes to blow. It's either overthrow them to put a friendly regime in power or support the current one because it's the lesser of two evil in terms of economics. BTW, Google is the latest to join Microsoft's company in China.
