I don�t hate Japan or Japanese, but I do believe that sometimes they, because of their insular geography, demographic variables like overpopulation, a very few natural resources and their high standard of living, do not respect the natural resources of other countries. Of course this has to do with geopolitics and matters which concern governments, but finally each peoples is responsible for the type of government it has, and yes, I do agree, even though I am not Asian, that Japanese made many mistakes in WW2, motivated by imperialistic goals, and they have not made up for those mistakes. Hope to hear from some of you guys

Hello!
I�m Japanese. I�m studying at Nagoya University of Foreign Studies. So,
there are many teachers from foreign countries (U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and so on). But I don�t know China very much. I sometimes watched the news about Chinese wrongdoer in Japan on television. So I�m afraid of Chinese people in Japan. But my idea is wrong. Because I don�t know Chinese people, culture, history. My opinion may be prejudiceｄ.
I agree that we must respect and know each other.
I hope relations between Japan and China will get better. We had fought
a war. But now we should understand about true history. And we can
understand each other.
