I don't think the Chinese really hate Koreans and Japanese. Because I am Chinese and I don't anyone who hate them in real life. However sometimes when mentioning Japan, Chinese will become unpleasant because Japan invaded us before. But this kind of feeling doesn't prevent us being friendly to Japanese people.

agree with the upstairs, maybe he is one extreme example in our life, so please don't take it serious, and ,I think chinese people are always friendly to other nations. Wink

Hi,
I think the problem is that you can't always judge a whole thing from just a small part of it, meaning that it's wrong to make an impression on all Chinese from just a gamer. Different people hold different opinions. Personally,I think Korean & Japanese cultures are fascinating and captivative! I'm looking forward to taking a trip to both of the countries to experience true Korea and Japan!
Plus,I love Korean characters which are so beautiful,but may be hard to learn Confused

I hate nobody of you, ok?
But you should also think about it's really hard for the Chinese to forget Japan about the 2nd world war, that they invade us only for fuel.

yeah, like that. I don't mean that you should forget what happened because only if we remember history and be aware of our mistakes then we have a chance to make it better in future. for example you can't blame me for what happened with the jews in the concentration camps in germany. I'm German but I have nothing to do with these events. You can blame Hitler and Himmler and hess and Goebbels and whoever was in command but not the ordinary people who are now living in germany. Same goes for China and Japan I believe. That's my opinion, I think it would help. Don't you?

ps: okay, I must add, for me what happened in germany during the WWII is not comparable to when China was invaded by Japan. I know that there were also Concentration camps in Asia, but what happened in europe was absolutely unforgiveable. do you understand the difference for me?

Why there is war is because there is hatred. Why there is hatred is because somebody did something wrong in the past. The fact is, that anger here creates anger there, and so on. When a country has very very much anger, then it ends in a conflict.
But we don't see peace as a solution, we want revenge, and so it goes on and on.
We have to eradicate these silly reasons why war could happen.

One way of eradicating is diplomacy. That means talking and understanding. But I also think it would really hard to achieve this if that country had killed some of my grandpas before.

At least we could try to be friendly to each other, that helps very much and is very realistic.

I think every form of violence is bad.

First,i am a chinese girl.i never hate anyone in Japan.but i hate the nation ,Japan,i refuse to use any makeup made of Japan,and anything to be made by Japan.i live in north of china, most of people here
never forget the bloody history ,especially the nanjing massacre.Although what happened has passed,but
those words about it,those pictures that people were be buried alive always remind us of what ever happened.the people whose grandpas experienced that agony past and still survived also hate Japan and remember this part of history forever.
In addition, recent years the policy which Japan has taken for China is also disadvantage to us.I and my friends all think that Janese has not any sincerity to regret his action in the past at all,so it is impossible to forgive what Japan has done.Personally,i think Germany did well in this side,so he can be forgiven by the world.
Sure ,a person in Japan is not hatred but the country and the nation is so hatred,i don't know if everybody can understand me.
