Postcards From A Furious China
Over the past 48 hours we have written much, describing the perfectly expected surge in nationalist fervor and anti-Japanese sentiment, as the Senkaku Islands Snafu hits its boiling point - a Japan whose GDP is now declining in real terms, whose economy has been crippled by years of deflation, whose infrastructure is impaired due to anti-nuclear power sentiment, and one which generally can not afford an all out diplomatic, political and economic conflict with China, and may thus ask itself: why escalate and just who prompted it do so now? A Japan whose economic status is best summarized with the following chart:
Instead we'll let the pictures do the talking.

A banner on a store called pattad reads: "pattad firmly defends China's right to the Diaoyu Islands. / We will give a 15% discount to customers who yell THE DIAOYU ISLANDS BELONG TO CHINA! in the store / We will give a 20% discount to customers who yell JAPAN ALSO BELONGS TO CHINA!"

So..... the question remains: Whodunnit?
This would be a good time for Japan to ask Russia to return the islands taken at the end of WWII ?

Might be time for Japan to deploy nukes, which they can do within a year.
How are those burning buildings still standing?
If they were like WTC7, they'd have collapsed way before reaching the stage captured in those pictures. Hell, according to the official story, just the smoke from those fires should level a modern 47 story tower, neatly within its own footprint, of course.
I don't see riots. I see economic stimulation.

Chinese is an acroym, which means
C - Cheating
h - hypocritical
i - idiotic
n - nasty
e - egotistic
s - stupid
e - evil
Those characteristics pretty well describe the majority of humans everywhere on earth. The problem isn't with "chinese", the problem is with "mankind", and their inability and unwillingness to identify the root of their problems, no matter where they live, namely:
predators DBA government
predators DBA central banks
predators DBA large corporations
PS: Also, talk about getting all upset over something rather trivial in the overall scheme of things, while massively more egregious horrors are subjected to everyone around the world on a daily basis.
Did it ever enter the minds of the leaders of Japan or China that losing lives over uninhabited islands make no soense?
It appears there is plenty of outrage on the streets.
Wouldn't it set an example if one of the countries gift wrapped those islands and gave to the other country as a peace offering?
Naw, I am being foolish. Too much selfishness in the world to make a gesture like that.
Wait till they find out those islands don't belong to either of them.
And guess what folks...
The next Chinese leader is a war hawk...
And now the Japanese opposition is going crazy.
http://www.japantoday.com/category/politics/view/5-ldp-candidates-in-2nd...
5 LDP candidates, in 2nd debate, push for hard line with ChinaFive candidates vying to lead Japan’s top opposition party, and possibly become the next prime minister, are calling for Japan to get tough with China in an escalating territorial dispute.
They called for Japan to bolster its control of disputed East China Sea islands, saying they are Japan’s inviolable sovereign territory. They also discussed Japan’s sagging economy and its plan to phase out nuclear power.
Analysts believe the LDP could win big in upcoming parliamentary elections. If it does, whoever wins the party leadership race could become Japan’s next prime minister.

He's still missing, is he not?
Nope.

Nope. Students and independant journalists.

What does it matter to you if he showed up this week or will show up in a month?
http://asiancorrespondent.com/89423/chinas-presumed-next-leader-reappear...
It's according to the state press but I saw reports from western journalists in China who talked to students who were at Xi's university speech...
This guy in particular is a correspondant in China from ITV News from the UK. I don't think he's making it up.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter at all if he's out of hiding for real or not.
Rally on bitchez! Rally on!!!
This will basically be a non-event come 2:00pm EST when the markets pop another hyper-inflationary boner.
Chinese stir nationalism when ever they have internal issues. This is condoned and supported by the government to distract the sheeple.
Plus Chinese tend to be pretty racist in a ''we are superior'' sort of way. Everyone is a ''foreigner'' - when two Chinesee are talking in Chinese in the USA about an American - the American is usually referred to as the foreigner.
Time for that Chinese boycott!!!
Because they falsely believe they discovered the New World first. Go figure!
China leaders, afraid of the collapsing collapse, struggles to find a scapegoat to divert attention.
Look for anti war Obama (I know, only in words, he is actually every but as warmongering as bush) to stirs up the post I. Mideast to divert our attention for our economy.
they'll burn an innocent person's jap car but if one of their own chinese babies is run over by a chink in a truck they could care less.
The great China success story in action. Want those pricks to run the show?
2 YEAR OLD GIRL RAN OVER IN CHINA - Baby ignored by 18 Chinese left to die in street! Yue Yuehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFjdMKJVkzQ
That's an awful video. I just can't imagine... It almost seems so ludicrous that it can't be real. Judging by the comments after the video we have some real stupid people in this world.
Maybe their mad about Dollar General's decision to stock American goods.
But if Dollar General starts selling American goods, won't it then be the Ten-Dollar General?
Everyone is overreacting to this event. The US and it's great leadership from the White House will step in and resolve this conflict. Hillary is making plans to speak with the Chinese and Japanese leaders tonight. Then, Obama will do clean up work. Problem solved.
There is/are very few things I like/enjoy, in my life "AKAK"! You take{ precedent)
US "citizenisms" are easily-led sheeple? Damn, we're mere posseurs.
The women in the red car on the cellphone---if the photo had been more clear---would (sadly) be of Pulitzer quality.
The irony is that, this whole freakin deal is over the DIAOYU ISLANDS!!!
Just imagine what will happen when the Chinese assume ownership of Maui, Lanai, Oahu, Hawaii & Molokai.
Obama will be there to support Hawaiian independence and to make friends with the Chinese.
Then, the Hawaiian independence (de-occupy) movement will know what it's REALLY like to be colonized.
If the Chinese take over Hawaii ... does that make Obama ineligible for the Presidency?
IF the popular sentiment is genuine anger at Japan (versus CCP-orchestrated propaganda), then it will be interesting to observe the conduct of various PLA Generals if the CCP civilian leadership fails to take "appropriate" action against Japan in accord with the wishes of "the people".
Also, ZH readers may find the following information to be of interest as regards a rapidly changing (devolving) China:

This kinda reminds me of the Falklands War. David and Goliath hissy fitting over resources.
TAIPEI, Taiwan: Two Taiwanese coastguard ships on Thursday set sail for waters near a disputed archipelago in the East China Sea, officials said, amid an ongoing territorial row among Taiwan, China and Japan.
The move came after Japan announced on Tuesday that it had completed its planned purchase of the islands, which are known as Senkaku in Japanese and are also claimed by Taiwan and China.
Taipei has recalled its envoy to Japan to protest the Japanese move while Beijing has dispatched two patrol ships to assert its sovereignty following the purchase.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/1225794/1/.h...
The Taiwanese, Koreans, Philippino's and just about everyone in Asia dislikes the Japanese (mainly for WWII atrocities). I can hardly wait for the markets to open .....
By the way, where are the tanks? looks like a government backed riot, I dont see cops or military crushing skulls
good point
The Japanese should put those cars through a little test drive at the fukishima parking lot before they ship.

As Greece's government wrestles with the prospect of more austerity, anger and fear are darkening the streets
For the first time in living memory, military personnel took to the streets alongside police officers, fire brigade officials, teachers and doctors as Greeks vowed to resist further pay and pension cuts that have already led to plummeting living standards.
This week, before a general strike scheduled for 26 September – the 17th this year – judges will walk off the job, shaking one of the central pillars of Greek society.
Nearly three years into the debt crisis, the mood among Greeks has shifted from one of bewilderment and shock, borne of seeing their seemingly robust economy collapse almost overnight, to fury and fear as poverty and panic spread.
Increasingly, ordinary people are speaking of "blood being spilled" and even "civil war". full story:http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/sep/16/greek-protests-menacing-n...
HOLLY SHIT!!! is this a planned provocation by loosing economies ??? this war will bog-down the PLA in a stupid naval war and allow the west murder anything in the middle east. will protests force the chinese government to engage in that ?
Didn't you know, China killed off it's intellectual class in the cultural revolution.
That's why these Chinese people are burning down the Japanese restaurants owned by Chinese people. They ain't too smart !
You really think any of those restaurants are owned by Japanese people?
I wouldn't know --- they all look the same to me.
Er you a stalkr?
Lol (killin' me) roundeye...+1.. even though samurai blood runs through me veins,
and on mom's side a true Edo-ite.
I do hope that the underlying sarcasm of such posts of mine come through, and just for the record, I would like to state that I do NOT have an ounce of racial or ethnic prejudice in my entire body, and that any comments of mine that appear to spread such sentiments are purely in jest, or else merely a mocking reflection of the prejudiced and bigoted comments of others. All the peoples of the earth deserve equal respect from all others. Well, except of course for the niggers.
No need... I grew up on Long Island (snarky wise guy).
Identified the (dry) humor right off...truely lol (heard it many times)...
hey wait aminute, that's a bit much dude!
This is what I find amusing. Not unlike the L.A. or NY riots. The indigenous population is destroying the property of the indigenousness population which purchased it and services them. A Chinese guy owns a Toyota or Sushi shop and his countrymen destroy it in rage against a population not in their area.
I suppose it shows directly the sheeple mentality. Act on emotion without thought. Kinda like trading I guess.
Almost as priceless as a Master card commercial.
that's not unusual. this has happened in all totalitarian societies. the Nazi Germany, the communist Russia, the Mao china...
Maybe if China invades Japan they will actually do something about Fukushima... instead of pretending like it didn't happen.
I doubt it but nice sentiment. And yes I think the extent of Fukushima fallut has not even begun to be reported yet (and maybe never will).
No, they won't. PLA is talking about planning to be streaming the Rapre of Tokyo as I am typing.
Sounds like a good excuse to put China down.
If we don't do it now, it will be too late later; sad, but true.
You think they hate Japan; who is Japan's #1 ally?
U.S.A. is next for China hatred; them and the Muslims - wake up folks.
the you see a short guy giving a crazy speech in a Munich brewery scenario, eh?
that is not right.
The openig of the Beijing Olympics was enough to convince me.
I hope the proxy wars don't slow down toaster production.
the value these islands represent to the political class (govenrment) for stirring up national pride, is far more valuable than it is for it's oil/fishing rights.
there are a shit ton of islands in the south china sea and in the east china sea. theyve always been disputed, and yet, for most , very few people live on these islands because they're worthless and small and isolated.
is senakuku going to be a strategic military base. no. are the jap boats near this island going to get a little harrasment from sinese fishing boats and navy ...sure, but so what. this is not the falklands.
just another shit ass island in the pacific.
the real island is taiwan . and the beauty of all this shit stirring is the the taiwanese nationalists will are being served a silver flaming birthday cake by the chinese reaction to the japanese action. you can bet your asses the real winners here are the taiwanese nationalists.
still, at the end of the day. if world war three happens, i worry about almost every country using tactical nuclear weapons against our air craft carriers. would not be a pretty sight. i think the aegis system is still pretty much totally untested in actual REAL conditions. and its hard to imagine a fucking air craft carrier avoiding a direct hit from a supersonic missile let alone survivng the nearby blast from a 10kt nuke detonated within 500 meter. it's possible. doesn't seam likely.
Any surface navy is an anachronism. One missle to rule them all.
Tacnuke against carrier group is a bad gamble, antisub nuke torpedo has a much better chance of success.
with U6 at 20% I won't be surprised if Barry gets involved in this Asian conflict. Everyone's GDP needs a boost and a war-4-all can provide that in a hurry.
All just part of Chinese 'election' process happening in China now. Get people really ticked off at 'foreigners' so ruling party can ascend to power as rescuers. This has been going on for 4000 years.
I'm not sure if it is part of regular scheduled regime change. I know there is one coming up soon. But I think the game has changed. And who is pushing for what? I do follow events in that part of the world but am not an expert. However, given China's firewall, the provocation for dissent must be coming from within (even if guided from outside).
Damn, it looks like the US is doing the same thing in election season:
1. The Obama administration will announce a trade complaint against China today as President Barack Obama campaigns in Ohio, alleging impermissible subsidies of auto- and auto-parts exports that encourage outsourcing to China from the U.S., an administration official said.
2. The United States and Japan announced a major agreement Monday to deploy a second, advanced missile-defense radar on Japanese territory – an effort specifically designed to counter the North Korean threat but likely to anger China.
remember that you need permission from the Chinese govt to protest
So does the US. Not only that, but we also have to buy a $200.00 permit as well.
Suckers!!

Somebody must have caught one big fish near one of those islands.
There goes the fishing.
Somebody should open up a bait and tackle shop there pronto.
China orchestrates its people like a bunch of trained seals. This is nothing but a military flexing its muscle. China's neighbors, including Vietnam, are well acquainted with China's claims to own the planet to the middle of the earth to the end of the solar system.
The only good thing about QE3 is that it will run commodities (food and energy specifically) up China's ass. Is that the intent? I dunno but it sure will work as long as they peg to the $.
In other news, sooner or later, we in the US are Fukked due to inflation (same food and energy) . dit, dit dit dot dot dit...
Price run up in China + other export oriented countries = inflation in US due to increased cost of imports... in addition to food and energy.

U.S. distablizes the Mideast.
China distablizes the Pacific.
Your move, Israel.
China wants to be a superpower, but with that distinction comes great responsibility. Let them send peacekeepers to the middle east. They have enough soldiers to post squads at every crossroad, and nobody wants to fight the Chinese. They could come over here and beat us all up with sticks. Therefore, they could bring peace to the middle east, but the sheer quantities of pork-fried rice would be viewed as an abomination by the locals, regardless of their religious affiliation, so the locals would join forces to expel the peacekeepers.
The only move, is not to play
Judging from the captions under those pictures, Chinese really use the F word a lot.

Side note - it's a bit dismaying to see Zero Hedge buying not only into the myth of "Japanese deflation"
(see http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9419/graphjapancpi.gif)
but also that deflation in itself is a bad thing for an economy.
(see 1800's U.S., which experienced 50% deflation through the decade but seemed to do all right overall)
To the blog post - pretty dang disturbing stuff.
Japan and China are runing out of whale blubber!
This may be the best opportunity in decades for Tibetans to attempt......nah, never mind - it's China FFS.
Wouldn't that be the upset of the century if Japan went to war against China over these islands, and won?
Upset? China's military technology his half a century behind Japan...
Very true, but numerically they would have to achieve kill ratios of 50 to 1.
only an idiot would term anything but peace "the upset of the century"
They're taking bets on this right now in Vegas.
You should go there sometime.
Don't bother coming back.
you are really stupid but that's not important right now.
japan owns and controls the islands at the moment. how can they go to war over them?
Defending them from the impending Chinese invasion, unless of course, you think al quaeda is going to jump on them first.
"AHHH NO, NOT MY SHITTY WOK! AHHH NOT MY SHITTY CIVIC!!"

I am long on the Rising Sun. They have Power Rangers, Ultraman and them bad-ass LayZor weapons for Gojira.

and in addition, they will soon be immune to radiation. "Godzilla, Godzilla...!"
Don't forget Manthra and all those other shit kickin Japanese monsters. Nothing can attack a country like a Japanese monster.
BTW, did you know that even their eggs over easy taste like fish? Something sinister in Japan me thinks.
If not for Japan, we would still be using rotary dial telephones.
Maybe Taiwan will make a point of reasserting their claims on these islands, just to keep things interesting.
BTW, who's been winning the China v Japan conflicts last couple thousand years?
Japan, but they have to give credit to some weather phenomena.
This has got to be the biggest joke I have ever seen. The Chinese are pissed of a whole 2 miles worth of uninhabited islands? You have got to be kidding me. They have land mass 25 times the size of Japan, which is twice as densely populated and they are making a big deal of this? What a bunch of barbarians. China is pissing off all the wrong people and pretty soon those shitty little sweatshops they run will be gone.
When you don't make budget, any common enemy will do.
This is eerily similar to krystalnacht in nazi germany.
Control of Oil and Gas under the sea bed around the islands is the most glaring reason.
I haven`t had a chance to go through the UN Law of the Seas, but check out

http://www.calgaryherald.com/opinion/editorials/Harper+prescient+focus+Canada+Arctic/7141747/story.html
Can't stand Harper and his minions but he did see this coming - resource wars.
Not sure who started it - but I guess Harper executed it.
I hate how they are now saying OOoo prescient because we`re scared of China taking over.
BullMerde... when they were talking about developing the North it was:
A) Fear of Denmark making claims of Canadian territories.
`Canada, Denmark continue talks on Hans Island`
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/story/2012/04/12/north-hans-island-d...
Denmark???
Canada hadn`t maintained its northern presence and Denmark planted its flag on some random-ass island.
It has been US ice breakers the whole time maintaining the passage...
B) Canada was anticipating the North West Passage to open up so they could have a direct route to TRADE with China.
The LAST thing on anybody`s mind was Red China invading.
C) If there were any fears of territorial disputes beyond good ol Denmark - it was over Russia claiming resources under the Arctic
`Russia plants undersea flag in Arctic`
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-08-03-russia-arctic_N.htm
Another thing about Harper - what`s with renaming the Canadian Armed forces to have 'Royal' on it.
So if Canada wanted to take over rhode island, thats ok right?

How much do these muppets get to smash window?
Probably the same as they get to make them, except nicer working conditions.
Maybe this is all a big mis-translation. The Chinese refer to them as the Daiyou islands, so if they wrote Die-you-Japanese it would look like they ceded the islands to Japan.
Or something like that.

The nearer you get to their coast the more likely it'll be a kilo, and they are at least two to three times as capable as a song.
i guess you should study more history:
DiaoYu Island was annexed from China by Japan during the first Sino-Japanese war in early 19 century.
After WWII, the Allies(including China) made the Potsdam Declaration:
"....
"Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine." As had been announced in the Cairo Declaration in 1943.
....",
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsdam_Declaration
and Cairo Declaration:
"....
All territories Japan had won from China, such as Manchuria (Dongbei), Formosa (Taiwan), and the Pescadores (Penghu), shall be restored to the Republic of China.
...."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Declaration
So, in fact Japan has no claim of ownership of Diaoyu Island after WWII.
However, due to the cold war, US release the island to Japan(Treaty of San Francisco), and hence the conflict today...
P.S., China splitted into P.R. of China, and R. of China after civil war in 1949.
I just bought a Honda Fit which is perhaps the best car in its class. I really love it....hope it doesn't get turned upside down. I'm in Japan, so that should be OK.
Anyway, I feel sorry for those women whose cars got demolished in the pictures.....They look very shocked. I think one woman had a Toyota Prius which is a very expensive car & also a very good one too.
But I don't understand why they have to smash a Rolex store.....I don't think it's Japanese like Uniqlo.
hero
it was a chance to own a nice Rolex watch. wouldn't you tempted if opportunity presents itself?
nice swiss watch v. shitty chinese watch.
never mind that almost nobody wears watches anymore.
Chairsatan prints = massive inflation in China = China's government need to start a war = US selling weapons to US military, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and many others = profit.
Ben will start WW3 with his QE bullshit.
I'm seriously starting to think that you have a point.
It may get scary down the road.
hero
Comrades, why should we be left out when the barbarians are diverting attention from fiat problems to war?
There must be some leftover islands we can contest!
It also serves to help our ally in Iran. NATO cannot attack if they must protect their Japanese serfs!
Yes, comrades, divert NATO Navy to Japan, save Iran oil for us!
We have one in central Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna river called Three Mile Island. I'll sell it to you cheap.
Reminds of the 1980s in the US with that anti Japanese feelings pouring all over the place.
Who knows what 'american' chinese are able to do on those grounds once they are in power? Scary.
One could wonder if the command of consuming locally includes the tear gas used on chinese demonstrators.
US makes some of the best tear gas in the world and cans used on chinese demonstrators probably came from the US.
'American' chinese should ponder the question whether demonstrators want to eat some chinese made tear gas or prefer US made...
'Americanism' spreading everywhere. Time for the grand finale has not yet come but it will.
Interesting.
Nothing on this scale can happen in China without consent/approval of the authorities. However those in China play a dangerous game. Rioting can be fun and contagious. Today the object is Japan, next it may be internal Chinese policies. The peasants are already rioting, the city folk have for the most part been bought off.....
Bingo! The Chinese government throws into jail anyone who dares utter one peep or complain about the crooked Chinese government stealing land from peasants, but anything comes up about Japan, and they let the cameras roll.
Japan Nekkei up 1.83% on the news of being kicked out of China and possibly blown to smiterines.
YeeeeeeHaaaaaa. More coke and whores for the Goldman Sack.
bad news = good news.
if i have to bet on japan and usa central bankers v. the military prowess of china i know which my, er, money is on.
Whats mandarin for 'Krystallnacht'?
More like KrystalHonda
I was also immediately reminded of the 1938 Kristallnacht or Kosovo Kristallnacht in 2004. "Chinese - defend yourself! Do not buy Japanese!"
