It will be interesting to see how all this will be taken by American public. Guess what!? - Americans have not forgotten Pearl Harbor, and more. Go beyond that?

Apparently it was much more widespread, according to this link centurychina.com

Here are comments from Americans, non-Chinese Americans.

"My mom and dad were English. My dad was an RAF pilot during WW2. I was an A-7 pilot (Navy) in Nam for 3 months. That is probably what attracted me to Nanning many years later. Nanning was the supply route for Hanoi and I can still remember landing at Nanning airport and seeing the old Migs on the tarmac. I could feel the hairs in the back of my neck stand up. It is sad that the US and China did not develop a better relationship after the war. Doolittle would not have come back to the US if it were not for Chinese citizens and the only airforce that China had was the US Flying Tigers. I met a marine that was with the Tigers at a KFC in Saginaw MI last year. He spent 2 years in a Japanese POW camp and these good people were trying to defend China and the Chinese citizens from the Japanese....Jim"

"My mother, throughout her life, would not buy a thing she thought was made in Japan. Little did she know that every TV and electonic thing she purchased was made in Japan.....Jim"

"Likewise with one of my distant aunt. She bought English,European, and American stuffs. She lost a grandfather, uncles and cousins in Shanghai and Nanjing during that period. Who knows, maybe some relatives got raped too. But she never mention the rest, just the utter determination of avoiding anything to do with Japan or Nippon. She would turn over in her grave if she finds out I drive a Honda and watch Sony television. Good thing she passed away watching RCA and Motorola TV's, although some of the components could have been made in Japan. I think she would do away with TV's and radios if she knew where the components were made."
