What bull.

Victimhood is not a good excuse for criminal behavior. Especially if current “victims” were not even alive at the time.

In any event, even if philosophically and morally sound, current CCP global “reparation” crimes do not solely target nor affect the alleged 8.

And conveniently ignore USA assistance in ridding China of Japanese invaders during WWII.

And speaking of reparations, which you “are told” are due, lol, how much does China owe the world for its criminal negligence at Wuhan Virology Lab?

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Relying on reparations and alleged victimhood leads to a circle of claims and counter claims. More important, the claim for reparations, aside from being immensely stupid, is a flimsy cloak to justify global crimes.

CCP leadership has led to rogue behavior but top down control of an economy carries within it the seeds of self destruction.

Never, ever works.

Just a matter of time because current capo di tutti capos will never relinquish control. A brutal control freak par excellence. Ask perp-walked Hu Jintao if he has not yet received bullet to head.

The Four Nos apply: doesn’t know, doesn’t care, doesn't see, and isn’t told.

This, too, will crumble.

Like tofu dregs.

C2, your post is prima facie evidence of why "Never Again" vigilance must be maintained lest we forget all that which still fuel this day's conflicts because what is due remains due whether in Ukraine, Middle East, China Seas, or within USA.

Starting from one part of your post and ending up at another portion ... (I do not make up stuff but just read a lot written by others much more authoritative) ... and very much keeping human nature in mind as opposed to espousing unrealistic philosophical debate points, because I do not do debate

re <<Victimhood is not a good excuse for criminal behavior. Especially if current “victims” were not even alive at the time.>>
I am told and understand that many in USA, in and outside of authorities, academia, etc etc, would have issue(s) with your statement. I understand human nature, and understand good vs bad, and wait for the disagreements to sort themselves out over time. No need to argue by me for one or another PoV

In the case of Japanese invasion of China starting early 1930s, and Team USA interference in Chinese civil war through 1920 - 1949 - today, all of which in too many ways were enabled by the eight perp-nations back in 1800s traces through history of which the Boxer Rebellion was a part of history. The perp-nations along with other state actors supported the Japanese to take away from China the integral Shandong Province (birth place and home of the Confucius clan) which of course encouraged the Japanese to take more and more. Enough victims, and there are too many, remain alive to this hour, three of my extended family members in the immediate neighbourhood included. Trust you understand why Kawasaki is still considered a war crimes legal person.
It seems that Team USA and the perp-nations not only facilitated Japanese invasion of China but also enabled the Communists to rise in same China yris.yira.org
From Paris to Beijing: How the Shandong Decision Influenced the Communist Rise in China
en.wikipedia.org.
The new government of China denounced the transfer of German holdings at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, with the strong support of President Woodrow Wilson of the United States. The Chinese ambassador to the United States, Wellington Koo, stated that China could no more relinquish Shandong, which was the birthplace of Confucius, the greatest Chinese philosopher, than could Christians concede Jerusalem.
trinidadexpress.com
In 1919, Chen was selected by the Chinese government to represent China at the Paris Peace Conference, a formal meeting of the ­victorious Allies and Germany to set the peace terms after the end of World War I. The refusal of the China delegation to sign the Versailles treaty on June 28 had devastating consequences for President Wilson and US politics.
Ultimately, the US Senate “refused to ratify the Versailles treaty and all its bright ideas like the Wilson-inspired League of Nations”. Look Lai claims that a letter that Chen sent to William Borah, a Republican member of the US Senate that was published in all of the major US newspapers, was mainly responsible for the US not signing the treaty.
This victory must have been a bit heady for this country boy from Trini­dad, who did not even speak a word of Chinese. After the conference, he travelled to London to reunite with his family who were very proud of “his new-found status in far off China... In 1920, he attended the inauguration of the League of Nations in Geneva as a member of the Chinese delegation. He did not return to China until July 1921”.
Long story short, Team Russia revealed by drop file to Eugene en.wikipedia.org that the western perp-nations planned to cede China's Shandong Province to Team Japan which indubitably acted as another beachhead from which Team Japan continued to invade Team China, and Eugene did reveal that which set off the May Fourth Movement en.wikipedia.org

IOW, without Team USA support Team Japan would not have been able to so easily do "I am keeping it" protocol on Shandong Province, home of Confucius, and would have had a much more difficult time carrying out subsequent and directly related invasion of China, and logic says many as in enough Chinese victims of Japanese invasion are definitely very much alive, inconvenient to perps, enablers, facilitators and such same. Am told.

Additionally, the idea that China stole IP for trains is silly, because everything was bought and paid for, localised, and built upon. Contending otherwise, am told by folks who know more than I is just and only very sour grapes




Re <<And conveniently ignore USA assistance in ridding China of Japanese invaders during WWII.>> ... as others reported, Team USA facilitated Japanese invasion of China, per spade is a spade.

Re <<speaking of reparations, which you “are told” are due, lol, how much does China owe the world for its criminal negligence at Wuhan Virology Lab?>>
BTW, did Team USA ever pay Team Germany for the knowledge w/r to V2 rockets? Just a reminder, 'nuff said.

I am told by Reuters that Team USA apologised to Team Philippines for slandering Team China w/r to China Covid vaccine that resulted in who knows how many more fatalities in the Philippines.
Left still unresolved is of course is the Pentagon did not apologise to Team China for the same slander, and besides the same Pentagon getting in the way of reducing covid death count, and its affiliates blowing up Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and and and, one is left to logically wonder what else did the Pentagon and affiliates do? that is besides funding for obviously dangerous research all around the planet, including Covid in Wuhan and everywhere else.
