My
sister's just told me the news of the possible coming war between Japan
and China. I don't know who is right or wrong, but in my opinion, China
has gone too far. They've been harassing my country, Vietnam, over the
ownership of Hoang Sa-Truong Sa islands. Now they want to take over the
Senkaku islands that belong to Japan also. They've become too aggressive
for their own good *shaking head*.
As
if their country is not big enough. I believe they want to swallow the
whole Asia and claim that our countries have always belonged to them.
How about that? Just say the words already. I know what you want. *tsk
tsk*
Because
of our tension with China, we, Vietnamese, have avoided purchasing any
goods from China. However, we do not act like savaged barbarians. We do
not harass or bully the Chinese who live in Vietnam. We do not try to
destroy any properties that belong to the local Chinese. So how come
these Chinese people consider that they have the right to do just these
things to the Japanese currently residing in China ??? That's so not
fair. They are innocent. You, Chinese, act like an ass. I once reckoned
that with the increasing prosperity in many aspects, China is going to
dominate the world with their intelligence and moderned technology, but
never...never with VIOLENCE. Apparently, I've always been wrong. I'm so
terribly disspointed and is so embarrassed to have you as our neighbor.
You are such an embarrassment to the people of Asia.
Japan's
surffered so much from the Tsunami that happened just last year.
They've lost so much already. Do you need to take more from them? And
from us, Vietnamese? You think you're so powerful that every country
must kneel down to you and be acquiescent to whatever terms or orders
you're going to issue to us? My country is small and is not, by any
means, resourceful or powerful in military; but we will not back down.
We will fight you in one way or another if only to opose to your foolish
idea of dominance and invasion.
There
is a pit in my stomach the moment I heard the news. I have many
Japanese friends. Some of them I've lost contact since the tsunami. One
of my friends was devastated by the damages caused by the Tsunami.
They've lost not only properties, but also people...PEOPLE. Do you hear?
Do you see? Do you even feel? Is there a remotest morsel of sympathy in
you, China? I'm afraid not. Because if you do have these basic
qualities required to make you a human-being, you would not have started
these arguments and confrontations that are serious enough to lead to
WARS. Wars are FIRE. You're playing with fire. Fire is not easy to
control. It will spread. I hope it will backfire you. That would serve
you right.
Wars
always result in countless amount of innocent casualties on both sides.
Is losing your own people worth the invasion? Perhaps in your
perception, people in your country is an inexhaustible resource; hence,
you don't care if you will lose any. Profits are more worthy than human
lives, of course.
I don't care if any of you, Chinese, are reading this post of mine. I'm pissed off and so I'm letting you know it.
I
don't hold all Chinese responsible for those barbarian acts that have
been showered on innocent Japanese, because I have Chinese friends as
well. They are good and considerate people. I don't know where they
stand in these battles. But if they trust that those evil deeds were
justified, then I don't think I can talk to them anymore since there is a
wall of difference built between us. If even they can not see what is
right or wrong, I'm speechless.
I'm so worried for my friends. I hope they are fine.
Sometime
ago, one of my friends sent me an email. One would think she must have
been desperate and in despair. On the contrary, she told me she'd be
doing all her best, not only for herself and family, but for the people
of Japan also. She said she would not let herself be drown in the past
and vowed to do whatever in her ability to help rebuild Japan. She was
so possitive that the glory of Japan will be back, maybe not soon, but
it will since every Japanese share the same sentiment, determination and
ambition. They really love their country.
I
admire my friend, admire the Japanese so much. They are strong people.
No matter what the outcome is, I'm in support of Japan.
