• Now I remember why I rarely read the news here in China.

    So there are xenophobes in China too. Shocked, I am, just shocked. Perhaps she had not heard that the authorities in Shanghai no longer foot the bill for quarantine hotel stays?

    Secondly, you do know why some people in northern China as well as in places like Nanjing still harbour anger toward the Japanese? Not that that´s an excuse of course.

  • She definitely knows that quarantine hotels are self-paid. And yes I do know why very many Chinese people hate the Japanese (I live in China/speak Chinese/studied Chinese history) and while obviously it's no excuse, as you say, I also cannot imagine being able to forgive and forget if I or my family had gone through the absolute horror the Japanese inflicted on China in the 1930s.

  • I recently saw that film on Netflix of Prime about the massacre of Nanking.

    Beyond comprehension of awfulness.

    Do you know if Chinese citizens returning from abroad are treated differently? I´ve yet to come across reports on this as foreign media focus on what foreigners face when travelling (back) to China.

    I studied Chinese politics and some simplified Chinese, although it was ages ago and I´ve forgotten most of the latter at least.
