    You mean like the sovereign waters of the Phillipines? Oh, I guess since it has China in the name the entire body of water belongs to the Chinese.

      There is historical record in the west going back to at least WWII acknowledging that area as Chinese territorial waters. Just because you only follow news cycles while they’re hot, doesn’t mean all of history prior to now stops existing.

        They’re just Japanese war crime apologists. You get used to them.

        They’re the same people who’ll say that only Jews suffered from the Holocaust and completely ignored the sacrifices of the Soviets and the Romani people (mostly because they were freed from those camps by the Red Army in the East and the West never saw it). They’re the same people who’ll say that US trade with Japan in support of Japan’s massacres in China was just business. They’re the same people who’ll claim that Japan did nothing wrong until Pearl Harbour.

        They are delusional, and they’re not worth your time.

          Still worth stating facts though. Someone pursuing posts might be swayed by talking points if there isn’t a dissenting voice.

            And now we have ROC massacre apologists. The KMT government killed and imprisoned hundreds of thousands of communists in the post-WW2 civil war period. During WW2, the KMT consistently prioritized the threat of Mao’s armies over the threat of the Japanese, stalling pan-Chinese efforts to fight back against the Japanese and inadvertently leading to hundreds of thousands more dead, raped, or worse.
