  3. The chinese government is showing their cowardice by not accepting responsibility. I think that if the chinese government accepts responsibility of the massacre it will cause major unrest in the whole of China. That does not mean they should just delete it from people’s mind. Its a cowardly act to ask major IT companies to filter away this historical event. What if Japan decides to filter away the NanJing massacre? What will the chinese think? It is a painful mistake by the government. I still cannot believe people can be that big a coward to not admit fault. Especially fault so big that involves murdering unarmed citizens. Treat the people like your own children. You do not use a gun to shoot them when they oppose you!

  4. Hehe, ok, just checking. 🙂
    I think it’s great to have something like that every year, though of course it would have been better if it had never happened at all. I’m sure we’ll see a resolution to this eventually!
