I saw a Chinese astronaut performing a spacewalk on TV. Quite a few Japanese people must have thought that Chinese space technology had become a menace.
Japan has been giving financial aid to China since the resumption of diplomatic ties. The total amount was running at the annual budget of Japan. However, this fact has been kept a secret to ordinary Chinese all this time. China has developed its military power with this fund and has become an imaginary enemy now. I really think of how stupid the Japanese Government was.
By the way, all of the people in the world must have realized that China is a cruel country this year. The Beijing Olympic Games were useful to disseminate the condition of China.
The world has to be cautious about China.
