Do you foreigners even know how many times Japanese navy abused Taiwanese fishermen for fishing in 釣魚台 which belongs to Taiwan and is practically in our backyard. Japanese navy sometimes purposely damage their boats, DEMAND $3M NT to release their boat and crew and imprison the captain again and again. I wish Taiwan could stand up to Japan like China did.<br />Japan was the aggressor that killed 20 million Chinese during WWII, and is still the bully to Taiwanese as of today.台灣人noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-59751969260565997272010-09-25T00:07:52.508+08:002010-09-25T00:07:52.508+08:00Japan needs to wake up!
