While many anti-Japan protesters are turning the streets in China into battlefields by tearing down every Japanese car or store in sight, some others are thinking about a more serious question – who should be sent to the front line should China declare war against Japan over Diaoyu Islands?
This weekend, unrest can be felt in the air all over China. This weekend, chanting of “Long live Chairman Mao” once again can be heard all over China. This weekend, pictures with Mao started to be censored on Weibo.
While the Japanese embassy reminds silent on Weibo amid heated dispute between China and Japan over Diaoyu Islands, Japanese porn star Sora Aoi has made her efforts in easing the tension between the two countries.
So far, China’s strategy to defend its sovereignty over Diaoyu Islands remains very peaceful. The 3-step strategy includes weather report, Photoshop and media lip service.
More telling than waves of anti-Japan protests and discussions of patriotism is a poll started on Sina Weibo. The question is “If your kid is born on Diaoyu Islands, which citizenship would you choose for her?”
