a few years ago the nongs got riled up about sth Japan said/did,  I can't exactly remember what it was,, probably something about that shrine over there,,,, anyway,, the nongs turned on each other.  destroyed each others property and even murdered each other.  why?  no reason.  just found a time/place to go nuts, and they did.  didn't know, or really even care whose lives they destroyed.  not an issue with most nongs.

read up on the CR.  They will turn on u and dissect you in the street.  Reason?  No reason needed.  sorry, ugly truth from the foot-binders.

I remember rioting over the diaoyu islands. Burning toyotas that kinda thing.

 

Yeah real senseless stuff

yeah,, that is the incident I am referring to.  There was video footage of a middle-aged (30's) guy swinging a U-lock and bashing the brains out of an older guy.  I'll never get that out of my mind's eye. u could tell it was all just random. he didn't know who the guy was or care...

It was state sanctioned protests with arbitrary acts of violence and it did the CCP no ill at all.

But when the young ppl of Beijing tried it at another time the response was different.  As it is when the natives of far western China do the same, not that you get to hear much about that.

I don't think it would ever happen, but if it did, I would do whatever my embassy would say.

The backward nongs from another time would try to kill us but futuristic Japan would send Gundams to rescue us.

we would probably have to leave, especially after they lost the conflict and wanting to get even for the ineptitude of battle.

In both nations, eager youth will hear the rallying call, and mobilize, hungry for glory. The casualties from epileptic seizures and malnutrition will be beyond measure. Internet cafes will run red with bloodshot eyes. After the war is over, theside effects from caffeine withdrawal will linger, affecting lives that the government will be unwilling to acknowledge. The ambitious few who win the MMORPG deathmatch will be hailed as heroes.

At least, that's how I can picture China and Japan facing off. Most of the young generation isn't into martial artsconventions.

What happens to us expats? We'd have to stay indoors in case locals on the street might inexplicably mistake us for japanese dogs. Fortunately, the local girls will keep us company during the men's emotional absence. That is to say, even more girls will keep us even more company while the men are even more emotionally absent. I wonder if viagra has adverse effects from prolonged use…

it would be a better conflict if the females did the war, wait till the male gamers start copying the new technology and we will never get them out of momma's househttp://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/virtual-reality-male-sex-toy-7299079

China cant go to war with just Japan. Japan and the USA have an alliance. China would have to declare war on both.  in all probability it would lead to WW3 with other nations taking sides.

Good loyal foreigners will be rewarded with HUGE cash payments from the chinese govt. We're talking MILLIONS here.

 

But people who criticize China online will be hung for treason.
