#I remember they used to hate japan as much as they hate chinese now in 1970s or 1980s?#When Japan went through an economic bubble and fell apart#they suddenly stopped hating Japan because they felt it was no longer a threat?#Then they start to have the leisure to appreciate Japanese culture and whatnot#I don't think this example applies much to China#because in the UN#even the US has to look at China's face be like看脸色 lmao
