After what China did to Japan 500 years ago (under Mongol rule) (not Mongol rule as a hexbearer pointed out actually), they have no right to condemn Japan for anything; also bacteria, viruses, what's the difference? Also it was an attack, not an epidemic that formed naturally like they have throughout history.

    Some points:

    1. The Yuan dynasty was a Chinese dynasty. "It's not a Chinese dynasty because it was ruled by Mongols" is a talking point pushed by Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese ultranationalists as well as various Westerners.

    2. The invasion of Japan by the Yuan dynasty was closer to 700 years ago.

    3. The actual war that happened 500 years ago was when Japan invaded Korea in order to invade China. The Sino-Japanese Wars was just Japan attempting to use the same playbook they did half a millennia ago.

    when you believe another country engineered a global pandemic to bring your country to its knees but you refuse to wear a mask to protect yourself from said pandemic

      It's a superweapon engineered by the evil CCP, also it's no worse than the flu, also they released it as a biological attack against the West, also no I'm not going to get a vaccine. I definitely have a coherent ideological framework.

    bacteriological

    We went through and entire pandemic and fascist dipshits like this still don't know the difference between bacteria and viruses. It'll blow their mind when they learn about bacteriophages.

    Like seriously they chosen that? Just one carpet bombing by USA killed more Japanese people than both invasions together. Few years of Japanese wako raids killed more people in China than those invasions. Hell, those invasions, according to the Hojo regent, didn't killed enough people since after them, the government went into serious crisis because there was not enough money and land to reward the participating warriors.

      Chairman Mao had a somehow positive view on Cao Cao somehow, he thought if Cao Cao somehow won earlier he could end the Three Kingdom period before it even started and subsequently less people would die.
