China: Koizumi is New Hitler
Japundit has an entry that wonderfully demonstrates the anti-Japanese hysteria now running high in China (pictures alone are worth a visit to the link).
Only, it really is not a laughing matter. The irony is that ugly nationalism IS on the rise in East Asia. But it is in China, not Japan, where one finds such hyper-nationalsim, particularly xenophobia against the US and Japan.
The Chinese "Communist" Party is largely responsible for whipping up the hysteria. Having lost its past ideological justification (now that the Party admits entrepreneurs), it is falling back on nationalism to maintain power ("We're the only ones who can protect you from the foreign devils!).
In China today, patriotism is indeed the last refugee of scoundrels.
