Having lived in China for a total of 4 years, I know my share of Chinese history. It's amazing how savagely the Japanese treated Chinese, this is true. But through history, the Chinese have their own share of brutal treatment both of invaded nations/peoples and of their own. Ever heard of the Great Leap Forward? Greatest famine in human history. Nobody's sure how many millions died, but it was undeniably (well, undeniable to anyone but the Chinese government) more than Hitler and Stalin killed, combined. All caused by the government. And the treatment of the Tibetian and Uigur people, and the destruction of Falun Gong followers, is merciless.
Asia, through history till now, is a brutal, brutal place. Not that Europe isn't...
