Many people there have an intense hatred for Japan. Taiwan, not so much. I've talked to numerous locals, and many of them actually liked when Japan tried to use forced assimilation. It's odd, but they say that Taiwan was a much safer and better place when it was under the control of Japan. For some reason, the Japanese weren't as brutish and unforgiving to the Taiwanese.
22	WorldDisney Sun 9/2/2007 3:29a	Hmm, that's interesting, I obviously know about the hatred in China and everytime Prime Minister Koizumi went to the infamous shrine that had war crimes China protested just as much as Korea did. Anyone know if the new Prime Minister Abe will do the same thing? I went to Hong Kong's history museum a full times and out of the three floors of the city's entire history, MOST of the third floor is devoted to the Japanese occupation. But I didn't realize the difference of attitudes about Taiwan and Mainland China about this issue. So are you saying they felt better under Japanese rule than China's?
23	The Goddess Mara Sun 9/2/2007 7:19a	The French hate the Brits. The Brits hate the French. They both hate the Germans. The Japanese hate the Koreans. The Koreans hate the Japanese. The Chinese hate the Japanese. Ain't life grand?
24	TDLFAN Sun 9/2/2007 7:23a	You forgot... Cubans hate Puerto Rican and viceversa, Mexicans hate Bush, Bush hates everyone etc etc.
25	Mr X Sun 9/2/2007 7:40a	>>It's odd, but they say that Taiwan was a much safer and better place when it was under the control of Japan.<< Well, since they've been "under the gun" ever since, I can understand the nostalgia (misplaced though it is!).
26	TDR_Fan Sun 9/2/2007 11:12a	<<So are you saying they felt better under Japanese rule than China's?>> In a sense, Japan did treat Taiwan like it was part of its own country. The Taiwanese who were around to experience Japan's rule of Taiwan still show very positive feelings towards the country and its people and continue to share their beliefs with the next generation.
27	WorldDisney Sun 9/2/2007 5:01p	<<You forgot... Cubans hate Puerto Rican and viceversa, Mexicans hate Bush, Bush hates everyone etc etc.>> And EVERYONE hates America. That's something the entire world can forget their differences and rally around every once in awhile ;).
