One cartoonist is reported to have drawn comics depicting Chinese people as pigs

A total of nine "spiritually Japanese" Chinese youths were arrested in China for alleged anti-China extremism on July 28.
Yahoo! News Japan defines "spiritually Japanese" (or Jingri as they are known in China) as a derogatory term for Chinese fans of Japanese anime and cosplay. However, the Communist Youth League of China explicitly states that the term does not refer to fans of Japanese anime, food, and other cultural commodities. "Spiritually Japanese" instead refers to Chinese people who zealously identify with Japanese nationalism and its World War II-era military, and who express contempt for their own country.
The term first began to spread widely in March last year, when two youths were arrested in China for wearing Japanese World War II-era military uniforms. However, the latest incident on July 28 marks the first time that as many as nine so-called "spiritually Japanese" people were arrested in one day.
According to The Beijing News, one of those arrested was a 22-year-old cartoonist surnamed Zhang. The artist is reported to have drawn comics depicting Chinese people as pigs. The police arrested her on suspicion of "warping Chinese history and the state of affairs both in and out the country in bad faith." A 36-year-old collaborator surnamed Lu was also arrested for allegedly assisting in disseminating Zhang's comics on social media. An image believed to have been drawn by Zhang is shown top-right.

Japan's wartime deeds in China continue to be politically contentious in both countries. The Chinese government maintains that Japan has not done enough to apologize for mass murder and other war crimes, such as the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, which killed over 300,000 people according to China's official estimate.
The Chinese government has a track record of arresting people for their politically contentious art. Last year, a woman received a 10-year and six month prison sentence for writing boys-love novels.

So the Jingri are the gook version of Nazis? Neat.

Also it's cool that even with the massive amounts of government censorship the Chinese can still get information about the outside and at least have murmurings of social unrest and hate for the oppressive regime.
Considering the massive economic bubble China is currently in any sort of heavy political change has a chance to pop it. They really have to handle their ongoing political unrest carefully otherwise the last 30 years of bullshit might come crashing down. It would be good economic warfare if some foreign country started placing dissenters in strategics locations, assuming that's not already going on.

Chinese and Japanese are basically the same thing though.

Race traitors get the bullet. Remove Hanjian.

Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans hate each other so much it's not funny. Kpop fans despise any group with a Jap member, and 2chan has been shitting on Koreans since before 4chan existed.

 

[adorable bitch]

Holy shit chinese weaboos.

Not surprised tbh. Anime, cosplay, jfash, ect are pretty popular with the rich kids over there.

 

[La Luz Extinguido]

That cartoon is an insult to pigs.

 

[ES 195]

So is the McDonalds in the back an artistic statement or is it location accurate?

 

[KimCoppolaAficionado]

Holy shit chinese weaboos.

Not quite. It'd be more accurate to think of these people as, essentially, "Jewish Nazis". Most of them have a massive fetish for Imperial Japan and either engage in denial of Japanese warcrimes or outright worship them (one of these guys got arrested for posting a picture on Instagram making obscene gestures in front of the memorial for the victims of the Rape of Nanking while dressed like a member of the IJA and saying something along the lines of "Japan should have killed ten times more, 300,000 wasn't enough!") They seem pretty psycho TBH.

Full disclosure, I know about these guys through reading Supchina, so I don't know how much of this is State propaganda. The site seems unbiased, but it's hard to know.

Anime is popular with korean and chinese youth just like it is with american. Kpop is also very popular in Japan.
Young people don't care

Japan also has a underclass of ethnic koreans living in japan

A daily reminder that CCP killed and raped more Chinese than Imperial Japan ever did.
