Chinese Netizen Transforms Anti-Japan into Love for Japan upon Japan's Facemask Donation

"Even if I get Wuhan Pneumonia and am going to die in my house, I won't need half a face mask from Japan!", a Chinese netizen posted on Twitter.

The same netizen, like many others in China, has a habit to post vulgar insults about Japan and people who like Japan. Their "arguments" often correlate condemnation against Japanese occupation during World War II to unrelated contexts of the present, while making Beijing-centered nationalistic statement along the way. The following post is an example:

"You losers f**king use Chinese language and Chinese characters. Can I kill your mothers and apologise afterwards? Did you take your f**king history lessons in secondary school? How many [Chinese] revolutionists were killed by Japanese? Now you tell me the Chinese killed more people than them? Do you have a f**king idea how many cruel things Japanese did in China?"

However, the said netizen later tweeted a post to express his "love" to Japan, after Japan had sent masks to China during the coronavirus outbreak. The netizen uploaded a photo of a store in Japan but with the sign "Fight on, China". After all, his profile photo took after an Japanese anime character.

Hong Kong's “National Education Calendar” suggests discussing #ChineseCommunistParty development and watching three "patriotic anti-Japanese" films a year

In a letter to all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, the Education Bureau (#EDB) "strongly recommended" schools to "fully and systematically" implement learning activities for #NationalSecurityEducation.

The bureau attached a calendar of "important dates" on the national education curriculum, as well as suggested learning activities for each. These recommendations include watching patriotic or anti-Japanese war movies on three memorial dates related to the anti-Japanese war; holding memorial ceremonies on "mourning day for Nanjing Massacre Victims"; celebrating the "102nd Anniversary of the founding of the #CCP" with discussions on the Party's development, etc.

The EDB had also made it mandatory for all primary and secondary schools to fly the Chinese flag on all school days, as well as to hold a weekly flag-raising ceremony, complete with singing the Chinese national anthem. Secretary of Education Christine Choi says that, as the youth is the future pillars of society, schools must instill in students the concept of the nation, as well as national identity and pride, in order to develop them into a new generation of "knowledgeable, responsible youths who love the country and love Hong Kong".

[Editor's notes: Many China-produced television dramas and films about fighting the Japanese during World War 2 are characterized by their nationalistic nature. They are also known for "over-the-top violence and implausible plot events." For more information, check out this report by Hong Kong Free Press:
