Unlike Japan, in China the government really does control history.

BBC News: "Unlike Japan, in China the government really does control history."


Note: the history that the Mainland Chinese government ERASED:

1. The 17 official apologies from Japan to China.

"Young Chinese are taught about the atrocities committed by the Japanese during World War II. They are not however taught about the 17 official apologies that Japan has made to China over the last 30 years, including one from the Japanese emperor when he visited Beijing. "

2. The monetial assistance of Japan to China:

"Nor are they told of the $30bn in aid that Japan has given to China since ties were re-established in 1972, aid that has helped build Beijing's international airport and the city's new subway system. You'll search in vain for a plaque on either acknowledging where the money came from. "

3. The Cultural Revolution:

"China's own history has been relentlessly rewritten to erase the episodes the Communist Party would rather forget. Ask any young Chinese about Mao's disastrous "great leap forward" campaign in which more than 20 million people starved to death, and you will get a blank stare. "

4. The Tiennanmen Event in 4 June 1989.
The claimed that the police didn't beat anyone to death in Tiennanmen centre, understated the death numbers of the students and citizens, overstated the death numbers of the police, and name students and citizens with 'rioters'.

丘梓勤﹕篡改六四侵華異曲同工

【明報專訊】讀者來函

以下是日本政府審訂的教科書如何美化侵華歷史﹕

侵佔中國東北﹕

「隨著國民黨統一中國的逼近，中國人的反日運動激化，不斷發生妨礙列車運行和迫害日本學童的事件。」

西安事變﹕
「共產黨員潛入國民黨內部，大肆推進將日本引入戰爭的破壞和挑釁活動。」中日戰爭是共產黨陰謀挑唆起來的。

盧溝橋事變﹕
「1937年7月7日夜，在北京郊外的盧溝橋，發生了有人向日本軍隊開槍的事件。第二天，中國方面繼續開槍，進入了戰鬥狀態。」盧溝橋事變完全是中國的責任，是中國方面擴大了事態。

南京大屠殺﹕
「那時，日本軍隊導致民眾中也出現了很多死傷者，這就是南京事件。」「但是關於事件的實際情，資料上被發現有很多疑點，存在各種見解，現在仍在爭論。」

日本政府至今未曾就侵華所犯的戰爭罪行道歉 (J note: 其實有)，亦未曾對死難者及慰安婦作賠償。(J note: 不過日本民間好多)


以下是中國政府如何歪曲八九民運﹕

六四死難者的數字﹕
「死亡情況﹕戒嚴部隊指戰員23名，其中10名解放軍，13名為武警戰士。還有200名左右失蹤﹔市民、學生和暴徒約200名，其中大學生36名。天安門廣場範圍內沒有打死一個人。」

八九只是一場風波﹕
「對於89年春夏之交北京發生的那場政治風波，我們黨和政府已經做出了正確結論。 這一結論不會改變。」

出動軍隊鎮壓和平示威者﹕

「十多年來的實踐證明我們黨和政府當時採取的及時果斷的措施，對於國家的穩定和

發展是非常必要的。」

有關《六四真相》一書﹕
「任何人使用編造材料、歪曲事實的卑劣手法，重新炒作此事，圖謀搞亂中國，都是徒勞的。」

中國政府至今未曾對六四死難者道歉 (J note: 呢個真係冇, 佢覺得自己冇錯, 錯在學生)，及沒有對死難者作任何賠償。

今天，大家可以走出來大義凜然地指摘日本否定60年前侵華歷史，要求日本就戰時犯下的暴行道歉賠償的同時，又如何面對一件16年前的慘劇一再受政府的歪曲呢﹖當然還有更多。
(J: 你仲衰過人地呀...人地都有apologize過下, 人地人民都會正視自己政府做過既衰野...但中國人就視而不見, 聽而不聞, 仲衰呀~)

我們要求別人尊重歷史，我們自己首先要尊重歷史﹗
