Here is some morality for the everyday US citizen who would like to look deeper into the Epstein files, yet doesn't know how to read them right. Be careful not to break the rules, like Epstein did in a different way, by "hacking" the redacted files rather than copying them into a better looking text sheet. Furthermore avoid to get your eyes overworked by reading too much. Isn't X-Mas a rare opportunity to search your own heart and abstain from everything your government wants to protect you from ?
On Commemoration Day of the Nanjing Massacre, committed by Japanese invasion troops on December 13, 1937 and leaving a death toll of 300.000 civilians, some Chinese propaganda account on X came about with the following post:
A comprising evaluation of the Sino-Japanese Conflict was quoted from the same propaganda platform related to some military, probably female, Northeastern Training (Unit) 东北进修, not directly connected to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the Ministry of State Security, the logo of which this X-account has chosen for its own presentation. Despite an undeniable dedication to the cause of China, this site is offering accurate historic background information on the conflict, allegedly based on personal/familiar background.
Historic Timeline of the Sino Japanese Conflict
"
Japan has started every war in which they were the aggressor with a sneak attack.
🔸1894, First Sino Japanese war; started when Japanese cruisers attacked Chinese ships leaving the Asan Bay.
🔸1904 Russo-Japanese war; started when Japanese ships attacked the Russian Far East Fleet in Port Arthur.
This was Japan's coming out war, against a Western Great Power. So it was important for the Japanese to act with decorum.
They sent a formal declaration of war to Russia 3 hours AFTER the attack. Otherwise, in their mind, the world would see them as the deceitful thieves.
🔸1931 full invasion of Chinese region of Manchuria; started with the false flag incident, the Mukden Incident, where the Japanese planted a bomb to destroy the railway they operated, and blamed it on the Chinese. Using this as an excuse to invade the entire region.
🔸1937, 2nd Sino Japanese war, the full scale invasion of China. The Japanese set up another false flag incident; The Marco Polo Bridge Incident where Japanese troops used the excuse of finding a lost solider to attack Chinese troops outside of Beijing.
🔸1941, the Pacific War as part of WW2. Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor WHILE their negotiators were in the US for "peace talks".

In addition, I would like to present two further posts that are dealing with the current situation of mistrust between China and Japan, after Japanese PM Takaichi's comment on Taiwan and in the frame of Sino-Russian joint ecercises in the vicinity of Japan.
[Editor: As to the enmity between Chinese and Japanese people, I've kept some memories from earlier press reports in my country, dealing with some unknown Japanese that had damaged a Chinese memorial site at Hiroshima, Japan, dedicated to Chinese victims of the atomic bomb and who had been engaged in forced labor. That incident, already years ago, had been officially downplayed at the time.]
Update December 12: China and US independently downplayed Sino-Japanese Tensions, coming at a time when US Trump faces the Thailand-Cambodia Conflict flaring up again and resulting in half a million refugees, a conflict he had earlier declared "having already ended" under his guidance.
What began as a joint exercise of Chinese and Russian forces
has turned into a dangerous confrontation of US-backed Japan:
Tokyo said that US fighter jets with nuclear strike capabilities flew over the Sea of Japan together with Japanese fighter jets. Previously, China and Russia held joint exercises in the sea and air near Japan and South Korea.
Japan's Ministry of Defense issued a statement on Thursday (December 11) saying that Japan and the United States reiterated their firm defense against any unilateral attempt to use violence to change the status quo and confirmed the preparations between the Self-Defense Forces and the US military.
Two US military B-52 fighter jets flew together with three Japanese F-35 stealth fighters and three F-15 fighters.
On Tuesday, Chinese and Russian warplanes flew jointly in the East China Sea, as well as in the western Pacific. And "Japan accuses Chinese fighter jets of attacking Japanese fighter jets in last weekend's fire control radar locking." China denied it. Washington called the incident "unconstructive to regional peace and stability" and reiterated its unwavering alliance with Japan.

The flight of two U.S. B-52 strategic bombers with three Japanese F-35 stealth fighters and three F-15 air-superiority jets was the first time the U.S. had asserted its military presence since China began military exercises in the region last week amid heightened tensions between Tokyo and Beijing.
However, a U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, played down the bomber flights, saying they were pre-planned well before the Chinese-Russian drills and that U.S. and Japanese military aircraft carried out similar joint sorties last month, also involving U.S. B-1B bombers.
At the White House, spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said U.S. President Donald Trump can maintain both a "good working relationship" with China and a "very strong alliance" with Japan, even as tensions have risen between those two countries.

Russia has deployed TU-95 nuclear-capable bombers over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, with Japan responding by scrambling fighter jets to monitor the situation. The Russian bombers, escorted by Su-35 and Su-30SM fighters, flew within Japan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) but did not enter sovereign airspace.
One time after the millenium year of 2000, Chinese language websites first outnumbered English language sites.
In its 29th Statistics Report on the State of China's Internet Development, China's Internet Information Center (CNNIC) had published that by the end of December 2011, the number of Chinese households using the web would have increased to 250 Million. The web then became the most important medium of communication for its users when fetching news. And in January 2012, Chinese media reported that China's internet population had risen to 500 Million "netizens".
But it is the 56th Statistics Report from CNNIC, published in July 2025, which comes about with an even more interesting evaluation:
As of June 2025, the number of Internet users in mainland China will reach 1.123 billion, with an Internet penetration rate of 79.7%. The number of mobile Internet users in mainland China will reach 1.116 billion, with 99.4% of Internet users accessing the Internet via mobile devices.
In his book "The Digital Silk Road", first published in 2021, Jonathan Hillman, a top-ranking specialist on international strategic studies, wrote that China is rewiring the world, through vast infrastructure projects which already extend from the ocean floor to outer space, from Africa's megacities to rural America. In doing so, the global order is being rewritten.
PDF-Update Dec.10: Background Material (日本对中国战争和琉球问题)
What happened:
A Japanese ship broke into the Diaoyu Islands
to run wild & Chinese Coast Guard took action.
Here is a Chinese comment posted on December 5
by a Jiangxi Military Field Creator :
The frequency of Japan “ acting as a demon ” is simply refreshing! Before the farce over the Taiwan Strait had come to an end, Japan hurriedly extended its black hand to the Diaoyu Islands.
On December 2, as soon as the report from China Coast Guard came out, netizens immediately boiled: The Japanese fishing boat Ruibao Maru dared to illegally break into the territorial waters of our Diaoyu Islands. The Chinese Coast Guard ship took a hard-core action on the spot to control, warn, and drive away a set of processes. It was simply neat and when the scene was uploaded to the Internet, the screen was full of applause for the Coast Guard action.
It may be asked, why does Japan dare to be so bold? On one hand, there is support of the United States behind it, trying to use the tiger skin of the U.S.-Japan alliance as a banner, and imagining that with the support of external forces, they can gain benefits on the issue of China-related territory; on the other hand, some forces in Japan have always held the illusion of the remnants of militarism, and they will never die against China's territory, testing China's bottom line through various small actions in an attempt to change the status quo of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.
But they are clearly miscalculating that China is no longer the country that was slaughtered a hundred years ago, and that China today has enough strength and determination to defend every inch of territorial sovereignty.
China has canceled a large number of Sino-Japanese cultural exchange activities because of protests against Japanese PM Sanae's remarks in Takashi. This could be seen as another model of “U-shaped lock ” that hit the Chinese head, and the “empty chair” concert of Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki will go down in history for protesting the meaning of totalitarianism.

A ridiculous incident occurred in Shanghai, China, tonight. During the "Game Carnival 2025" event held by Japanese game company Bandai Namco in Shanghai, the stage's lights and screens suddenly went out while Japanese singer Otsuki Makiko was performing the "memories" ending theme from One Piece, and Chinese officials pulled the plug. The performance was forced to stop. .....

Okinawa, located at Japan's southernmost tip, has a history that stretches back thousands of years, from prehistoric times to the present day. In the 14th century, the Ryukyu Kingdom was founded (1429–1879), thriving through trade with China, Korea, and Southeast Asia due to its strategic location. The kingdom flourished for around 450 years before being annexed by Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912), marking the beginning of Okinawa’s integration into Japan as a prefecture. Following World War II, Okinawa was under U.S. administration before being returned to Japan in 1972. The Okinawa subject remains an unsolved problem, as the status of the Ryukyu people after World War II has not been finally determined up to now.
The following map of Chinese origin can serve as an example, marking the problem China and surrounding states are having with the interpretation of national sovereignty related to the Eastern and South China Sea.
