The Eight Hundred is considered to be the best Sino-Japanese war film out of China. You have to get over an ick, though, because ironically the soldiers the movie is about were trained by Germany. So they aren't Nazis and wearing swastikas or anything but they are wearing German uniforms and its so strange for me, as a westerner, to see dudes in those WW2 German helmets and such and think, "oh, these are the GOOD guys!"

Assembly is another often recommended one.

There isn't a lot of published academic work on this. It's an assumption by primarily Christian historians who have never seriously questioned it and there is starting to be some push-back on this idea. Now that academic works are being published on this there appears to be plenty of evidence that he was not.

"china could be spying on me from their phones" aside from the obvious "western governments are too" and the secondary obvious that china could just buy data from western companies anyways western made commincations devices CAN BLOW UP IN YOUR POCKET DUE TO SECRETELY PLANNED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND KILL YOUR FAMILY AND ALL THE COUNTRY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SAY THEY WERE TARGETTING TERRORISTS AND BAM YOU ARE DEAD AND THERE IS NO RECOURSE AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED YOU

they would be angry about a play that glorified chinese resistance fighters to unit 731

(reminder that the united states granted immunity to the japanese who did those atrocities in exchange for their human experiment documentation)

I'd be careful of that. There is plenty of evidence that abuse in lesbian relationships is as high as in straight relationships. I think when we assume that abuse in relationships is primarily a male problem we are whitewashing abuse by women and abuse in relationships where there are no men. Whenever I point this out it seems to upset a lot of people but that is not my intention. Interpersonal conflict and abuse in general is genderless so we should expect there to be abuse in relationships of the LGBTQ+ variety. The factors that contribute to abusive partners are much more complicated than just a "power dynamic". Further, power dynamics can exist in many ways that aren't exclusive to traditional masculinity.

But in other styles of government if individuals commit war crimes we must judge the government itself even if it holds those individuals accountable? Why should we carve out an exception for a democracy in this regard? Oh, because "Chiner". That's right.

Well, either way, he's begging to be held accountable. Either he is held accountable and everyone else involved in all countries in the west or we must judge all those "democracies". This is the double-standard he set for himself.
