在《中國人站起來了》一文中，我這麽寫道：
日本沒有核子武器，經濟走下坡，又面對人口老化問題，更加不能衡抗中國。
Samuel Huntington 在The Clash of Civilizations 裏指出，穆斯林近年來涉及許多軍事衝突，其中一個因素是他們平均年齡比較輕。日本人口嚴重老化，年輕人已成爲“稀有品種”，你想日本政府會輕易讓他們上戰場嗎？
可笑的是，大馬許多華人，仍然相信日本軍事主義復活論。這在很大程度上是中文媒體煽動反日情緒所造成。如果要有較平衡的世界觀，還是多看英文書報或上英文網站吧。
可是即使像美國那樣的國家，也不是輕易派軍人出場的。
ReplyDelete很多戰場上的工作，已經交由機械人。
在海灣戰爭，美國也沒有損失多少軍士。
我覺得先進的戰爭，需要的不是人，是儀器。

ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by.
Air attack can be done by machines. Occupying still needs human. Thousands of Americans have died in Iraq, and that is one of the reasons approval rate for President Bush dipped.
In any case, when it comes to weapons, Japan is still lagging behind its giant neighbor - China and Russia.
I'd say it's better to read news reports from BOTH sides. From there you'll find a balance without being biased to either side. It's like the news coverage on Israeli-Palestinean conflict. Western medias (esp US) tend to cover more on the Israeli side and revile the Palestineans with images of terrorisms and barbarism. Muslim countries would do the otherwise, focusing on the plights of the Palestineans and more often than not, demonize the Israeli army as the true aggressors of the conflict.
ReplyDelete沒有煤體是決對客觀而公平的，英文報張也一樣。重要的是用自己的思維去探討和分辨對錯。
ReplyDeletekyh, cc
ReplyDeleteAgree with you.
However, remember that anyone - Westerners or Asians - can write in English. So we can listen to different voices even in English media.
I notice that many people who criticize China in English media are actually Taiwanese. Similarly, many people who criticize Islam in English are Indians.
That's history already..

ReplyDeleteYes this is history, but Chinese still hate Japanese.
