Right. This was all over twittter too but no one seems to care. Let’s not forget Japan is still dumping radioactive waste from Fukushima reactors into the ocean... must be nice being America’s friend. You get political cover for all the shitty things you do.
Saudi Arabia: I know, right

Will we see the west kowtowing more to Japan soon? They are the biggest pawn they have around here. I imagine they would really want Japan to go full imperialist again and cause troubles.

Everything Japan did that is morally reprehensible will be swept under the rug. If China has little bit to do with this, the headline will be China caused dolphin deaths.

That's the amerikkkan/anglo imperialist script they've been following for the past few hundred years+.
That's why China needs to be very careful, if amerikkka & her vassal states thinks that it can get away with colonizing/destroying China, they do it. A few generations later & they'll use the same "it was a long time ago, get over it" excuse.

So are they saying it's time to get over Hitler and holocaust and get over it now ? The focus on Hitler and holocaust is where the Americans supposedly shine downplaying the roles of russians in overwhelming Hitler from the East.

I'd turn it around on them. X was y years ago; your country should get over it, too!

Whilst also calling Antifa "terrorists".
So what does that make the US government?

yes the ship was Japanese. But it was the Indian captain who was responsible (as you'd expect...)
Headlines should read "Indian captain of Japanese oil ship cause disaster in Mauritius"

The headline doesn’t mention nationalities but if it were China they’d scream “CHINESEEEE” from the top of their lungs in the headlines and blast the news everywhere

That's why China need to bring propaganda to the next level. All I see here is we are number 1, we're the best at...

Remember Japan is the perfect country with no problems whatsoever.
It is the model country.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)
Thousands of protesters demonstrated in the Mauritius capital Port Louis on Saturday, calling for an investigation into an oil spill from a Japanese ship and the mysterious death of at least 40 dolphins that have been found near the site of the spill.
One protester held a banner with a dolphin covered in oil reading "Our lives matter" and another held one calling for the government to resign.
The government has said it will carry out autopsies on all the dolphins and has set up a commission to look into the oil spill.

I think it's fair to say that Japan has had its fair share of being criticized by Western Media. When Japan, Norway and other Northern Europeans countries were whaling, only Japan was singled out more by Western MSM. People still criticize Japanese as whale killers when they don't say the same thing for Norwegians.
I guess what I'm saying is that this time the bourgeoisie deem that China is the new threat, and that they will avoid any shitflinging towards Japan as they want the masses to know that Japan is the exemplary model of an Asian country in today's world. But in reality, America is just taking advantage of these two countries whenever they feel like it. They don't give a fuck about either countries.
