Just looking at the title makes me sad. :( They should go flood somewhere else. Like Japan.

Go flood the ocean!

Hey, just look at how those evil Japanese people killed our civilised, innocent Chinese people in Nanjing. We have to get our own back!

Floods have always been part of Chinese history, and the management of floods a sign of the government's commitment to its people. The number, propensity and severity of floods in China today I would put down to deforestation and the Chinese belief that concreting over fields is progress. Kayau don't wish ill on others, if you must hate, hate the miltarists and capitalists everywhere, not the Japanese people. The government of the PRC has said that one of the greatest victims of Japanese agression were their own innocent civilans, betrayed by their own politicians and industrialists for their own vainglory and profits.
