Neither does putting up messages like "CAPITALISTS ARE EVIL". But thats the beauty of human nature - everyone is a fanatic.
I don't hate Japanese people, but I realise that anti-Japanese feeling in China is generated by Japan's actions. A taxi-driver I spoke to during a recent trip to China said if a Japanese businessman travelled in his taxi he would kill him.
Why? His grandad was a victim of a Japanese "medical experiment", and the same doctor who cut him open alive, is living in a luxurious mansion in the suburbs of Kyoto (he was never imprisoned).

No, you don't, and neither do I. We weren't there :)
Where were your parents? I assume they were Chinese, or foreigners in Shanghai? My grandparents bore the brunt of the invasion unfortunately, and they're quite anti-Japanese. I would imagine your grandparents, after watching their fellow countrymen and women raped and mutilated by the Japanese, would habour some poor feelings.
