I hope CCTV doesn't find out about this. Otherwise it could turn into massive anti-Japanese protests.

It doesn't seem that the video is edited at all.

By the way, what Ai Haibara said is correct, right?

Well apparently Abe's grandfather, father and father-in-law have all served as government ministers or lawmakers so it's pretty accurate a comment...

So the Chinese using a scene from the movie of Haibara criticizing politicians and use it to further their agenda to bash Japan in every way they can?

I wonder if they even seen the movie and understood the context of the scene or are they just using it as an excuse to bash Japan? I see it as her criticizing nepotism and dirty politicians in general regardless of country and Japan is not the only country who suffers this problem either.

From the articles I've read the Chinese politburo is peppered heavily with 2nd and 3rd generation members.

And, of course, the US isn't happy unless we've got someone from the Kennedy clan ensconced somewhere in the Federal Government.

Human nature, plain & simple.

Pretty much. I'm mostly staggered by the notion that China of all nations has the nerve to criticise any other country's governmental corruption...

Leave it to the [removed] to do this. I'm surprised they haven't raised a ruckus about Starblazers and the re-floated battleship IJN Yamato, from WW2 back when that series was released.

They probably did, we just didn't notice it.

Yes, because all the beliefs/actions of the Japanese can be based on an animated show created by one person who created it solely for entertainment... Rolling Eyes

Might as well use a clip of a bad American film to criticize America... Razz

But....really? I had a good laugh.

:/ I can't think of any Kennedys serving in government. I can think of a couple who are activists...

Yeah don't forget this is the same China that has a lot of corruption problem and others like today I read this article about one CCP Politburo member is accused of nepotism.

It's not Hitler I'm concerned about, it's the moeified Mao, if they know about this, I hope it doesn't end up into massive anti-Japanese protests like the last time over the Senkaku Island.

Fits for China's moe Mao for being tsudere every now and then. China is off its rockers again, nothing new; they feel better having to need to find something to blame Japan or lack of thereof.

Yeah, and despite past tensions relating to a certain incident with Nanking, China has no right to criticize and accuse Japan's government of corruption and nepotism when they have just as much as dirty laundry as any other country and the way they attempt to censor anything bad relating to them and tarnish China's name regarding certain incidents like the infamous Tienanmen Square incident in 1989, I would say that the "Not So Different" trope is in full effect here.

Who are the Chinese to criticize when they have things just as bad or worse? The wife of one of their officials was involved in the murder of a British businessman in China. There are also concerns about them manipulating their currency to keep their stuff low. China should be concerned about it's own standing before it criticizes anyone else.
