Unfortunately the debate ends up cycling through and people fixate on past wrongs at the expense of the core issue. The last 5 pages are testimony to this. Unfort nationalism + moral outrage + confected outrage leads to a deteriorating quality of posts.
Unfort I can also see that even if someone had the courage to start a sep thread on the ills of the relationship between china, korea, japan, Taiwan + invariably adding up everyone with an interest in the Paracels/Spratlys the thread would turn into virtual WW3 as well as the associated curdled racism that subcutaneously gets injected into some of the responses.
