Anti-China Bias in News 2

Headline 2: "China riles Japan, U.S. with air defense zone"

Commentary: Again, the Big-Bad-China-As-Aggressor claim is heavily concentrated in the 
headline, and not substantiated in the article itself.  Most Americans only 
read headlines, they are brainwashed and inured to the anti-China bias.

Japan is a master at public relations in the US.  We got to respect their 
ability to get away with murder, by pretending to be the victim and 
maneuvering China into a bully like stance.   

China needs to make sure the US public/governemnt don't get dragged into 
taking sides in a Sino-Japan issue.  We, the Americans and the Chinese, will
both lose if we allow the anti-China bias to influence US policy.   

Japan will probably lose too, but Japan has a long venerable history of 
provoking-China-to-war-to-weaken-China-at-all-cost strategy.   And no one 
should underestimate Japan, look at 甲午戰爭， sneak attack on 
Russians, British, Chinese and of course the Pearl Harbor.   Japan won every
single war except against the Americans.   Not for lack of trying or lack 
of sneakiness or lack of PR preparation.

Back to my topic, when I see these unsubstantiated alarmist anti-China 
headlines, I'm hearing the drumbeat of war, a pointless, mutually 
destructive US-China war.  And it has a very subtle Japanese rhythm to it, 
which American public is blissfully unaware of.   Herein lies a trap for 
both Americans and Chinese, we are more on the same side than anyone realize
, and are being slowly entrapped into a conflict that may be both of our 
destruction.  

亲者痛仇者快的事情中国没有少干； 恶人先告状的事情更是日本的伟大国策。  中国
还是学学吧。
