As China grows in economic strength, it seems that they are beginning to intimidate nations that go against the way they see things. Their campaign of intimidation against nations daring to acknowledge one of it's own political prisoners as a Nobel Peace Prize winner is in full swing, with China telling Japan to not allow its ambassadors to attend the awards ceremony and warning of "consequences" for European nations who do attend.
The sad thing is that, Japan's foreign minister seemed cowed by the threat, stating that Japan would "resond appropriately" to the demands, avoiding saying whether or not Japan would actually attend the event. This timid reaction has reinforced the impression that Japan's current prime minister regards himself as the governor of a Chinese province, instead of a ruler of a sovereign state.
The reaction from European nations however, is the total opposite. France replied sharply that "Our ambassador attends the award ceremony every year, and this tradition will continue this year. The other nations of Europe have also indicated they intend to attend."
What the outcome will be nobody knows, as China has warned that "we will ensure any nation supporting him will be held accountable."
Responses have been regarding this matter with some of it shown below:
China's at it again!!!
China: "NOME OF YA'LL BETTER GO NEAR THE BASKETBALL COURT I HATE THAT PLACE!" Japan: "Ya dawg I totally won't go near it I'm just gonna go stand next to it over here thought alright? If I happen to fall in it's totally not my fault" France: "SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS CHINA YOU AIN'T THE BOSS OF ME!" Rest of the class: "WHAT FRANCE SAID!" The French are acting all tough now But then China will be like "WE DECLARE WAR ON YOU" Then France will be like "GERMANY HELP US!" French NEVER surrender... until they actually start pushing troops Until then they mainly mock from afar like so - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs (Monty Python)
