Kobe was comparable to an F4 tornado when it hits a major city. Overpasses toppled, skyscrapers partially collapsed, roads with massive holes and smaller/older structures leveled.
It took roughly two months for things to go back to normal with functioning transport infrastructure. Two years for the finishing touches.
Sichuan in comparison looked like Godzilla had an orgy and invited all his friends round. Entire fucking complexes lined up like dominoes. And a year later, millions were still left homeless. It took them 4 years before the Chinese authorities considered the situation dealt with, i.e. the same state Japan had managed to get Kobe back to after two months.
You don't say. The Chinese are still pissed about the whole rape of Nanking/Unit 731 shit. They aren't going to be friendly with each other any time soon.
The communist Chinese didn't even fight the Japanese, mao thanked Japan for the invasion so kmt can be distracted and left mao alone to build the communist army. The modern day anti-Japan nationalist sentiment from China is pure performative bullshit to distract them from the fact half of their country makes less than $200 a month, those currently have jobs are at risk of not getting paid for months or just flat fired while their houses lose 40% of purchase value.
I'm sure that does wonders to convince their citizens to get over grandma being gang raped and grandpa being experimented on to death. Especially knowing that it contributed to them being stuck in a communist hellhole today.
I doubt there're even 1 million Chinese who are descendants of victims of Japanese war crimes that survived the cultural revolution, the femines and then the 30 years 1 child policy. Most Chinese don't care about the sufferings of war victims, their beef with Japan is the shame of the great ancient empire being brought down by a "tiny japan" whom they always looked down as stupid barbarians
If there's a God, I want to see an earthquake converge DIRECTLY underneath the Three Gorges Dam just to see half of their country get immediately thrown back to the 1800s.
7.2 isn’t even going to produce a tsunami.
If China had a 7.2 then 10% of their houses built with fake concrete will collapse.
I'm old enough to remember Kobe and Sichuan.

Pretty much, I trust a rottweiler with a toddler than being in a Chinese made building during a small shake..
