China protests Japan's application for seat in UNSC

Japan is applying for a permanent seat in the security council in the UN, the UNSC. This application is drawn heavy criticism from China, a country that hasn't forgotten the war atrocities committed by Japan during the second World War.

Now the Chinese vote against the application of Japan - online, that is. "Internet petitions in
three major Chinese Internet portals -- Sina, Sohu and Netease -- surpassed 10 million signatures by Tuesday afternoon."

And it is said that "more than 99 per cent of Chinese netizens who voted at cyol.net -- Chinese youth online -- opposed Japan's bid for a permanent UNSC seat."

History is still alive, especially when there are still some bad feelings on both sides.
