That's interesting because Taiwan was China's Territory and China signed it over to Japan! So I guess China didn't fight hard enough to remain free since they GAVE AWAY part of their country to Japan? “I think it is shameful that we feel thankful that Japan was “nicer” to us than to China and Korea who fought to remain free.”

Taiwan might be imitating Japan and experiencing an identity crisis, so is China in my opinion. I lived there and as a university teacher I was able to observe trends that were either American or Japanese. Japanese animation, music and clothing were in vogue as well as Western versions of it. I don't think Taiwan should be singled out as "imitating" Japan. I think the whole world is ongoing an identity crisis. Nowadays the media sells us an idea of beauty, a lifestyle, etc, etc and many of us, specially youth buy into it. Here in the UK, in Latin American countries, in Taiwan, in China. Trying to be better, appear modern, more sophisticated is nothing new, it is a natural trait in humans. All i have to say is well done Taiwan for being an inclusive country where Eastern culture intermingles resulting in such beautiful and interesting variety. Interesting to read the comments above.

I think it is shameful that we feel thankful that Japan was "nicer" to us than to China and Korea who fought to remain free.

My grandmother lived in Taiwan during the time Japan was in control and only had good things to say about it and even married a Japanese man, my grandfather. I love both the Taiwanese culture and the Japanese culture.

Taiwan was signed over to Japan in a treaty so it wasn't actually invaded now was it? Korea and China fought back because they were invaded by Japan.
