no, it's folly to call it hatred
it's not like france vs germany
u cannot use european models in east asia
China was literally the center of Asia forever, and every surrounding nation was its bitch
with a few exceptions during certain times
it would be more like sweden vs russia
like mongolians, and japan that 1 time
and ofc you can use european models lol
~~The Japs used Bone Arrows until they met the Chinese~~
(until modern times)
japan and china had a war in the 1600s
yeah i know
that 1 time
but that's the exception
japan didnt kowtow to china
not the rule
this was after japan had been in chaos for over a century (sengoku jidai) and china couldn't control it
it did for most of it's history : P
again
im not denying that they fought
they were an isolationist empire and couldnt care less about the chinks lol
Luci it kinda did kowtow to China tbf
but for most of their history, japan was a chinese tributary state
Sort of
not as tributary as korea
>sort of
but they were heavily influenced
the heiian period was the climax of japanese and chinese relations
would you say?
They pretty much copied the Chinese language and made some modifications
thats just because they had the same ancestors
not because they were a chinese vassal
chinese language is very old
Japan was a Chinese tributary?
So much bykksht
japan and china traded
thatd be like saying greece was a phoenician vassal for using its alphabet
I think it's more like a little kid copying an adult
Being stared here
they didn't war as often as france and germany, because they were separated by sea
