Leave to crazy folks that would think that a long-running anime would be an attack on another country.

If he seen Kancolle he would've thought it was a declaration of war on China or worse since proper logic just seems to not penetrate his thick skull.

If this guy is serious, he has serious mental problems.
Doraemon is pretty much the iconic childhood character almost every child in Asia grows up with.

What's sad is that if I understand Chinese politics ( And I don't claim more than a vague understanding of anything so complex ) then this editorial wouldn't be published without some level of "official" approval.

And to think I felt that the rich Chinese paying $1,000,000+ for a Tibetan Mastiff was outrageous.

So if Doraemon is "A Sinister Affront to China" I wonder what he would write when watching Mahouka which basically marked "China" as the bad guys........

Reminds me of South Korea banning Hetalia. But this case is even more ridiculous because how I see it, the writer is completely baseless on blaming Doraemon. I bet he's just making fictional imaginary bad points in Doraemon, just like those people who's overly concerned about Illuminati (you know, those ones who say... "Ooh, one eye! Must be Illuminati! Ooh, pyramid! Must be Illuminati!")

I bet he just getting pissy after watching Mahouka Smile . I wonder how he would react if he play DWMultiraid or watch Hetalia. Probably something like "Chinese people don't have hair like this or talk like this or something." Better yet, now I want to hear his thoughts if he read Kingdom which sets in the Warring States period.

And reaction has been mixed? Geez, how many guys did he pay?

"Sinister Hidden Meaning." That reminds of the time when news in Mexico were claiming that DBZ and Pokemon were made for the Devil and for his worshippers! haha Laughing

Strangely in my country too, Pokemon, Digimon, YuGiOh, etc were said to trap children into Satan worshiping. Only fundamental and fanatic religious nuts think so, though... Kinda feel bad for the children.
