Traces of Cultural Revolution crimes in anti-Japanese violence

Hong Kong-based senior commentator with Phoenix TV Peter Qiu on the violent anti-Japanese riots targetting Chinese businesses and consumers throughout the mainland this weekend: Thirty-six years on since the end of our collective catastrophe, we as a people have yet to do any serious reflection, which is something unbelievable.

If we don't learn from the Cultural Revolution, these kinds of things will just grow more intense. I hope history proves me wrong.
