Surely such a glorious day would deserve more than merely switching a day off. The People need more time to properly celebrate such a great victory. How unpatriotic from the government!

It is a historical fact that Japan surrendered to China and it was China that saved the world by dropping a dozen chinese made skunk bombs, three on USA, three on Great Britain, three on France and three on Japan. China Number One, Long Live China. 2015-9-3, remember that day. LOL

The whole world listened to Emperor Hirohito's surrender speech to China. The whole China saw, broadcasted live on TV, the surrender ceremony on September 2, 1945 aboard the People's Republic of China Super Skunk class Navy battleship CHN Yellow River (FAKK-69), when Emperor Hirohito kneeled on both knees in front of Chairman Mao as he signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender to China. China Number One on Earth! Ganbei, September 3, 2015!

So... happy "China getting its ass handed to it, largely due to infighting during the civil war, and Mao being good a guerrilla war tactics, but not field battles, until the rest of the Allied forces defeated Japan's only major allies, and then the US dropping nuclear bombs on Japan, after essentially bringing the country to its knees" Day.

Chiang Kai Shek fought the Japanese. Mao hid in the hills and hoarded guns. Communist China wouldn't exist if Japan hadn't invaded.

Mao actually thanked Japan...Couldn't have beaten the KMT without you! Mao's speech on welcoming Japanese politicians(24 Jan 1961): Partial translation: In the past Japanese warlords had occupied a large part of China, because of that Chinese people had learned a lesson. Without Japan's invasion, Chinese people would not be awaken, neither colud they be united, in that case we(communists) would still stay in the mountains, let alone coming to Beijing to watch the opera. Precisely because of the Japanese Imperial Army, which had occupied a large part of China, making Chinese people no where to go, once they understood, they began taking up arm-struggle, resulting in the establish of many counter-Japanese military bases, thus creating favourable conditions for the coming war of liberation. Japanese capitalist and warlords have done a good deed for us(communist), if ever we need to say thank you, I would like to say Thank you to Japanese war lords. Always the pragmatist old Mao!

It really is a two minutes' hate. Except it will probably end up being two millennia. These people are even more unsophisticated than a fictional dystopian society.
