The Chinese have lingering resentment toward the Japanese as a

result of the WWII invasion and earlier incursions. In recent months

there has been an escalation in a long-simmering dispute between

the two countries regarding ownership of some islands in the East

China Sea. Chinese businessmen are using the dispute to make

Japanese tourists feel unwelcome in their country. The irony of the

situation is that millions of newly-affluent domestic Chinese tourists

explore sites in their country with expensive Nikkon, Canon and

Sony cameras hanging from their necks.
