China Japan tension: Your views

China has criticised Japan's decision to allow test drilling for gas and oil in a disputed area of the East China Sea.
The row comes at a time of rising tension between the two nations.

Violent protests took place on Saturday in China against Japan's approval of history textbooks, which critics say play down its wartime brutality.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has told Japan to "face up to history" and admit the suffering they caused during World War II.

Here is your list of accepted comments. Simply copy and paste into CPS Chinese leaders play a dangerous game when they whip up public sentiment against foreigners who are perceived not to "face up to history". They gamble on winning concessions from Japan, but what if the public wants more than the leaders can eventually deliver? What if the public turns its attention to the 30 million who died during the Great Leap Forward and demand an apology from Mao's successors?
