No. It's once incident in a country that is thousands of years old inhabited by billions of people who have absolutely NOTHING to do with it. In your broad stroke approach, you may as well judge other countries and civilizations by one incident.

The picture's title is a positive broad stroke. I'm just lending perspective by suggesting it's opposite. No country is entirely good or bad. But No country should be allowed to forget their mistakes. Something that China is trying vehemently to do at the moment with their censorship.
When I see someone with their head in the sand, I speak up.

Do you post link to pearl harbor everytime you see Anime drawing or photos of Japan themes?

If the artist is saying "This beautiful cherry tree is the epitome of Japan." Or something similar, I might.

The photographer simply stated this is an Chinese architecture, not saying anything about how it's related to China. The viewer makes up the conclusion. So your argument is not justified.
Also the same photographer has beautiful photos of Japan, and I don't see you post any anti-Japan posts there. How about just stop acting like a racist troll and simply enjoy art.

See, I took "This is China" in a non-literal sense.
Like someone taking a picture of McDonalds and saying "This is America"

If I was off base with that, then I owe everyone an apology.

It seemed, that the author was pointing to a beautiful piece of culture and saying "This is the entirety of China"

I found that false. That is all.

So b/c you, obviously NOT Chinese, find it to be false because this is all you know about China. Who's the ignorant one here?

So... This picture of a beautiful building epitomizes the entirety of Chinese culture and history then?

Nothing bad ever happened?
The Chinese government isn't trying to erase the past by systematically controlling which versions of history it's people are allowed to see?

I actually know quite a bit about China.

You have to understand I have nothing against the picture, it's the title that bugs me.

You also have to understand that I am entirely opposed to national pride of any kind from any country. I think it does nothing but inflate egos and stand in the way of peace.

Looks like the castle in "Spirited Away".

Neat.

Spirited Away was a Japanese story.

I guess I just failed

Any case, I thought they actually looked alike; but then again probably Chinese architecture won't have anything to do with the Japanese.

I can't tell, since I've never been to none of both.

Japanese architecture is heavily based on Chinese so I can see why you might be mistaken.
