If a war between China and Japan really breaks out, I for one doubt how many Chinese soldiers and military technical personnel will act valiantly in pivotal combats, particularly given the well-known fact of the ever exacerbating situation of pervasive corruption and money-worship in China's society.

I see it in Canada. And I see it on Douban.com .

During the journey to re-define the future, sometimes one has to sacrifice significant short-term monetary gains in order to seek higher long-term profits.
