Mainly the Japanese invasion and Manchukuo period. There
are some strong anti-Japanese sentiment inside China because
of the war with Japan. The 8-year full scale war with Japan started in
1937. But actually the real start is the September 18 Incident
in 1931. Lots of people got killed in Northeast China.
