Chinese netizens are apparently up in arms about Japan. Plus ça change.
Only this time it's not a territorial incursion or some ojisan politico putting his foot in it.
No, the Chinese are angry about a woman. She's not hot enough.
Iira Hongo is Japan's official entry in the Miss International 2014 competition, a beauty pageant with over 70 entries from around the world, showcasing pretty girls representing their countries' virtues.
While Ms. Hongo may well have a very "Japanese" countenance, it isn't anything prettier than we can see in any shop or cafe in Tokyo.

We love internet surveys. They are so revealing because people feel free to be honest with the anonymity a screen provides.
And so we have this fun survey conducted online by My Nabvi Woman in October. From the 243 results (all working women aged 22 to 34) we have been graced with a list of 11 things Japanese women want me to know about their breasts.
10 (tie). Small breasts + bras = cute (14.4%)
Yes, as we know, lingerie has the ability to transform girls with slender bodies into sex goddesses, while girls with smaller chests are still very popular, especially with Japanese ...
You may well be familiar with Sailor Fuku Ojisan, the older gent with a penchant for wearing schoolgirl uniforms in Tokyo, and who has recently been seen together with the almost equally eccentric foreigner who goes by the moniker Ladybeard.
But this may be the start of an even more impressive and bizarre cosplay meme.
In a shopping mall in Osaka City on Sunday, a man made a peculiar appearance and posed for pictures wearing a quasi-adult baby cosplay costume. He had on "bloomer" sports bottoms, an elementary schooler's yellow hat, and various other school student gear that he ...
Here in Japan there is a growing trend for November 8th to be "nice breasts day".
We're not sure how this started -- it's certainly not official! -- but it seems to be a wordplay on the Japanese name and how you can read the numbers "11/08" to sound like "ii oppai" (nice breasts).
People tweeted lovely images of their busts using the hashtag #いいおっぱいの日.
Many famous Gravure models and idols took part too, including Yuka Kuramochi and Megumi Aisaka. (In fact, as far as we can tell from a cursory search, the photos seemed mainly or even exclusively to be models.)
Here ...
We all know what "delivery health" is. Delivery in Japan is often a euphemism for call girl services.
Now here's a lunchbox delivery service that is basically just that, only minus the sex. You only get the hot girl instead.
Platinum Lunch (it even sounds like a kind of premium rate offered by a sex club) is a new service where you can get your meal delivered to your office in Tokyo. Well, these kinds of "bento" services are everywhere. But Platinum Lunch has one special feature.
The delivery is made by a beautiful model or actress.
Okay, so these are going to be famous ...
The Japanese Zentai body suit fetish has evolved.
Z x R is a "baptism" of a Zentai and rubber body contact fetish combo, fused with wet and messy sensations on the skin.
The girls paint themselves and then enjoy the feeling of the sticky, dripping materials.
Created by photographer Masataka "Sei" Satoh and models Miyako Akane and Eri Kitami, Z x R was showcased recently at Fetish Fes Osaka on November 2nd.
For now, we're not sure what the results of this rubber paint play are going to be except a DVD and photo book, but we hope this spawns a new ...
This pick-up tutor is handing out tips on how to score Japanese girls, though his tactics have met the fury of some locals.
Julien Blanc's strategy seems to primarily be just physically grabbing girls and pulling them down into his crotch area. The video below shows him and others doing this and similar things. They manage to do the act itself but quite if it leads to other more interesting "acts" is not shown.
Apparently for "conversation", all you need to do is say Pikachu and you're in! Other techniques he uses are the "choke" and "bathroom pull".
Certainly what he says has a ...
Japanese guys, like their counterparts in porn, rarely use condoms -- which is a nightmare for condom makers and for health services, since it also means STDs are rampant.
Condom makers call on unusual tactics to promote their innovative contraceptives, and this also extends to those trying to promote safe sex.
There is a considerable irony that Japan's condom industry is large -- producing up to 30% of the world's rubbers -- but local usage is possibly ranked in the bottom three in the world.
To improve this state of affairs, Kyosuke Kagami and Opanpon came up with a very ...
And the award for best Halloween costume goes to... this guy dressed up as a Tenga onacup.
He was spotted among the thousands of other Halloween cosplayers out and about on the streets of Shibuya on October 31st.
In the Tokyo Kinky scheme of things, this is the best kind of Halloween costume imaginable.
There were actually three guys around the city dressed up as various examples of Tenga onacup masturbation aids.
Of course, there were plenty of scantily dressed teenaged girls too. They come close runners-up in our competition!
Foreigners have been known to try out ...
As in many countries, Japan has a small but significant female professional wrestler scene. These women are regarded as sex symbols by many, so much so that these strong ladies are invited to pose naked for Gravure or hair nude shoots.
Some of these are delightfully lesbian in tone! Two muscular ladies in each other's arms.
This is Kayo Noumi.
And Hikari Fukuoka.
A tied-up Takako Inoue.
And Michiko Omukai.
And there is also JAV porn too, like "Japanese Muscular Beauty Body Builder Aoi Kirishima" from ...
