China's history activists and the war of resistance against Japan: history in the making
Article Abstract:
The group of Chinese 'history activists' who have maximized their professional independence, social credibility, academic resources and international connections to usurp many traditional roles of the state in presenting modern Japanese history are focused. The explosion of activities over the past two decades is contrasted with the limited public attention paid during the Cold War-era in China to Japanese wartime atrocities and it is further suggested that the history activists may be representative of a new kind of social movement in China.

It is suggested that members of the Chinese middle class are largely moderate due to their intention to maintain the political order and limited ability to stage disruptive action.
