China’s military media has been attracting ridicule in China and beyond after it published an article attacking bishoujo tanker anime Girls und Panzer for being secret Japanese militarist propaganda.
The piece, originally published by a PLA affiliated military newspaper, criticised Girls und Panzer for downplaying Japanese wartime aggression in favour of cute girls, even going so far as to suggest it was intended as subtle militarist propaganda and might help train the tank crews Japan is obviously desperate to send rampaging through China.
Even amongst Chinese, the notion that an anime this innocuous is implicated in a resurgence of militarism has attracted ridicule – although despite the online majority dismissing the criticism as crazed propaganda from their own military, some still insist only the Japanese devils could be sneaky enough to disguise their warmongering intentions with girls as cute as those of Girls und Panzer.

So China fears being invaded by lolis driving tanks?
Interesting I can use this information.
Of course there is no defense when it is a loli driving the tank :)
Yeah, I'd surrender and want to be taken hostage by a tank full of cute lolis! :D
Agreed, I'd surrender......my penis to to them :D
Well, given the amount of men in that country, they could use a few lolis.....or a thousand... >.>
someone give this guy a medal!
The government at least, fears every fucking thing. I seem to recall that Command and Conquer Generals got banned, even when China was portrayed as one of the "good guys".
which country's population has the highest ratio of female children (that manage to survive past the age of 5)? They could become a valuable ally.
Russia. They also have the best tanks.
Yeah and the tanks aren't doing so well either.
Not sure if serious. They're rusting away.
As a Chinese, I can confirm that most of my people are just butthurt racists.
As a human being, I can confirm that most of my kind are just assholes.
Amen! I created an account just to applaud you, sir or ma'am.
as a living being, I can confirm most of my planet's species are just useless
As a free thinking atheist, I can confirm religious people and their practices are a wast of fucking time.
including you and, sadly, me.
Yep as a Texas State of USA State citizen, I can confirm that most of the people in my state are assholes and Stalkers. 95 percent associated with any form of law enforcement are stalkers and criminal tresspassers and menacing law breakers. So, I would say Texas, USA is the USA's China.
You're really from China aren't you? No one in Texas talks like that.
I'm a White guy (Brit) and I can confirm that most of my people are just ignorantly racists.
Hurray for self criticism! C'mon rest of you ethnics!
Just you wait until the Muslims come for you in the night!
Life is a crime.
The sentence should be death.
As a glorious white man, your people aren't the only ones.
Hey come on China couldn't be that bad, I mean I know your marines sucks but army and air force are rockin aren't they?
First of pedo: The only acceptable wise chinese on sankaku?
Earning good reps does have it's benefits. Toast to your good sense.
Most east asians in general are inferiority-complex ridden mouthy bitches anyway.
Considering jap attitude though, I would love to have the chinese roll into japan and rape every single one of these uppity japs in all the holes they have, plus the ones you can make.
And this is coming from a minority.
I wonder what made them think this was military propaganda?
The show portrayed the Japanese tanks as some of the worst (if not the worst) tanks in the entire show.
You'd think they'd approve of all those shot up Japanese tanks.
Waiddaminute, you seriously thought for a fraction of a second that they actually watched the show?
Oh come on it's the PLA's official newspaper. Do you think they'd ever investegate these stuff?
Girls and tanks. Two of my favorite things.
To bad the anime sucked...
Coming from a Mother-Fucking asshole who has aircraft carrier, more tanks, more fighter jets and bunch of nukes than the one he criticize(in real life).:P
I am a Chinese and I embrace this kind of Militarism. We need to have an aircraft carrier and more tanks so that we can capture all these cute girls during war. Gotta catch them all! Another reason we have tanks is because we need a few of them to run over college students.
college students? you mean both male and female? I thought you run over loli.
He is talking about Tiananmen Square incident.
college students? how about your politician they are involve in corruption, murder(although it his wife) and sex scandals.
sorry, the tanks are in their hands
They don't have "aircraft carrier" they have some russia leftover flat deck ship, with painted over rust and they managed to land a plane once on it... even the french with their CDG in dry dock make for a more potent nav-aviation threat...
Thats all fine and dandy, but dont whine and cry when someone else is doing the same thing. Thats the rediculous nature of this article
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK!
JAPAN WILL DIE!
Looks like you just gave a fuck yourself
Hahaha, Nice One MAN!
and some news for you, yuou will die too! we all have to die sometime, so who cares?
lol #YOLO XDDDDXXXXDXDXDXDXDXDDDDDXD
Bitchy ch !nk. Tuck your lips in and scram.
It may die, but at least it would not die in atomic fire, like China will.
If this is Propaganda, I am switching sides to Japan :3
Duh, they are a bit late, with Uppote!! and a bunch of other animes/mangas/doujinshi mixing girls with weapons by now... damn extremists, always disconnected with reality.
"Hello kettle, this is pot."
"'hello pot, this is troll'"
And that's why China's going to lose.
seriously why is this still going on?
imagine the chaos if france , U.K. ,russia and other countries would still bear a grudge against germany and italy seriously -_-
