Never claimed that.

nor does it use hatred zeal towards Japan to serve as a means of releasing its citizens' tension and bolstering their sense of nationalism.
Where does this even come from? Japan does have some answering to do, though, considering that it pretty much brushes over WWII as "We did some stuff and those damn Chinese (and Koreans) had it good under us, but then the US nuked us and it all went to shit for a while." Obviously no mention about the mass rapings, etc.

PRC vs ROC

ready

fight!
At least the PRC respected Tibetan and Uighur ethnic autonomy for a while under Mao. Also the Zhuang and other peoples enjoyed autonomy and looked more favorably to the Communists. The Republic of China, by contrast, pretty much said "Anything that went independent from us is a damn lie" and denied the independence of Mongolia, for example. Also they weren't too kind towards the actual ethnic Taiwanese, treating them more like conquered peoples than "Hey, we're both on this island together."
