When I used to work in China I had a lady ask me why Germany doesn’t have a good strong leader like Hitler anymore

Did you ask her why China doesn't have a good strong leader like Hirohito anymore?

Because Hirohito was the emperor.

I meant that as a catchy thing to say back to her but yea wasnt very clear. Tojo was the psychopath leading Japanese down that rampage like hitler but even he didn’t last the whole time

I would hope the Chinese woman knew enough about her own country's history to know that Hirohito was the emperor of Japan when Manchuria was invaded.
