djwebb2004 Posted April 20, 2005 at 09:37 AM Report Posted April 20, 2005 at 09:37 AM Hello. I notice a lot of Chinese people refer to Japan as 小日本. This is a pejorative term, isn't it? Is it just a reference to the difference in the size and (in China's eyes) the relative importance of the countries? Or is there a "racial" reference to Japanese height, along the lines of "dwarf barbarians"?
