It wasn't implied, it was made fun of, it isn't funny unless the public knows about it. Dr. Strangelove wasn't some obscure documentary, but a classic comedy. Operation Paperclip is a well known part of US history, if the CIA had only just declassified it then their attempts to keep it secret were some of the worst in history.

China is not even half as xenophobia as America in many ways, not to mention pure race Japan. China is justified to demonize Japan and America as much as Japan and America demonize China.

Really? Because it seems to me, we don't butcher our people nor do we torture people for stretching. There is a legitimate cause to worry when a country is actively causing harm, its ridiculous to demonize a country for past actions more then half a century ago which did not directly harm anyone but instead simply used leverage against evil people prevent greater harm from occurring. Would you object to plea bargains in the criminal justice system for reduced sentences in exchange for saving lives?

I don't know enough of Europeans, so I avoid commenting on Germany, Austria or France. I have visited Tokyo for many times, have seen those xenophobia right wing propaganda buses with high voice microphones driving through Tokyo streets all day long. Besides, I have read some Japanese novels, watched Japanese TV shows, movies and cartoons from very young. Well, none of the Japanese that I have spoken to show any fascism, but they are usually extremely polite on surface. My comment on Japan does not come from those public statements or "Pacifist Constitution" that is subject to be changed any time, but come from the profoundly cultured Japanese literature and art elements.

So you've seen racist literature, there are similar reports for your own country, but I'd recommend actually seeing the opinion of the average Japanese citizen before drawing conclusions based on a segment of the media.
