The people given power in Communist nations take a page from Hitler's book and use the State-run media to whip their populace into a violent frenzy of hatred, directed at the target of their choosing. Mind you, Japan ought to have had the decency to appologize for the terrible things that they did during WW2. This doesn't excuse the Chinese for being racists.
・・・・・Oh,I heared is first.I doubt the Japanese will ever apologize for their warcrimes.
I heard of several Japanese politicians saying that the country should take responsibility for the atrocities it committed during WWII and they have been either killed or threatened by right-wing extremist groups.

Who?
Who were killed by right-wing?Do you know their name?
Please,tell me their name.
I will search them .
BLIXS・・・・・・・・
I don,t hope・・・・・Do you believe "Iris Chang was killed by Japanese right-wing!"?
It is unwholesome to read the book related to the plot too much.
What is the following?
“Nazis constructed secret bases in Antarctica!”
“The Mu continent existed!”
I heard a lot of stories of the plot.
However, all were completely funny rumors.
The worlds are sleazier than imaginations.
Are you a reader of NY times?
from my view, that newspaper is too untrustworthy.
I recommend you to read two or more newspapers.
Delusion is a good word, but unfortunately, neither Japan nor China seems to put too much stock in Reality. Comfort Women and the Rape of Nanking are examples of realities that can easily be proven as historical fact, yet the Japanese are trying to pretend that neither of those ever happened. Both are incredibly well documented. Because Japan seems to have denial issues over things of that nature during WW2, it opens the door for the PRC or anyone else with a vendetta to embellish things a bit.sandy said:・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Seriously reacting separately to Chinese is also ridiculous.
When saying from my experience
The Chinese's anti-Japan movement is not mostly based on the dependable information but also Delusion.
I'm going to have a very hard time accepting that the number of dead in China was only 1.5 million. The Rape of Nanking alone tallied 300,000 a deathtoll. On that and pretty much everything else, Japan's "official" numbers don't jive with the numbers that the rest of the world has, while China's seem to go a overboard. Personally, I believe both sides are guilty of extreme exaggeration of "facts" to strengthen their respective cases and generally make themselves feel better.The fighting dead in China were 1.5 million people in 1945. (by US military report1945) However, the dead become 50 million or 35million people in 2005 now. The dead in China seem to become 1.5 billion people in around 2050 if this pace continues. around 2100,it will be 75 billion.

It is undeniable that China has gotten utterly ridiculous. This is one trouble with the PRC. They like to perpetuate some very big vendettas. Getting back at the West (and Japan) for humiliating them in the 1800's is more of a longterm goal because of the distances involved in doing anything right now. But Japan and Taiwan are grudges that they can take a stab at without having to reach too far at all. The Communist Party of China is perpetuating some very ugly racism against Japan and Japanese. Ultimately, their attempting to take revenge upon the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of the actual Japanese people who did a lot of terrible things to them. In my view, this doesn't make logical sense.As one example though it is the most ridiculous
"Japan is using 1% of gained money for the anti-China activity."
Of course,we are not so free to do such foolish things.
Extreme Chinese tells it to have driven it mad. (Actually, they have
gone mad. )
Banish Japanese enterprises from China.
"Don,t buy Japanese Commodities."
actually,they are also made in china.
Do They want to lose Chinese's works and destroy all-china as their father did in cultural revolution?

I find this ironic (this might be of topic) but did the americans ever apologize for dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan that killed thousands of inoccent men, women, and children?
Forrest_Gump said:You're kidding right?
If not, you really need to stop listening to what you're history teacher is feeding you. Another step would be to start reading about the subject.
If memory serves, the Queen recently had a perfect opportunity (within the last couple years) to offer an official appology and didn't. I'm not aware of there ever having been any official appology given by the UK to Germany for Dresden nor the fact that Britain intentionally targetted civilians during its many bombing raids throughout the war. If you can provide a credible source for a British appology, then I'm all for it.Ted said:I believe the Brits did apologise for the needless bombing of Dresden
I was under the impression that the USA had appologized, but since I can't seem to find any source to verify it. I'll keep looking of course.but the Yanks for dropping the Atomic Bomb twice.... I don't thinks so. It would make a nice gesture though. Even if you think that it was a valid war act, it does clear the air. We all have ot cooperate nowadays and just a tiny "sorry" for lighting up two major cities is just a nice gesture.
Japan is unique in this aspect. (The USA, for instance, does not outright deny that Hiroshima and Nagasaki even happened.) They have tended to completely deny any knowledge or responsibility for anything they did wrong until confronted with irrefutable evidence. Understandably, this has angered the victims of the Japanese Military brutality. Unfortunately, the Communist Party of China and their media have pushed hard on these items to whip up an anti-Japanese fervor throughout China. Its the same sort of propaganda that came as a precursor to the German invasion of Poland in 1939, so Japan has every reason to be nervous.The war is over and the wounds are healing (still) so why not.
And it might be the same denial to apologise that makes the Chinese madder as hell. I would too if the Germans would say that 5 years of occupation wasn't so bad and only a fraction of the people actually dead. (Thay have already apologised on more then one occasion..)

From Publishers Weekly
In a shocking brief that's as much an intellectual artifact as a work of scholarship, Japanese historian Tanaka challenges the idea of Japan as a victim in WWII. The core of his thesis is that in the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, an "Emperor ideology" based on the "family state" came to dominate Japan. Responsibility was seen as unlimited, while rights existed only in a collective context; this set the stage for various tragedies and atrocities. Tanaka offers several case histories to prove his point. They cover the massacre of more than 2500 Australian prisoners in a Borneo camp, widespread cannibalism by Japanese troops in New Guinea, the shooting of 21 Australian nurses in cold blood and the sexual enslavement of Asian women for the pleasure of Japanese fighting men. Also surveyed are the premeditated murder of 32 civilians, including German missionaries, in 1943; Japanese plans for bacteriological warfare; and the use of prisoners as medical guinea pigs. Tanaka insists that the perpetrators of these brutalities were "ordinary" men enmeshed in a criminal system; he also asserts that people of all nationalities commit atrocities in war. He depicts this era as a definable, relatively brief period during which Japan lost its way and ran amok. This seems no more intellectually acceptable than describing the Third Reich as a historical accident. In fact, Tanaka's study resembles German efforts during the 1950s to come to terms with the immediate past. As such, it is a beginning?no less and no more. Maps and photographs not seen by PW.

From Kirkus Reviews
A scholar's harrowing if pedantic briefing on largely unpunished and long-ignored atrocities committed by Japan's military during WW II. Drawing on hitherto untapped archives, Tanaka (Unmapped Territories, 1991) documents a series of appalling war crimes that, with few exceptions, have escaped notice in standard histories of the global conflict. In notably dispassionate detail, for example, he recounts the massacre of more than 2,500 Australian and British POWs in a camp called Sandakan on North Borneo, the gratuitous slaughter of 21 nurses on the Indonesian isle of Banka, and the mass murder of civilians (including German missionaries) in the Bismarck archipelago as Allied forces closed in during the spring of 1944. Covered as well is the widespread cannibalism practiced by Japanese soldiers in New Guinea and elsewhere in East Asia. In addition, Tanaka sheds new light on the infamous Unit 731, which conducted horrific medical experiments on helpless prisoners throughout the Pacific theater. He goes on to disclose that US officials unilaterally granted the responsible Japanese physician and his staff immunity from prosecution in return for the information they could provide on Dai Nihon's plans and capacity to wage bacteriological warfare, data that were never shared with other Allied powers. After reviewing the frightful particulars of his case studies, moreover, the author offers anecdotal evidence of similar behavior by other belligerents, eventually concluding, however, that Japanese barbarity was sui generis. In a concluding chapter, Tanaka attempts to explain without excusing the aberrant conduct of imperial troops on and off the front lines, citing among other factors the authoritarian basis of Japanese morality. Shocking annals that bear gruesome witness to the darker realities of what historian John W. Dower (who contributed a thoughtful foreword to the American edition) called a war without mercy.

Prime Minister from generation to generation also went there. wahtYou may know this, but let me remind you that China and South Korea are deeply angered over Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi's visit to the Yakuzuni War Shrine, a controversial war shrine where Class A War Criminals are enshrined and honored.
After a recent Japanese Defense Paper and a National Military Parade held in Japan, it is very clear that Japan is moving away from the Self Defense Commitment it held during the Cold War. I asked several questions to several Japanese University Students and a majority of them advocate a more assertive and agressive Japan.

I asked several questions to several Japanese University Students and a majority of them advocate a more assertive and agressive Japan. They also wish to prevent China from becoming a global power, hence I have a thesis that Japan wants to become a sole leading power in Asia. The two nations are locked in rivalry that are reminicsint of Europe's path to self-destruction during the First World War.
