In my opinion, all of Japanese history book is not wrong. I am an Japanese and I studied relation between Japan and China. I'm sure that Japanese army did a person a bad turn in the Second World War. I think Japanese goverment should apologize their acts.
However Chinese seem to have the past thing all the time. Then they blame Japan. I want Chinese to look at real life. They shold look at good point in Japan. For example, Japan gives finantial assistance, it's a lot of money. And there are many Japanese companies in China. It's more important rather to become friendly than to become unfriendly. What do you think?

I 'm angry to saw your views.
You said:"However Chinese seem to have the past thing all the time. Then they blame Japan. "

First ,The japanese killed too many chinese in WW2.Japanese hurt chinese ' feeling ,japanese suport their goverment 's war.In fact ,about 500 years ago ,japanese invade china many times.

Second,you said"""I think Japanese goverment should apologize their acts. "
In fact ,they didn't !
Chinese looking at real life. Many japanese want to invade china again.
japan-goverment made trouble in Aisa.Not only chinese hate japan ,But also include korea , Vietnam and so on.why chinese not hate korea,Vietanam ,russia.Only japanese????????

"Japan gives finantial assistance"
I think you are abashment to said this. In WW2,many chinese kill by japan ,about 30 000 000 died because of japanese 'invade.The japan'army not only kill so many people ,But also ,the damaging(broke) so many chinese ' products.they rob chinese ' resourse.

Oh my GOD!
japan gives finatial assistance,they want to control the chinese ' politics.
I don't think that ' kind of the japanese.In history ,Us gave finatial assistance to many countries of Europe . In fact ,Us control many of their
politics.

1.the japan goverment will stop their assistance.
2.we desert the japanese war reparation after reparation.
3.Because of tsunami of the indian ocean ,China-goverment send rescue
team very fast,Through china is not very rich ,We subscribe the people too.

At last,I think you are so foolish man ,japanese really very wild.

There is no point in Japan apologizing anymore, because they've done so numerous times in the past, and their past apologies and the compensation(Official Development Assistance) paid to China have been ignored. It just seems to me that Chinese don't really want an apology from Japan, they just want to appear as victims. Are Chinese students taught that there are many atrocities which past Chinese governments have committed for which apologies have never been issued to the victims(i.e Vietnam border incursions, Korean War, Boxer Rebellion, Cultural Revolution, Man-made Famine of the 20th century)? Why not clean up your own act before going on a hate-mongering rampage.

Totally wrong,the one,who ought to apologize formally to the world for the past sins,is Japanese emperor and government,they haven't do that yet.And do not intent mixing compensation with the loans you provided which we will return back.China and Korea had alreay formally given up your compensations after the war ending in order to help Japanese rebuilding Japan. And do not intent leading the discussion off topic that we are discussing of.Its Japanese history textbook,not Chinese history which we know clearly and much better than you.Your behavior show us that you still have not the courage to face up your past.What you are doing is ceaselessly avoiding cowardly only.

If you continue your attitude like this,you will never get yourselves out of the past impression of other people,never get a permanent status of the UNSC and never get the forgiveness of the victims.On the contratory,the Germans have done too much better than you,they are getting recognition of the world gradually.

2,"are chinese people doing correct action? they attack people who isn't
army" I think because japanese' actions really made many chinese angry!

invaded china many many times in history.china didn't.Every times The japanese killed so many chinese are all not army .Even include woman and children.who can tell me what it si human right????GOD Who could cry for them???

recently ,some chinese kenw what they did ,Our leaders told all the college students (people )to keep coolness.

And I think japan must know never correct their action is very very

dangerous!!!

3.In fact ,I know ,we are all common beings,all the chinese love peace,all the chinese hate war.Include me. we all common beings ,I hate japan ,I hate some of japanese who want to invade china and makes trouble. I like Germany ,DON't like japan .I think not only chinese think so ,BUT ALSO I think korea and the other countries in Asia.

I want to make friends with Foreign people in the world.I haVE

from south Africa .welcome to china,we want to communite with
you. I will introduce you to visit many intrests,sights ,many places in china.

Where do you get that nonsense from? Japan has already apologized officially and offered national compensation. China refused compensation and accepted ODA. In the case of Korea, they accepted compensation for the victims but the Korean government promptly embezzled money and spent on the economy.

If the Chinese government refuses to teach students about their past invasions and their brutal acts, they are not in the position to criticize another countries education.

It's natural that old people who were mistreated by Japanese dislike Japanese. But I don't think those young people in anti-Japan rallies have been hurt or humiliated by Japanese. Then why do they hate Japan? Young people in other Asian countries don't show such a hatred.

And for example the Vietnam war: The south Vietnam, under the help of America, defeated north Vietnam. And as the war goes on, the battle is near Kung Ming. Do you want to let your district be restricted?

What are you talking about? China attacked Vietnam in 1979, long after the war was over.

And yet, it's totally bald-faced to say we first should apologize for our own little flaws which has nothing to do with your country to let your country apologize for something your country have done directly to us.

Like I said before, Japan have apologized numerous times in the past, yet people like you ignore this fact. Thats why I think there is no point in apologizing if people keep ignoring it.

Japan has already apologized officially and offered national compensation???Don't s/h/i/t on apologize please,you call that apologize?After doing that you go on marching for the war criminals,celebrating what you have done to us?If you really feel regretful for the past you would not have say such word here now.And If we refused the compensation why you say you offered it?Don't be confused by national compensation and personal compensation.When a country gives up her right to acquire national compensation,it doesn't mean the citizens of the country give up their right to acquire personal compensation.

What have I said?I've said we know our history much better that you,and Mr.Admiral has answered many.Don't intend to shift the point on which we are discussing.You evade the point that just shows your real thought.

Now, if your parents, or even your grandparents, or even the parents or the grandparents or a family member of your friend were killed by the Chinese, will you forgive them? Won't you dislike them? And if China didn't admit to it's faults, if China didn't care about wrong information spreading along it's country, how to say?

How about hate the Russians? The USSR essentially stripped Manchuria of all its machinery, factories, oil refineries, etc and packed it off north of the border. The Russian soldiers also killed Chinese people and raped local women. That happened after WWII, so why don't you protest about that? Have the Russia apologised for that or paid China compensation? Or how about hate Koreans for their part in WWII. 148 Koreans were convicted as war criminals and 23 were sentanced to death. I dont think many Korens know this fact.
Japan has apologised again and again, and made compensations. http://www.jiyuu-shikan.org/e/db4a.html http://www.jiyuu-shikan.org/e/db4b.html And Japan has been punished, rather severely in my opinion,the dropping of two atomic bombs and other war crimes committed against the Japanese civilians. The bottom line is the people of Japan of today had nothing to do with WWII, and hating a whole race for ancestors actions is pure racism.

Mr.Admiral wrote:
atmsciTell me, why doesn't the japanese government move the graves of the people killing in China to another place? That will be the best solution, won't it? What the hell the japanese government is thinking when they are telling: Here is the grave of the soldiers who murdered in China, but here are other soldiers, too, and we are only praying for them?

There is NO grave at Yasukuni Shrine. I think It is quite obvious that your opinion are based on misinformation. Misinformation is certainly partially responsible for the strong reactions from China concerning the Yasukuni visit, and it is also a major problem.

Mr.Admiral wrote:
Generally, the problem is that Japanese say that the newer generation should forget everything of its past and the Germans say that the past can't be forgotten.

WHO in the present Japan say that the newer generation should forget everything of its past ? A textbook rarely read in Japan stirred a mass hysteria and race-based violence against all things Japanese (including Chinese owners of them) in China while the government-sanctioned Chinese textbook, with no alternative given to kids, completely ignores massacres in Tibet, Uigur, Vietnam etc. Do Chinese students ever learn about the brutality of Chinese soldiers toward Japanese P.O.W and Shanghai residents during WWII? http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/9609/23/rare.photos/index.html If they don't even know what happens in their own country, how can they tell another country what to do? That is my point.

It is reasonable to say that the Japanese government has never apologized for it sins in the past since it doesn't have the moral courage to admit during the times what its people did. And whenever the leaders are in the spotlight addressing the issue of atrocities occured in its neighbourhood, they either deliver some of the most quoted lines shaking off the responsibility they should have taken for or play a game of words so that the audiences are confuesed with the multi-meanings.

There is something similar in the two countries; they once were really good friends, after all.

You don't know what they feel. They just hope Japan to treat them in a rightful way. And I believe, in their mind, a people's dignity far outweighs diplomatic ties with any countries, even Japan.
