Re Japan and the Legacy of its War

An interesting comment from a guy in China was this: 'We don't want Japan to be humbled or destroyed or even punished. We get really upset when they keep trying to say they didn't do anything wrong, as they are saying now under PM Abe. This is so hurtful to all in Asia and stirs so many memories. For some deep and dark reason our Japanese neighbours will not let us grieve for our many murdered millions in peace. Japan just needs to shut up, to deny it all in silence if they have to, but to shut up about their 'beautiful noble honourable history'. We are neighbours so we do tolerate Japan, and trade with them, and have many connections, but we are also still grieving such a massive loss and such a massive horror. If they can't be sorry, even for their own benefit, they just should shut up now.'
