Japan’s pledge to defend Taiwan from Chinese is a big shift for a pacifist nation

For many people in China and Korea it is a frightening thought – Japanese military forces at large in East Asia, as they were in the Thirties and Forties , when they invaded, conquered and oppressed people from Manchuria to Burma.

This was the image evoked by a Beijing government spokesman after Japan’s deputy prime minister, Taro Aso, said that his nation would join the United States in defending Taiwan against any Chinese invasion.

“Japan’s militarism has committed countless crimes of aggression against China,” Zhao Lijian, deputy director of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in Beijing. “The fact that certain politicians are still nostalgic about Taiwan [a former Japanese colony] shows they have not learnt a deep lesson from history.”

Did Japanese ambassador apologize?
Did Japanese PM apologize?
Did Emperor of Japan himself apologize?
And how many times?

Again you are just like Iris Chang,nothing will satisfy you ,you will always pick someone from the 100 million odd Japanese, that doesn't agree with you side of the story.

Japanese mind and heart has been replaced by US with victim mentality to justify nuking and war on Japan,Japanese are the most apologetic people there ever is,and hence Japanese PM,Emperor,Ambassador apologies unconditionally

.But anyone that has done a genuine study based on historical records and documents not reading just some testimonies,will see the typical pattern of history is written by victor situation on this ,as it has happened since the dawn of humanity,the ruling regime vilified the previous dethroned regime and so on.So there will always be some naysayer,unless u prevent human critical thinking when they get across recorded facts like this.

The head of the Police Department of Nanking, Mr. Wan about a week before the Japanese attack on Nanking:The population of Nanking is about about 200,000. .

The International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone, which was a group of Westerners remaining in Nanking, announced : “About 200,000 people still live here in Nanking.” Five days after the Japanese occupation, on December 18, 1937.

The International Committee On January 14, 1938, about one month after the Japanese occupation: The population of Nanking had increased to about 250,000.

Would people flock to a region deemed ground zero for massacre? based on facts it seems Chinese people liked the stability in Nanjing after Chiang Kai sek's dictatorship was removed from the region ,and flocked there.
How can Japan kill 300k civilian from a city population of 200K?

Red Swastika Society, a Chinese voluntary association in Nanking, recorded the figure was 40k burials,that's your death toll for battle.Only 0.3 percent consisted of women and children,. The burial list has the distinction of sex and rough age.


And then Zeng Xubai(the head of the Kuomintang Central Information Department, Autobiography): “paid out money, requested that [Timperley] write a book ''what war means"(, and succeeded in having it published.” .The Rabe-Timperly-Bates trio and their close associates that are the primary source for Nanking massacre,personally acknowledged they never saw a single massacre committed by the Japanese in but testimony or personal memo to embassies,totally different than what they preached in Media and KMT sponsored book "what war means"-which is the the first book about nanking massacre written by Timperley sitting in Shanghai based on what he "heard"....,he was in fact, an advisor to the Nationalist government’s Ministry of Information. Rev. Bates, a famous Christian missionary who taught at the University of Nanking, was also an advisor to the Ministry of Information. Rabe was the head of the Nanking branch office of Siemens AG, which had sold antiaircraft guns to the Chinese Nationalist Party. As an arms merchant . These are your source of Nanking massacre ,and they all these characters have never seen any massacre themselves based on their own words.

China seeks to silence and displace any voice of investigation in the legality and reliability about the massacre ,any voice not 100% agreeing the Beijing narrative will be shunned.


You are mistaking the aid related sum for investment which runs in another many many billions,Japan didn't forced china to take it,China wanted it ,China never complained about any unfair practice or terms.


? The Qing official map isn't about what Japan won by war but about what was Japan's territory according to Qing China meanhwile you posted latest printed qing empire map,Senkaku didn't belonged to Taiwan or Qing ,Taiwan just a rock with may be few tribes, senkaku was acknowledged as part of ryuku kingdom based on Qing documents ,that's what I'm saying. .Taiwan was stand alone deal based on documental records.

There's actually more recorded documnets of Chinese atrocities on Japanese civilians than from the Japanese side u,nless you pull the figures from like nanking massacre ,refuted by Mao himself,those aren't supported by documental records.

1. So you define apologizing as saying a few words of apology? Will Japan sincerely apologize to China and compensate them the way Germany did to the Jews and Israel? In fact, the Japanese people and the Japanese government still seek to deny the past, they have repeatedly provoked and interfered in China's internal affairs in recent years.
-If Japan can do that, what right does it have to blame China when China wants to take revenge or take actions that are considered “provocative”? Why should China yield and be friendly towards Japan when China is stronger than Japan at present? Even if China is really wrong, they just need "some apologies", right?

-If you think that China's statistics are propaganda and untrue, then on the contrary, on what basis do you assert that China's massacre of Japanese civilians is not propaganda, fabrication, exaggeration and false. Or does your logic only apply to China, not Japan?



2. China has never pulled out a gun to force Japan to do anything. China wants aid? Does Japan want rare earths from China? Does Japan want the Chinese consumer market? Does Japan want cheap Chinese labor?
- So before that, did China want Japan to invade, bomb, plunder, and massacre? Does China want Japan to send spies into their country in the name of cooperation and aid?
-Japan does not force. Does China force Japan to do the above? Or Japan wants it?

3. The problem is that you are based on an old map and say that Senkaku/diaoyu is part of Japan. But according to that logic, Japan also has no right to claim the northern islands and diaoyu/senkaku, according to this logic, if only based on the old map, Japan is limited to its territory. before implementing expansionism
In 1895 Japan won a war against China (Qing dynasty) and China has to give Taiwan to Japan, which Japan ruled as a colony until 1945. The treaty sign was called the Treaty of Shimonoseki. In fact, Diaoyu Island was not mentioned in the Treaty but as Taiwan administered Diaoyu Island, Japan officially controls the sea around Diaoyu Island. Still, no one lives there as it is quite uninhabitable.

Maya Class is even more advanced than the new Arleigh Burke Flight III

But still less capable than 052D and 055. Maya still uses slanted canister launchers the way Type 052C does.
