Chinese are not dumb to follow everything Mao says and do. In China, many knows Mao great mistake in great leap , cultural revolution and his silly comment regards to Japan invasion of China in WWII. CPC now always ask Chinese to look at Maos contribution to China before the end of Korea War.
The western allies has set Germany a great example of repenting their mistakes from WWII. Asia is weak after WWII and China is in turmoil. There is no strong voice for Asia to make Japan do the correction for her atrocities in WWII.
Do u think we will still have the problem of Japan not repenting for their WWII mistakes if Japan return diaoyutai to China, throwing the ash of WWII Jap out of yasukuni shrine and build a memorial in Japan, reminding the Young's of the mistake of Japan in WWII, ban rising sun flag and never repeat again like Germany do.
Yasukuni shrine is a highly symbolic shrine where Japan worship great Japanese who contributed to Japan. Putting ash of the WWII criminal there. Does it mean Japanese now appreciate their barbarian effort in WWII in killing Asian and western allies for expanding Japan empire?
Macarthur action in Korea war shall be trial but who is going to do it? India?
China need to settle the issue with Japan for WWII correction of their past mistake. That is a more urgent issue.
Chinese are not dumb to follow everything Mao says and do. In China, many knows Mao great mistake in great leap , cultural revolution and his silly comment regards to Japan invasion of China in WWII. CPC now always ask Chinese to look at Maos contribution to China before the end of Korea War.
Mao was no economist and made questionable policies regarding economic reforms but he was a "philosopher",he had a better sense of right and wrong more than any other Chinese leaders in history.
Deep inside he appreciated the Japanese efforts in Asia.
Mao's lessons provided the blueprint for Chinese development ,he's like the farmer that tilled the soil for future cultivation .
You worship Western policies when it's convenient. The anglo saxons make Nazi the evil they are because the anglo alliance won the war ,of course the winner had to justify their cause ,i.e., by vilifying nazi Germany which was direct with their anti-zionist approach and indeed ended up committing atrocities in the process( but still pales compared to the atrocities of anglo saxons). Germany is a typical western imperialist but a brutally honest one, unlike the scheming slandering anglo saxon,the nazi german even identified Japanese and Chinese as so called "Aryan of the east " in their term,and of equals,unlike the anglo saxons that planned to subjugate and slander Chinese and Japanese to psychologically preserve their supremacy propaganda across the globe. The Nazi regime had to be taken down ,Germany was the threat to anglo saxon hegemony before the Soviet and China.CCP will be vilified and dismembered just like nazi germany if anglo saxon alliance have its way in a war.

Do you think China actually want to settle their beef with Japan? Lol
Why don't china demand Vladivostok returned to China? That's far bigger and more important region than some rocks in seas.
But ofcourse , that conflicts with Chinese political agenda for an amicable relationship with Russia,that's China's typical selective approach toward history.
Chinese have to fly to England and Europe to watch their national treasures that the western imperialst looted after destroying edifices of immeasurable value but y'all complain about the Japanese visiting their historical shrine ?
Do Chinese complain about Union Jack? like they selectively complain of Rising sun flag ?
which is simply a traditional symbol for japan rather than an ideology banner like nazi symbol ,rising sun was used much before ww2 and symbolizes luck and have no scandalous ideology like nazi swastika.
Yasukuni shrine is a highly symbolic shrine where Japan worship great Japanese who contributed to Japan. Putting ash of the WWII criminal there. Does it mean Japanese now appreciate their barbarian effort in WWII in killing Asian and western allies for expanding Japan empire?
Do you think Chinese didn't killed many thousands Japanese in ww2?or only your side of the story matters?
What do you think would have happened to Asia without Japan and their
Dai Tōa Kyōeiken policy?
Do you think West would have ever left their colonies in Asia?
The west would have left Hongkong ,Macau,and various parts of china under their control like in Chefoo Tsingtao ,shanghai, shandong etc etc? tibet would have been part of china?Soviet would have lelf Manchuria?
Do you believe that in your heart?
Chiang Kai sek was the sole devil's advocate in Asia ,and was there to complement the spread of western imperialism using China as pivot.That's the WW2 era china's real legacy.China aided US for the imperialism we still see today.
Imagine if Western troops were still present in HK,MACAU and many parts of mainland china ,under a leader like chiang kaisek,the west would have balkanized China many times over.
China is an ancient civilization but the nation were never the most visionary ,contemporary, foresightful and didn't had the sets of idealistic rectitude to take on the mettle of freeing the world from Western imperialism in the imperialist era,hence China instead assisted western imperialism for the chance of serving as gatekeeper(that is until the west had need of). .
Japan is revolutionary,they are clear thinker and initiator that conceived reality(the risk of western imperialism in asia and on asian) and acted in manner that China could only imitate as a mere follower, all of which is evident till now.
China mainly sees the world from a veneer set by a precedent -communist/western ww2 history/decadent US policies,etc etc .
Even its economic and development model, from aid policies to banking and infrastructure, china is ditto of Japan . Japan has always set the precedent in Asia without which ,the world that we live in might not have been so nice for Asians.
If anything ,every asian regardless of his nationality owes their gratitude toward Japan for the freedom and development they enjoy today,Japan paid the price for that.
