My original point was not about blaming Japan as a nation. It was just to clarify that Chinese hatred was not unfounded as I have pointed out. When I was in college we read Rape of Nanking for our class and the Japanese students didn’t really care about it judging by their expression. I don’t blame them as their government always use the same excuse. Soldiers and doctors that committed crimes went back to Japan to tell their story and repented what they did, but the masses simply don’t care judging by they almost always voted the same right wing government. It’s a sad reality and their could be a lot of reasons for it so expect the tensions between China and Japan to never resolve.
