The fact is, Japan invaded China and China took the brunt of the rampage of unbridled massacres perpetrated by the Japanese military machine against them, years before WW2 started.
President Xi Jinping today said that China will never forget Japan's war time atrocities but it will not hold a grudge against the entire nation as the atrocious anti-human crimes were committed by the militarists.
Japan has gotten away with their WW2 genocide with the connivance of the Allies (well, China being Commies and all that). Japan was utterly ruthless against anything not Japanese and need to do a Germany and admit that they were the aggressor. Japan were on the same page as Nazi Germany and acted accordingly right across the territory they went a-conquering before and during WW2. To this day, many Japanese who were born after 1945 are still not remotely aware of the war crimes committed by their country. A good place to start to rectify this dereliction of accountability would be to have historical accuracy injected into the books used in the Japanese education system. Currently, they imply that they were mostly the victim of aggression. Not true.
