Before you begin castigating Japanese, both Chinese and Koreans HAD BETTER take a hard look at your own shit. Below is an excerpt from NY Times.
"Given the scrutiny and Japan's comparatively long record of democracy, the textbooks here are perhaps MORE BALANCED THAN OTHERS IN THE REGIONS. China's textbooks, for instance, teach that Chinese resistance, not the United States, defeated Japan in the war; they say nothing of the postwar Great Leap Forward, in which some 30 million Chinese died because of Mao Zedong's misguided agrarian policies.
In South Korea, which democratized in the late 1980's, textbooks have improved, though certain taboos remain, such as any mention of Koreans who collaborated with Japanese colonizers.
Shin Ju Baek, an education expert at Seoul National University, said that descriptions of the colonial period used to focus only on Japanese exploitation and Korean resistance, ignoring the role of Japanese colonialism in Korea's modernization."
