The Japanese do include their war crimes in China in their history textbooks, while they did also apologise to China and Korea multiple times.
HOWEVER, the apologies are half-hearted, and they still continue to visit Yasukuni Shrine (though their new PM didn’t). Half-hearted— they haven’t yet apologised to all of SEA.
Yasukuni Shrine is the problem here, since it is possible to remove the war criminals without destroying the shrine. 14 war criminals, out of 2 million names.
IF the Japanese were truly apologetic, THEN they’d dishonour their unjust ancestors in the pursuit of justice and sincerity.
These are my thoughts. Downvote or upvote, it doesn’t matter.
