” ... Chinese bitterness over [Japanese} wartime occupation ... “

I think that Japan’s refusal to apologize for the atrocities they inflicted upon the Chinese people will come back to haunt them, and I might add, deservedly so! IMHO

PS: I’m not taking sides with the Commies, but with the Chinese people who suffered so much at the hands of Japanese invaders.

I am so sick of Japanese multiple and repeated apologies to its neighbors. They have been doing so for thirty frikkin years now, repeatedly, through Prime Minister after Prime Minister (most notably Prime Minister Murayama) and through the Emperor (Akihito), as well as paying their neighbors off with Asian development programs and all kinds of grants and assistance and low cost loans and food programs and road construction, without much complaining by the Japanese People.Which one of us sticks up for Japanese Imperial atrocities under their fascist, expansionist administration which was so handily defeated by American Freedom and their leaders hanged by the Allies starting from 1946.

What planet have you been on for the last 30 years?

Dialing back the caffeine here. Sorry about that. Apologies.

Absolutely right, which is the same principle by which all true Southerners should refuse to have anything to do with the Federals in Washington until they apologize and show true contrition for their aggression and atrocities committed against the South during the Un-civil War between the States.

Couldn’t agree more J.Edgar.

Also why wouldn’t you accept my collect calls to headquarters when I’d get drunk and call when I was a kid?

The japanese have apologized numerous times.
