In a CNN interview, the reporter asked a Japanese student if there was looting. He looked puzzled and then said there was no word for “looting” in Japanese because their citizens would never do that to their community. Sadly, the USA cannot match that standard.

"The lack of resistance from Chinese troops and civilians in Nanking meant that the Japanese soldiers were free to divide up the city's valuables as they saw fit. This resulted in the widespread looting and burglary." - link
