We will not forget the casualties, pain, and suffering that the Japanese imperialist regime imposed on the Chinese people. Any attempt to deny or cover-up this tragedy will be met with strongest condemnation.

    ofc, when we're getting back to the original topic, Japan's stance on this is a lot more problematic than Germany's. Something like the worship at Yasukuni shrine would be unthinkable for a German politician, just as parts of the Japanese history curriculum absolutely wouldn't fly in a German textbook, and both definitely contributes to Germany's relations with its former enemies being a lot better than Japan's, even when it largely pertains to soft power factors instead of hard, material concessions.

    I only wanted to clarify that we should take Germany's official form of WW2 remembrance culture with a grain of salt, and that the idea of an American-led denazification attempt is entirely bogus.
