Japan can't say sorry

why do people overlook the fact that Japan has refused to acknowledge their part in the Rape of Nanking and other horrendous was crimes? I would go to say that Japan is worse than Germany in this regard as Germany has tried its best to move past its history and help those affected by it but Japan does the complete opposite. theres a shrine that commemorates 100 war criminals 14 of which are class-A criminals which are the equivalent to Hitler or Himmler. one of their prime ministers was a class-A war criminal. why do people refuse to believe that Japan is anything other than a cute, peaceful nation and why have the UN not made Japan apologise to China, Korea etc?

Less people know about The Nanjing Massacre than you'd imagine, let alone heard of it, regretfully.

theres a shrine that commemorates 100 war criminals 14 of which are class-A criminals which are the equivalent to Hitler or Himmler.

why have the UN not made Japan apologise to China, Korea etc?

Better that than to go into an endless state of self-loathing

No, just no.

Because they couldnt even if they wanted to.

What do you mean "no. Just no"? Class A war criminals are the highest grade of war criminal possible and therefore hitler , Himmler, Goebbels etc were all class A criminals and so were the 14 in the shrine. I'm not giving my opinion. Its literally a fact.

I would say those who are aware of the atrocities of Japan know just how horrific it was, tbh I have heard stories past on from family members (who heard from other family members directly affected) about the torture on allied soldiers (including Brits) during ww2, and what ive heard is pretty shocking and yes it is never talked about.

I think the shear volume of western soldiers who faced these horrific acts just happens to be much lower and hence less is known, its also much further from home so to speak. And since WW2 Japan has made serious efforts to mend their ways, I do believe they don't have an army nowadays and have very strict policies regarding this and they do make an active effort to show penance however the reality is they cant take back what has happened.
