LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
April 29, 2005
Along with my many friends who are Japanese, I am infuriated by Westerners, Chinese, and others who continue to assert with unequivocal conviction that the Japanese do not learn of past misdeeds committed by the Japanese military and are therefore unrepentant. This is pure hogwash.
We learned about Nanjing. We learned about the horrors of what the Japanese military did to Japan’s neighbors.
And as Japan is a democracy, we also have access to many books and other information written on the subject, which perhaps is something difficult for the mainland Chinese to comprehend, or something that Westerners might have forgotten about.
