It's cool because Chinese people don't accept what they are doing in the PRESENT, like supporting multiple terrorist organization and dictatorships around the world.
I would be curious what they have to say about the Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731. My impression is that Japanese people have extremely limited knowledge on these atrocities.
I think the effects of Japan's invasion which led to Communists taking power and enacting things that destroyed a significant amount of Chinese culture and society like the Great Leap Forward isn't talked about at all in Japan for political purposes
Most of them know these incidents, but they would refrain from talking on these hard issue for street interview though and this channel is not going too far for complex historical topics.
>Nanjing Massacre Most non-Japanese also have a shallow knowledge of Nanking, like "Yeah I know the Japanese army mercilessly killed over 300,000 people in Nanking", which they got from social media. There is no primary source for the 300,000 deaths in the first place, and this claim is based on a novel written by Iris Chan. Nanking massacre was nothing more than warfare where the Japanese army slaughtered the KMT army including guerrillas, with acceptable civilian casualties. Kuomintang soldiers took off their military uniforms and pretended to be civilians to carry out terrorist attacks against Japanese troops in Nanjing and other parts of China. It was forbidden by international law at the time for military personnel to remove their uniforms and engage in guerrilla activities. This is similar situation of afghan war. In Afghanistan, Taliban soldiers frequently pretend to be civilians and carry out terrorist attacks against U.S. soldiers, and U.S. soldiers execute Taliban soldiers without mercy. A lot of r*pe and massacre was done even by Chinese soldiers bythemself before japanese entered Nanking and this was officially recorded by western survey of at that age and they were replaceing it to japan. Mr. Espy, the U.S. Deputy Consulate General of Nanjing, said in a document submitted to the Tokyo Tribunal: "One thing to note here is that the Chinese soldiers themselves plundered before entering the Japanese army. During the last few days, Chinese soldiers were undoubtedly assaulting and looting people and property. In the rush of Chinese soldiers to take off their military uniforms and change into ordinary civilian clothes, various incidents occurred, and some of them were killed to peel off their clothes ." (AI = p. 290-1). And the famous photo of a Japanese soldier bayoneting a child has been identified as being taken from a scene in the movie "Hong kong 1941" If you are curious, buy DVD and find out for yourself. Besides this, many of the photos purported to be evidence of the Nanking Massacre have already been debunked, and most of them have nothing to do with Nanking. And people always mention John Rabe when they talk about Nanking but all he did was report the 20,000 women graped rumor he had heard from WASP missionaries in the area. He would later account in his own biography before his death that he saw no more than two instances of the crime I mentioned. Again, 20,000 is a made up figure. His testimony was full of inconsistencies and unreliable that not a single one of his statements was even used in the postwar trials. Also, people think that the Japanese government denies the existence of the Nanking Massacre, but in fact it is not true. The current position of the Japanese government is that a battle with the Kuomintang took place in Nanking, and that an unspecified number of people were killed in the process. And that the figure of 300,000 victims should be debated. As I mentioned earlier, the only evidence for the 300,000 casualties is Iris Chan's novel, but thanks to CCP, this has been taken as historical fact all over the world and people like me are treated as revisionists just because we disagree with this. As for Nanjing, we can't have a constructive discussion at all.
@@bakabon114 Nah, most younger Japanese and even some middle aged do not know what they are. I saw a video a while back asking if Japanese recogonized the "Nazi" flag. Not a single interviewee did except for an 80 year old man. Most of them just thought it was the "manji" and that it looked like a band logo lol. It goes to show how those stains in Japanese history during WW2 is not extensively taught in schools.
I have a true story I personally am an Indonesian who is ethnically Chinese. Before 1945, precisely in Borneo, Kalimantan, Indonesia was colonized by Japan and the Japanese army prioritized killing ethnic Chinese who had a lot of wealth. My grandfather's father was also a victim because Japan was afraid that our ethnic Chinese would send money to the Chinese government. but times have changed china has become a world giant that dares to challenge america i want to ask you which asian country dares to challenge the united states????? only china it's up to you japanese if you say i was brainwashed by the pkc but what is clear is history records even in indonesia that japan colonized indonesia cruelly i personally really hate japan and i think this hatred could trigger a war in the future currently japan is in a birth crisis and Japan often experiences natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis and I see that Okinawa seems to be controlled by America. This news is clearly covered up by the BBC and their gang. 🇨🇳🇲🇨🤝
Let's not forget ethnic Chinese cleansing by Malays in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand. Chinese are discriminated everywhere they go. It's really unfair.
@@sara.cbc92that is the influence of divide and rule but the fun fact is that more than 50% of the economy in Indonesia is controlled by ethnic Chinese people such as Indomi, Mi Sedap, Kapal Api, big local Indonesian brands are owned by Indonesians who are ethnic Chinese but now times have changed they are aware that it is the West that provoked all of this
If a Japanese person asks me how much the Chinese communist government pays you, my answer is simple, it can buy your dirty mouth and your empty brain.
The coin have 2 sides and you seem to speak only one side though. Before and during WW2, Japan was the only Asian country dare to challenge the West (British, Australian, French, Dutch and American colonialists in Asia). Japan liberated and decolonized parts of Asia, including Indonesia from Dutch aggressors. Indonesia would never achieve independence without the support from Japan to Sukarno's movement back then.😃
China “Japan must apologize to countries in the Asian region, especially China, Indonesia, Malaysia,” World “If China would just apologize for what happened in 20th and 21th centuries maybe the other Asians, Westerner and Latino would stop hating them.”
totally agreed and especially to the Koreans too,! these short crooked leg, ugly teeth monsters need to afce reality and apologize to the millions of people they have slaughtered during the World War Two before they cant go and face the world with honesty and integrity, when people say Japanese are nice they must been brain washed by their lies!
China has still not apologised for the atrocities committed on It's asian neighbours like Vietnam, mongolia, East Turkestan, Tibet, Manchuria, Korean Peninsula and the Philippines. China pretends to be a victim.
@masleo888 Peoples Republic of ChiNazi. We don't need Japan apology, we want China to apologize. It's better to apologize to Asians, just like Japan did, then Asia will forgive & move on. China should learn from Japan's example. China has not publicly apologized 1 times. China is the country that should apologize the most because it has always been an aggressor and will continue to cause problems around the world.
@masleo888 China has been, and still is, the most cruel and barbaric country, yet it has never apologized or offered compensation..China has not publicly apologized 1 times.
As a Chinese, I appreciate the honest evaluation in this video. I have traveled to around 50 countries, initially with my father and later on my own as a backpacker. The people I met were all incredibly warm and kind. That was over a decade ago when I first went abroad, amazed by the development and excitement of the outside world, and when I returned to China, I felt that it was quite behind. Ten years later, I revisited some of those countries, and when I returned to China again, I was surprised to find that China had become more advanced compared to those countries. This is a fascinating shift in mindset. I used to love Japanese manga in my childhood, but now I read only Chinese comics. I used to play games from the US, Japan, and Taiwan, but now I play Genshin Impact, Arena of Valor, and Wukong. I used to like Korean obba, but now my tooooooop idols are Xiao Zhan😍 (actor) and Wang Shun🤩 (swimmer). My parents used to drive German cars, but now we have two Chinese electric vehicles. I hope people won’t view present-day China through the lens of decades ago. I’ve been to Japan many times, and the ordinary people of Japan are truly kind. When Japanese people come to China, all Chinese people will also show them friendliness.
When Japanese people come to China, all Chinese people will also show them friendliness. There's been recent attempted stabbings of Japanese children in China. And also western tourists in China who were victims of stabbings. The anti Japanese sentiment in China is at an all time high and there has been tons of Chinese influencers causing trouble in Japan.
The biggest problem to Japanese people is they lack of knowledge about WWII history, they don't know how horrible their government and emperor did to Chinese people!!! And they still think Chinese leader is controlling people based on what they saw on the media!
It's concerning to see so many Japanese youth confidently say that the Chinese have no historical reason to hate them, like are Unit 731, indiscriminate bombing of Chongqing and Nanjing Massacre not taught ever at schools?
Not until CCP recognizes it's crimes against it's own citizens and the rest of the world. Covid-19 was a bio weapon unleashed upon the world with 7.1 million deaths. No apology, no compensation from China. CCP should be held accountable for gain of function research and it's subsequent lab leak.
As a latin american i think people of colonialist countries like uk, japan or others european coountires should not feel shame from the wrong thing done in the past by their country but they should learn what really happened and acknowledge it.
The issue is Japan won’t admit they’re wrong and apologize to it lol. Germany has apologized so we joke about it now. But Japan won’t appologize it o any asian country. Which is why China is so pissed 😂😂
@@brodude3709 lol my dude. u dont understand asian history. japan wont appologize to china lol mainly cause of proudness and pride. its ok china will return the favor
@@brodude3709 u askinf for japan to apologize to china is like saying usa should apologize to africa for robbing and boombing them. usa gonna laugh u out the door
Double standards. They will still say they like US while being robbed in big cities like LA and punched in the face. This is the type of ppl we have to listen to.
The old man at the beginning is saying chinese people are controlled by their government, while japan is not even controlled by its government but controlled by Washington 😂
@@HasnaaAlaa It’s typical a brainwashed mind after watching Japan mainstream media all his life. Though you never/hardly see pubic on China mainstream media (TV) criticise the government, you can see it on social media especially articles. What China government requires is criticise responsibly, constructively and with facts. What I learned in terms of freedom in China was in China you have 24x7 hours freedom of safety - you can walk on streets 24 x 7 hours with no fear of being robbed, attacked (and the government is not going to control where you want to go on the streets). This is impossible in the west where you don’t feel safe waking alone on the streets at night.
People who live in dictatorships want to believe that free countries aren't as free as they say, to feel less bad about their own state of oppression. That's why "CIA runs your country" never gets old for you bots.
There was 80 year old Japanese soldier who went to China and apologized for atrocities he commited in war. see CGTN how come Japan news never show that ?
The recent news stated he was a former member of the infamous IJA Unit 731 Water Sanitation and Purification Team. This unit conducted cruel experiments on mainly Chinese and some Western POWs. As well the same unit conducted chemical and biological warfare. All members of Unit 731 who were captured by the US were protected and released in exchange for their knowledge and data. This evil knowledge formed the basis of the US army's infamous Fort Detrick outside of Maryland. Getting back to the Japanese veteran. He kept secret his war time service and basically wanted to clear his conscience before he died. He is over 90 years old. If he was a truly noble or brave man, he should have come clean decades ago. Nevertheless it was a good thing this man came forward to expose the war crimes of Japan (who still have not sincerely apologized ) and to expose the hypocrisy of the Americans.
Japan and Britain share dark chapters in their histories, which some may prefer future generations to forget by omitting them from school curricula. While these events are in the past, it is morally wrong to hide them in the hope that they will be erased from memory. The war crimes, including genocide and the many acts of brutality committed during these times, should be taught as important historical lessons. Bringing these sensitive topics to light is not something to be ashamed of; rather, it is more shameful to conceal the truth. By teaching new generations about these events, we can emphasize that conflicts and differences can be overcome for the greater good. Don't get me wrong about the USA. The USA is just as bad in the way they treated Native Americans and claimed the land as if it were theirs. By the way, it is very interesting to see many interviewers comment on the way Japanese media portrays China. It sounds like the media are extremely biased and only talk and show the bad of China. I'm not saying China is wrong or right. But when the media consistently feeds people bad of other races/countries, it sends the wrong message.
These media's should start informing these japanese about Japan past history war recorded before asking questions about current china. Their reply would be opposite.
You're not really saying anything constructive in the above. Most nations have "dark chapters" in their histories. Did you know the Anglo-Saxons (various different kingdoms armies that is) massacred the Celts/Britons of the time when invading? Why do you not include that in "history that needs to be taught" but allude (presumably) to some form of Colonialism only which I'm sure you're doing? And in fact in the UK the media bombards the younger generation with guilt-tripping of the British Empire and slavery when at the time in history The British were some of the first to choose to remove slavery or equivalent times were far less barbaric than contempories eg the Barbers. Yet you are not an advocate that it's more positive to teach all the inventions and civilization contributions that the British also bequeathed to the world? Why is that exactly? As for Japan, they did also do atrocities and equally had atrocities done to them eg 2 Nuclear bombs. How they handle that history is probably their own business and not your grand opinion to dictate to. Do note since WWII, Japan has become pacifist and did not have a standing army until recently and has been heavily anti-WMD etc. In effect your statement above is "cherry-picking" to absurdity. It's not helpful as it offers no context which demonstrates nuance instead of passive aggressive detracting via the veil of virtue-signalling which is all the rage on social media probably from agent provacateurs on the make!
The UK and Japan are completely different. Britain colonized many countries, enslaved the people, and forced them to learn English. And Destroy Palestine and Hong Kong. Opium Japan did not force the local people to speak Japanese or make them slaves. That is why the people of Palau say that Japan was kinder than Germany. That is why the people of Taiwan say that the Japanese military was kinder than the Chinese Communist Party. Sir Sam Falle "Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Shunsaku Kudo, 422 British soldiers were rescued by the destroyer "Ikazuchi". It was like cruising on a luxury cruise ship. I learned Bushido from him." *After that, Write a book on the subject of "My Lucky Life". There's more. Moreover, Under the command of Major Hajime Takeuchi, 376 British soldiers were rescued by the destroyer “Inazuma”. On top of that, about 40 De Ruyter's crew were rescued by the destroyer “Yukikaze”. ua-cam.com/video/QAevTFqLE0w/v-deo.html

The older gentleman at around 14:20 has a great outlook. Understands the past and believes people should look towards a future of peaceful and beneficial coexistence.
Interesting and unfortunate that Japanese people have to read manga to get a proper lesson on Japan's history. For the sake of international relations and making sure it never happens again, people really should know the atrocities commited by the old government.
Well... manga culture in Japan is more than reading comics for leisure in other countries. You could learn almost everything seriously from history, ww2, World religions or international politics through manga😊
Maybe you don't know but In Poland, Poles teach Japan's national anthem at school. Because they saved the Siberian Poles. There is a Bronze statue of Japanese soldiers (native of Taiwan Island) in Indonesia, and many Japanese soldiers are buried in the graveyard of the hero. They were buried in Indonesia’s national cemetery by the hands of Indonesians. Japanese songs were sung at the parade of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence. There is a Kamikaze Attack Units memorial in the Philippines. In the Philippines to thunderous cheers and chants of "Nippon!, Nippon!". There is a memorial tower at the foothill of Maibam Lokpa Ching / Red Hill near Imphal (Manipur state). An Indian woman in the village of Mapao in the north of Imphal, compose a song in praise of Japanese soldier, and it has been sung for over 60 years. The Japanese flag is drawn on Cambodian banknotes. Palauans "Unlike Germans, the Japanese helped the Palauans." Jeep Island (Micronesia) in the Pacific Ocean is open to guests, but only Japanese people are permitted to visit. Azerbaijan issues free entry visa to only Japanese people.
Absolutely right. I am Singaporean and I have lived in China for some years and I also return to China yearly on short term trips. People in China lack in some social manners such as speak loudly, spitting and jump queue (but they don’t fight. People just get used to it) but these are people mainly from rural areas especially the middle age and elderly. Young people don’t do that (check out UA-cam videos on how the western people describe Chinese children are disciplined, courteous, respectful to teachers unlike in the west where children are wild, naughty, disrespectful to teachers). In these aspects Japan is better than China but in future it will be about the same as younger generations grow older. In terms of hospitality (include being friendly and helpful) and being inclusive to foreigners, China beats Japan by big margin. Chinese is so patient and would help foreigners all the way to solve their problems such as finding the hotel, buying train ticket (this was actually commented by a German vlogger Ken when he first arrived in China and made a comparison between Chinese and Japanese). Chinese also love to invite foreigners for dinner at restaurant or their house. In customer service at hotel/retailers, my feeling is Japanese are better than Chinese (do note competition is very stiff in China and they for sure is improving continuously). For the Chinese who left their parent’s home to work in cities or overseas, they have this mentality that they must return home visit their parents at least once per year. The Japanese don’t think this way. The Chinese have tendency to help each other especially in the community where they live while most of the Japanese keep to themselves. Lastly, the militarism political party of Japan may harbour the idea of invading other countries again (like they did in ww2), China on their hand is a peaceful country which will only counter attack if it’s territories are infringed. Lastly I want to say Japanese (and the western people) more or less (I would say >90%)have been brainwashed by their media which are negative about China.
Chinese people are so warm they spread their love around the world through terrorism organizations and dictatorships. Look how lovely the Chinese-backed Venezuelan dictatorship is, we Venezuelans got to know the real Chiense love!
yes,China has any reasons to hold historical resentment towards Japan , especially if politicians still go to Yasukuni shrine to pay respects to war criminals
Hint: Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the triumphal arch. The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine. Arlington National Cemetery. Regarding Yasukuni, New Zealanders will explain the finer points of that. C2rTvFllnf8
Whatever the reason, holding a grudge or harboring a grudge will have a multiplying effect on yourself. How do you think a weak person who cannot forgive someone far away in a foreign country can protect their loved ones close to them?
The rest of the world have multiple reasons to hold resentment towards China because of things they do TODAY. Like backing a dictatorship in my country Venezuela and financing terrorism all around the world.
German and British government are role model for Japanese government that did the best thing to educate their next generations about the wrong things their ancestors did! On the other hand, the interview proves the information spread in Chinese media/society is correct, that Japanese government didn't recognize the horrible things they did in WWII to China and other Asian countries, as Japanese government didn't teach the history in school for massacre, genocide, etc. they did in WWII invasion in China!!!
Hey wanna know what we Venezuelans think of China? Why don't you ask your government to give back all the stolen gold, leave our country alone and take the dictatorship with you? Wait you can't, because it's illegal for you to criticize your own government. You even need a VPN to read this comment!
The entire western sphere (Japan is actually included) is quite anti-China (borderline sinophobic) to be honest, so I expected those answers alredy. Chinese people only have a grudge about the WW2 things that the government didn't apologize (imagine If Germany didn't apologize for their actions, would the world and their neighbours treat them the same as now). If you actually see japanese vloggers in China they're very welcomed.
There's a Wikipedia page titled "List of war apology statements issued by Japan" that makes for interesting reading. There is also a page titled "Mao Zedong thanking Japan controversy." Of course you can take Wikipedia for what it's worth. At least they cite references.
@@captsorghum It's also crazy that they don't openly announce those things + they don't teach those things throutly so people don't repeat those wrongdoings. "What Mao thinks about the things" doesn't mean that that is the official position of the government, which they make it very clear that they are asking for a proper apology.
@@captsorghum Except China's (non-violent) border disputes (created by western imperialism) is nothing similar to mass genocide. How can your reality be skewed so bad?
apologies mean nothing when respects are still paid to the war criminals in the yasukuni shrine. could you imagine the uproar if in modern day germany they paid their respects to their n*zi war criminals, yet japan gets a pass. so yeah, apologies are just lip service, not genuine.
@@conbrio27 exactly, Japanese media is influenced by Western media and Chinese doesn't even have "media" because all of the information is manipulated by its communist party government

Hundreds of thousands of foreign students are in Chinese universities from all over the world. Tens of millions of foreigners visit China each year (more than Japan). China is not even remotely isolated. As for Chinese people being forced to believe anything, all you have to do is watch some unbiased street interviews of people in China, and you will find their education and awareness of world affairs is far greater and more objective than people in Japan or the US.
Japan can't say sheet about US military bases sexial assault on minors and they think they have a say when talking to ccp. When you whole country is another countries forward military bases what respect do other ppl have for you. You can't even protect your own women for god sake.

As a big fan of the channel, thank you for asking the question at 12:56. The answers were somehow sometimes shocking yet unsurprising at the same time. One older gentleman was fairly reasonable as was one younger guy with his face blurred out. Only the girls really alluded to the true severity of what was done. Several had no idea.
Shocking? You ask people of any country the same types of questions and they will be equally ignorant of their history, this is not unique to Japan despite what many think. And personally, I don't think the people of China have any reason to hold animosities towards Japan to the degree they have been for the past many decades. I'm not justifying Japan's past atrocious actions, and learning the past is important for everyone, but that doesn't excuse pure racial hatred and violence towards Japanese from Chinese citizens. In fact the government of China has done its part to continually preach hatred towards all things Japan, more so in the past few decades than even in the 70's and 80's when the Chinese government embraced Japan and invited several large corporations to set up shop in China. It does get supremely annoying when every ignorant action by Chinese citizens is conveniently explained away with "Japan's past atrocities" excuse, like when one Chinese cosplayer was harassed in China for wearing a kimono. And it's funny that the government of China indoctrinates its citizens on how they should view Japan, yet China is one of the biggest visitor groups to Japan as they value luxury Japanese goods. And let's not compare China's education system as compared to Japan. Despite what many think, it is not universal that all Japanese schools adhere to the same learning materials and methods, thus it is not true that every school does not teach of Japan's wartime misdeeds. Some versions of these textbooks do in fact mention Japan's past wartime actions, though I agree it is not as in depth as it should be.
@@cgeorge3785 I'm Japanese and my grandparents lived in China in the 70's and they said that the Chinese people were not so anti-Japanese back then. My grandmother used to wear a kimono every week to introduce Japanese culture to the Chinese people, and she never had any issues, but in today's China, even wearing a kimono is taboo. It is interesting to note that in the 70's, there were many Chinese who experienced the second Sino-Japanese war, but now the Chinese who did not experience the war seem to be more anti-Japanese. Yasukuni Shrine has been graffitied twice this year by Chinese zoomers, but this has never happened before. I don't deny that Japan has done terrible things in the past, but I feel that the anti-Japanese education and social media in China have increased anti-Japanese sentiment. I saw a video of an old Chinese woman who experienced the Second Sino-Japanese War being interviewed by a Chinese tiktoker about her wartime experiences, and she said that she had never seen or experienced anything terrible done to her by Japanese soldiers during the war, but rather that the KMT and Communist soldiers had oppressed the Chinese people. A bunch of Chinese went crazy slandering her and saying she made it up. I even think that today's Chinese youth resent Japan more than the Chinese who experienced the war.
@@user-vz5gi5tw9x I'm not sure where you heard that kimonos are banned in China. That's completely false, you can wear a kimono in China and most people wouldn't care about it. The only people who may care or who may find it disturbing are people who are middle-aged or older, particularly those born in the 1950's to 1970's. For younger generations born in the 80's, 90's and 00's, a lot of them grown up watching Japanese anime and some have even cosplayed anime characters. My opinion is entirely the opposite of yours, the younger generations in China are more acceptive of new ideas and outside influences, whereas the older ones are more stubborn.
Playing dumb, but it's understandable. In East Asia, pride and face is of the utmost importance. Chinese also deny atrocities committed by their own government!
@@sara.cbc92 I agree with you about the Chinese but I think it’s totally possible that at least some of them genuinely don’t know. I don’t think the Japanese are like the Germans and the Brits who purposefully teach their students about their history of atrocities
In my opinion I think Chinese ppl are more real. Although they may seem rude. As for Japanese they seem too fake. They are usually very polite infront of you but they will talk bad behind.
To be fair, the news and the educational system in China is highly critical of Japan. So there's lots of anti Japanese sentiment in China. I was in China, and I saw it for myself.
You'll become brainwashed if you get too involved with resistance against Japanese aggression comedy drama and such. Even if it is a result of the crazy and distorted education by their CCP, when they come to the historical issue, they become a bunch of "bury one's head in the sand”, "only self-pity”, “no-self recollection”, and “zero objectivity and recognition about true history”. Chinese should realize that their history education is full of lies and craps. It's such a shame that Chinese are not taught these amazing Japan's contribution to the corrupted miserable China.
@@sriganesan8237 The difference is Chinese media has only one version of things, since criticizing the government or the country is against the law. Going against "Chinese's version of history" is algo against the law and will get you jailed or disappeared. While Japanese and the free-world have access to all versions of everything, so can have a better understanding of every conflict. It doesn't matter what you think of Chinese people, you can be sure they don't know the whole true.
As a Chinese guy, I am just so glad to hear that the two cute Japanese girls in the interview would love to date Chinese men🤣that means we still have a chance😃
As a Singaporean, I am surprised to see how badly informed the Japanese were and their media is extremely bias almost to the extend of being propaganda.
Why do you say "as a Singaporean" as if your country hasn't had the same ruling party for over 6 decades? If anything, being a Singaporean makes your opinion less valid with all the censorship and regulations. Just like in China, your people can't even criticize your government so of course everything you read or view is full of lies (if it wasn't, they would not need to censor the true). So you accusing free countries of propaganda while your official state is propaganda is crazy behavior, and shows how brainwashed or ignorant (or both) you are.
As WW2 history buff, I really enjoy watching these interviews. The 2 duo of young ladies, in particular, seem to be naive and honest for their opinion on this pretty tough issue. Various samples of interviewees made this content wholesome to watch😊
It's frightening to see how the Japanese school system has successfully managed to bury Japan's war atrocity history. Most haven't a clue about it other than "we did some bad things back then. But that was then, and now today they love us."
@@bakabon114 It's interesting that you call the 2 girls naive when they actually READ up on the real history, just like how Germans today are expected to understand and be hled accountable for the war crimes of the Nazis (allies of Japan). It's the other older generation who seem to be naive or actively hiding their acknowledgement of Japanese war crimes against humanity including genocide of Chinese people.
17:56 Never say never. People fall in love with people because of their charms not because of where they come from. One day you might fall in love with a handsome, smart gentleman without even realising that he is Chinese or not.
I like most of the questions on this channel as they seem neutral but I do think there was one part where the interviewer inserted his own opinion on how China was "putting on a pretense" by having rich clean areas and less developed areas. I have no idea how you can insert a government's motive into a difference in building standards in rich and poor areas
I agree. I can’t imagine China putting on a facade for foreign consumption, as I heard they do in N. Korea. They have no incentive to do that. However, I believe the story about the new old-fashioned village. That is to modernize in a Disneyesque fashion. Probably their form of gentrification.

The older generations however are more bitter as many had relatives in their living memory that were brutally killed under Imperial Japan.
I am Singaporean and I have lived in China for some years (also visited Japan 7 times) and I also return to China yearly on short term trips. People in China lack in some social manners such as speak loudly, spitting and jump queue (but they don’t fight. People just get used to it) but these are people mainly from rural areas especially the upper and middle age and elderly. Young people don’t do that (check out UA-cam videos on how the western people describe Chinese children are disciplined, courteous, respectful to teachers unlike in the west where children are wild, naughty, disrespectful to teachers). In these aspects Japan is better than China but in future it will be about the same as younger generations grow older. In terms of hospitality (include being friendly and helpful) and being inclusive to foreigners, China beats Japan by big margin. Chinese is so patient and would help foreigners all the way to solve their problems such as finding the hotel, buying train ticket (this was actually commented by a German vlogger Ken when he first arrived in China and made a comparison between Chinese and Japanese). Chinese also love to invite foreigners for dinner at restaurant or their house. In customer service at hotel/retailers, my feeling is Japanese are better than Chinese (do note competition is very stiff in China and they for sure is improving continuously). For the Chinese who left their parent’s home to work in cities or overseas, they have this mentality that they must return home visit their parents at least once per year. The Japanese don’t think this way. The Chinese have tendency to help each other especially in the community where they live while most of the Japanese keep to themselves. Lastly, the militarism political party of Japan may harbour the idea of invading other countries again (like they did in ww2), China on their hand is a peaceful country which will only counter attack if her territories are infringed. Lastly I want to say Japanese (and the western people) more or less (I would say >90%)have been brainwashed by their media which are negative about China; also sometimes I feel some of the Japanese social manners are kind of robotic (like bowing; repeatedly say thank you) with no feelings to it and their people hide their feelings (I would use the word ‘心机‘ to describe Japanese) unlike the Chinese who are genuine and being honest to you about their feelings.
@@林利史 Yes, they are. Sorry to break it to you like that, but we were not the one's who slautered millions of people in WWII, and said "that never happened" 🤷
Why do you say "as a Singaporean" as if your country hasn't had the same ruling party for over 6 decades? If anything, being a Singaporean makes your opinion less valid with all the censorship and regulations. Just like in China, your people can't even criticize your government so of course everything you read or view is full of lies (if it wasn't, they would not need to censor the true). So you accusing free countries of propaganda while your official state is propaganda is crazy behavior, and shows how brainwashed or ignorant (or both) you are.
very cool interviews. tough questions. despite all the history. I love the people of Japan, China, Taiwan, UK, etc. it's in the past. some of them said we need to focus on today and going forward. I don't want the past to be forgotten, lest we repeat the same mistakes as a world society. But I don't hold grudges against the people. The Taiwanese woman is wise. I love her answers and point of view. The people should not suffer for the mistakes of the government, but they tend to. I hope going forward the new world continues to be about shared cultures and closing the gaps that ignorance creates.
We need to focus on how China keeps expanding today. If anyone is repeating past mistakes is China with a much bigger and cruel dictatorship than the one Japan or any other country ever had. They hide behind the BRICS while financing and backing terrorism and dictatorships around the world like in my country Venezuela.
China is one of the oldest civilizations and continues to thrive due to ability to keep written record of every event. So don’t expect China to forget opium war and Japan occupation in China. Many SEA countries still remember the scars.
for those Japanese out there who didn't know about its past or pretend not to know : The estimated number of people killed by Japanese troops varies. R. J. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, estimates that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly three to over ten million people, most likely six million Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Malays, Indonesians, Filipinos and Indochinese, among others, including European, American and Australian prisoners of war. According to Rummel, "This democide [i.e., death by government] was due to a morally bankrupt political and military strategy, military expediency and custom, and national culture."[82] According to Rummel, in China alone, from 1937 to 1945, approximately 3.9 million Chinese were killed, mostly civilians, as a direct result of the Japanese operations and a total of 10.2 million Chinese were killed in the course of the war.[83] According to the British historian M. R. D. Foot, civilian deaths were between 10 million and 20 million.[84] British historian Mark Felton claims that up to 30 million people were killed, most of them civilians.:[
All kinds of ppl everywhere in the wrold. No need to condemned particular ones. Some are just uncultured, sadistic, rude, uncivilized, ill mannered, selfish, self-centered, annoying, pervert etc....we should just focus and make friends with those good ones regardless of their race or nationality
lots of japanese still have a colonial mind just like french politician. japan should put the real history in their education curriculum not hiding the reality from their people on what atrocious past they had. so sad.
I visit Japan quite often (every year for the past three years and every few years before that) and the last time the Japanese behavior against tourists especially Asians who they all assume are from Mainland China, was baaad. Doesn't matter if you were born in the West or Hong Kong or Taiwan or Singapore or Malaysia or Vietnam or Thai. The Japanese were loudly and angrily criticizing and/or laughing at them like bullies. Compared to other years, the only major difference I can think of is the worsening economy is stressing Japanese, more tourists come because of the weak yen is stressing Japanese, along with all their other social problems, and they (all ages) vent their anger onto tourists, if not Chinese then Asian then anyone else. They say it's because manners but every country is going to have different manners compared to Japan and most do behave well. The nail that sticks out gets hammered in Japan and this has never been more true. Personally I wouldn't visit the major tourist areas in Japan until the yen improves or if before that then the less-traveled areas.
It's probably because most Chinese tourist (and Western tourist) are loud and obnoxious... I was in Kyoto in February and it was just hordes of Chinese, American and European tourist pushing their way through the lines and on their phones to get the best pic for instagram. I am an American who frequently visits Japan and is deeply embarrassed by this behavior. Unfortunately I think you are correct. The trash of the world can now afford to vacation in Japan and it is running it for everyone else.
Lmao, chinese bots gaslightning in the comment is truly a sight to behold. Turism in Japan was almost 10 times bigger than the previous year, after the BIG regulations with C-19 which is still a problem today. And they just had record numbers (+17 million) despite being a very expensive country, so tourism is expected to be even better this 2024. People love to travel to Japan and 99% have only good things to say about how respectful Japanese people are. China on the other hand is backing dictatorship all around the world that are making people flee their country. Like China-backed Nicolas Maduro who made +8 million of Venezuela flee their own land in the worst possible conditions.
I like Chinese people and Chinese tech. I have some criticism of their top-down style of government. Based on what I've heard politicians are accountable to other politicians above them rathen than to the people they're governing. So it incentives local government to cover up issues from the central government. For example you could have a famine in one region being covered up while another has a surplus of food but if governors are too scared to ask for help for fear of getting in trouble for let things get to that point then nothing gets solved. Sadly it's very difficult to criticize this sort of thing. I have no hate but you can't fix problems of you don't talk about them.
1. You CAN critize political directions and decisions, just don't go around pointing fingers at politicians if you don't really have evidences of the suposed wrong doings, that would simply go down as defamation. You live in a province and you make a report to Beijing about your disconform about the directions that your provincial government is taking. There's also A LOT of protests to be honest, but the western media doesn't show them because It actually goes agaisnt your impression about the freedom of speech in China. 2. They take results very serious, and having obvious cases of corruption could end you up with DEATH PENALTY; most of them end up with a huge fine + many years in the cell tho, but the central government in Beijing don't shy away about who they need to punish, be a military general or a famous millionaire. 3. The internet and the number of internet users in China goes around 1Billion. There's so many way to find out nowadays that your government is doing some shady things than before.
@@yiluis1316 yeah right with the chinse fire wall and internet it isn't as easy. I mean during c*vid they literally were locking people inside their apartments with locks from the outside. Videos were literally of people screaming from their buildings and couldnt get out with no food for weeks etc. China has a long history of cover ups and corruption in its communist era. Long list of recorded events, yeah corrupt policiains can get it but above all your citizens can too which are the main target. You guys literally have social credit scores imagine you say something on the internet without a VPN or post video you shouldnt without VPN at the very least your score tanks. At the very worst you disappear.
if what you said is true, China would have collapsed and the 100 million chinese that leave china on holiday would take the chance to seek refugee status. yet this is not the case. stop reading what propagandist say and use your brain and observe how the chinese are living. they are not the USSR. in fact they are more in tune to public opinion than US government is. when is the last time hillary clinton even listen to what people say? she aided egyptian military in seizing power, did american want that? even obama didn't want that. that why obama had to sack her from state department. so what is scary isn't even top down government, what is scary is government official that don't even listen to their own president!
@@bakabon114 Sad that “big brother” has to use war to force people who don’t want anything to do with them to stay together. “Big brother” is like a man whose wife and kids desperately want to get away from him but he threatens to kill them if they leave. Chinese people should be embarrassed and ashamed
Chinese people are Tsundere about Japan. On the news they say one thing but as soon as they go home, they visit or immigrate to their favorite vacation country Japan or the United States.
U think those are the same people ... or rather than looking as in group, why dont u start looking people as individual . Not every chinese shared the same mindset same go for any other country .
That's interesting. Although, I'd think that they'd just see them as just fellow Asians (and the only differences are that they live in the west and are influenced by Western culture). So really more of a neutral opinion/view on them in general.
@@ec0928 Good point. I'm sure most Japanese are able to tell Asian westerners apart from the way they dress, look, act, and talk (in western languages), right? Unless they're influenced by Asian pop cultures, making it harder to differentiate.
Not only Japanese media, all western media are very hostile against China for geopolitical reasons to protect themselves. And we're all victims of them living in the west. No country is perfect, I ran into very rude people here as well in the west daily. It dose not make sense to judge other culture with your own, but I believe more and more Chinese will adopt to deal with different people differently and improve their "manner". And if you work with different classes of people, the experience would be different. Surprised to see Japanese schools system covered WII tightly, one could repeat a mistake over and over if he has no way to realize that's a mistake. If the war crimes by Japanese in WII were covered so deliberately, how could they understand why they were hit by A-bomb twice to stop the war?
He have views but it is not neccessary other peoples in China must have his view. China can do what they wants. Japan for instant is stuck in the past and do noy know how to innovate. Japan GDP per pax is even lower than Taiwan now. All their car industry will be destroy if they do not innovate.
I've had friends from all over. Yes Japanese will go with the group more and Chinese more individualistic like the West but ultimately people all have selfish and nice and sweet parts. It's down to the individual and their willingness to have a good relationship
From my experience going to East Asia I find Chinese people more nicer to a deeper extent than most Japanese people. Japanese people will act polite but they will not got toward a long way in helping you out especially if you are a foreigner.
I liked a lot of the things that the guy at 14:15 said, but one thing that I think is weird is that when the Japanese government makes some kind of mistake, they will sometimes go on television, very publicly and directly admit their wrongdoing, ask the Japanese people for forgiveness, and humbly bow. I have really deeply respected that. But considering the millions of Chinese citizens the Japanese raped, murdered, and performed human experiments on exactly like the Nazis did, does this guy really believe that the Japanese government has done enough to allow the Chinese people to just forget about what Japan did to them and to move on? Is that realistic?
And even though I do think he was reasonable and he made some good points, he still said things like, “for various reasons some people became victims.” The reasons were that his government sent a bunch of soldiers to China and they raped and murdered millions and millions of people and performed cruel human experiments on many others. That’s the reason. It wasn’t just Japan peacefully colonized other lands. They raped, murdered, and tortured. And there’s no good reason to do that. And I think that until particularly their government is willing to be honest about what they did and humbly ask for forgiveness, of course there likely will not be good feelings and truly peaceful relations between the two countries. And I think that’s a shame. Because these videos have actually done a lot to give me a much more positive view of Japanese people. I have enjoyed them. But human beings, for better or worse, can not build healthy relationships until past crimes have truly been acknowledged and sincerely apologized for. If somebody raped, murdered, and tortured your family, would you think it would be normal to have a friendly relationship with the killer if you didn’t really feel like they were genuinely sorry for what they had done? I really don’t think so.
@@Haoハオ I think both parties in the United States suffer from the same problem, but the Republican Party is probably worse. I am a U.S. citizen. And I am disgusted at what my country has done, and continues to do, to other countries. I don’t get the impression most Americans or most Japanese feel the same way about their government’s actions in other countries. And that’s a huge problem.
Politicians apologise and bow in front of the public doesn’t necessarily mean they feel sorry, often just because they don’t want to lose support. Japan relies on America, they don’t need to gain support from China. And America doesn’t want to see China making friend with their allies. Therefore as long as Japan is America’s ally, apologies won’t happen.
I'm Chinese and I have mixed feelings about Japan. On the one hand this country has a lot of positive sides such as cars, techs, animes, etc. But on the other hand I don't like the way how this country deals with its past. And also I feel that Japanese don't really understand Chinese culture and history, like for instance they really like the Three Kingdoms or Sangoku for some reason, but in reality this period in Chinese history was a period of chaos and destruction and there's nothing to brag about it. And moreover please stop making random claims like Yayoi originated from the Yangtse region, according to recent genetic tests (Cooke et al. 2021) the Yayoi were a mixture of native Jomon with incoming Tungus people from the Amur or the West Liao River region of Manchuria and had nothing to do with Central or South China. The southern parts of China were the homeland of Austro-Tai peoples and had nothing to do with Japonic.
And regarding the fact that someone mentioned Chinese people never line up in a queue while waiting for the bus, I admit this is largely true, however for the younger generations things are changing and more and more are starting to line up when waiting for buses or subways. And I think it also depends on the region and the time of the day, if you're in a big Chinese metropolis in the morning rush hour, then it's understandable that some people are in a hurry and don't want to line up so as to not miss the train or bus. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but it's understandable.
Does it really matter when the country of China threatens Japan every day by conducting drills and sending missiles into it's EEZ. By China invading Taiwan, it must strike Japanese and US bases in Japan and that would also kill innocent Japanese people themselves. China would also kill Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Australian and Filipino people if Japan's military wasn't so strong. It sounds very hypocritical especially when Japan is by leaps and bounds the country that post WW2 has done the most without any question to help Asia be more prosperous and safe and China itself has turned into Imperial Japan itself in XI Jinping's ambitions. Also, how many Chinese know of what China did to Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan. Uighurs, Afghanistan and how it helps kill Ukranians and lets North Korea exist?? Politics doesn't matter to a regular person who just lives his regular day to day life and as people who haven't done anything wrong they don't need to know EVERYTHING. History is a terrible thing for Chinese people to mention to a Japanese person when China threatens to kill Taiwanese and Japanese people everyday and would do both in a heartbeat if it was strong enough.
I will tell you the truth. I'm an expert on Japan and China. If you are kind to Japanese, I can guarantee 90% of them will be kind in return. They can even be your best friend. This is not something applicable to other countries eg S.Korea where blood means everything. The CCP have also hidden and censored mass atrocities of it's own citizens from themselves. And these happened even more recently than Japan's past aggressions.
So, are the Japanese not taught about the war crimes they committed against the Chinese during World War II? That's wild - like for us in the U.S.perhaps that might challenge the imperial mindset.
Pretty much near-none. Most Japanese would position Japan as the victims of war. They look at China as sore losers who didn't westernize and militarize fast/early enough and are only good at complaining and leeching off of Japan's modern day generosity. And they were not properly educated on their war crimes, if at all. The justification being that every side in the war has had committed war crime to some degree, and that China's numbers of Japan are exaggerated and fake, "fake and ghey". In China you can find several WWII museums and memorials. One of the most notorious being the Unit 731 museum in Harbin. But at the end of the day, they still liked Chinese more than Korean, but that was up until the Covid era. China is vastly behind South Korea in soft power. Japanese youth are now just beginning to become infested by hallyu.
The Japanese are well taught Oxford University has been awarded the 2019 World Cup in the United States, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan. I was researching history textbooks from various countries, I think it was around 2013 or something like that. As a result, Chinese history textbooks are propaganda. Korean history textbooks are fantasy Taiwan's history textbooks are generally written objectively and fairly. And... the results showed that Japanese history textbooks were the ones that contained the most objective facts. Ironically, it is common in the world for people to express their opinions without hesitation if they have something they want to say, but in Japan, perhaps because we are an island nation, we have a culture that values refraining from expressing ourselves, so we often do not respond to many of the opinions of neighboring countries.
@@dradrapaty Well TAUGHT??? HAHAHAHHAHA what a funny bot you are. Well taught means that their students get to know their own country's history. And the Japanese people don't. I wonder why? Is it not wriiten in their textbooks? Hmm... Interesting...
I gave up my seat for an old Japanese woman on the Tokyo metro when I saw no Japanese riders even looked up to see the elderly woman standing...don't overly state your culture!
5:15 This woman understands the Big Picture, which none of the others do. Judging China by the way someone behaves at a restaurant, or by one Chinese friend, or how people board a bus ... just wait until China's military shows up at your shorelines, folks, because China (and even South Korea) hasn't forgotten about Japan's war atrocities to this day. Japan has greatly benefited from the USA's presence after the war's end. Japan is a (mostly) free country thanks to that. Imagine today's Japan had they chosen in August 1945 to surrender to Stalin's Soviet Union instead, as was being considered at the time!
Cor, Your Japanese is good … I’m still struggling with less than basic words & I visit Japan in October!! Hoping to wing it & backpack it. Maybe meet up & you can teach me some Cultural differences. 🇬🇧 Robert
News media plays a great role in projecting the images of a country. The ordinary people often doesn't do fact checks on the news and take it as is. On the other hand, Chinese people generally have a negative impression of Japan due to the atrocities Japan committed in WWII to China and her Asian neighbours. Japan never acknowledged there were comfort women, forced labour, Nanjing Massacre. Above all, Japan never apologized for her war crimes and paid compensation for the victims. In contrast, Germany apologized for her war crimes in WWII and paid compensation to the victims.
What you say is wrong. Japan was tried in the Far East Military Tribunal by the Allied Powers (US, UK, Netherlands, Republic of China; Chiang Kai-shek). The issue of World War II has been resolved by apologizing to the countries involved and paying reparations. Communist China was a country that was created after World War II.Therefore, Communist China and Japan did not go to war, but Japan and Communist China concluded a peace treaty, and Japan apologized and provided ODA, which is equivalent to reparations. Japan provided aid to communist China, which was essentially reparations. Japan did not go to war with communist China, but it did provide reparations and an apology.
@@森田和義-k6u Don't twist the history. Japan invaded China since the War of 1894. It doesn't care about which form of government under which Japan committed her war crimes. Give me some facts about the reparations. How much and in what ways. There are protests recently in South Korea about comfort women, and the Japanese gov't turned a deaf ear to the issues. I think Japan just wants all these people to die out eventually and claim all these did not happen. They are only fictions.
@@森田和義-k6u I am from Hong Kong. Hong Kong suffered 3 years and 8 months at the hands of the Japanese invaders. My older generation told me they suffered greatly through starvation, forced labour, fear of executions. Please don't glorify or cover-up the past "dirty" history; accept and make apology for the atrocities committed, though they happened decades ago, and have nothing to do with you personally.
@@eagleswatch6905 Yes, I understand. Unfortunately, Japan was at war with Britain and the United States and had to attack Hong Kong, where the British army was holed up. It is unfortunate that the Japanese military police brutally assaulted the people of Hong Kong. However, in post-war trials, Japanese military personnel were tried as war criminals. We must admit that the Japanese military caused great suffering to the people of Hong Kong. What I want to say is that war brings such tragedies, and aren't the countries that criticize Japan currently fighting wars and invading other countries? Specifically, the so-called permanent members of the United Nations, the United States, Russia, China, and the United Kingdom, are divided into liberal and communist groups and have continued proxy wars in various places to this day. This is a serious problem. I don't think it's an issue that can be solved by using Japan, which hasn't been at war for 80 years, as a scapegoat.
@@森田和義-k6u The war criminals deserved their destiny and infamous in history. Let's face it. A country cannot go to a full-scale war without the support of her countrymen. Are you telling me the Japanese were forced to war by the politicians to commit all these heinous acts?
She believes Americas success comes from the ideals that we have unalienable rights that have to be respected. She wishes the mentioned country had more rights for their people.
i love Japan, is my fav country, but it's important to remember the atrocities committed in China during the war. While Japan has changed significantly and the current generation isn't responsible for the past, it's worth noting that the emperor who led during those times was pardoned and remained in power, with the current emperor being from the same lineage. From a Chinese perspective, watching this video can be frustrating to say the least. the best approach is to move forward and avoid stirring up old wounds with questions that don't contribute positively to relations between the two nations. you got my first downvote. regarding Chinese tourist, yes, this is another issue, they cam be disrespectful, not only in Japan, in many other places, this is something that is on their side and they need to fix.
US had a huge part in the cover up by giving immunity to Japan's royal family and A class war criminals in exchange for bio warfare data. Many prominent war criminals went on to become key figures in Japanese politics, pharmaceutical companies etc. This indoctrination where Japan is seen as a victim and not invader is further entrenched in public education. Anyways, it's in the past. Did Mongols, Manchus, Europeans apologize for invading and murdering millions of Chinese? How about CCP which killed 40 million of it's own people during the course of it's reign?
@@sara.cbc92 Why do you keep believing in this "Devil's Proof" that doesn't exist.

It's cool because Chinese people don't accept what they are doing in the PRESENT, like supporting multiple terrorist organization and dictatorships around the world.
I would be curious what they have to say about the Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731. My impression is that Japanese people have extremely limited knowledge on these atrocities.
I think the effects of Japan's invasion which led to Communists taking power and enacting things that destroyed a significant amount of Chinese culture and society like the Great Leap Forward isn't talked about at all in Japan for political purposes
Most of them know these incidents, but they would refrain from talking on these hard issue for street interview though and this channel is not going too far for complex historical topics.
>Nanjing Massacre
Most non-Japanese also have a shallow knowledge of Nanking, like "Yeah I know the Japanese army mercilessly killed over 300,000 people in Nanking", which they got from social media. There is no primary source for the 300,000 deaths in the first place, and this claim is based on a novel written by Iris Chan. Nanking massacre was nothing more than warfare where the Japanese army slaughtered the KMT army including guerrillas, with acceptable civilian casualties. Kuomintang soldiers took off their military uniforms and pretended to be civilians to carry out terrorist attacks against Japanese troops in Nanjing and other parts of China. It was forbidden by international law at the time for military personnel to remove their uniforms and engage in guerrilla activities. This is similar situation of afghan war. In Afghanistan, Taliban soldiers frequently pretend to be civilians and carry out terrorist attacks against U.S. soldiers, and U.S. soldiers execute Taliban soldiers without mercy. A lot of r*pe and massacre was done even by Chinese soldiers bythemself before japanese entered Nanking and this was officially recorded by western survey of at that age and they were replaceing it to japan. Mr. Espy, the U.S. Deputy Consulate General of Nanjing, said in a document submitted to the Tokyo Tribunal: "One thing to note here is that the Chinese soldiers themselves plundered before entering the Japanese army. During the last few days, Chinese soldiers were undoubtedly assaulting and looting people and property. In the rush of Chinese soldiers to take off their military uniforms and change into ordinary civilian clothes, various incidents occurred, and some of them were killed to peel off their clothes ." (AI = p. 290-1). And the famous photo of a Japanese soldier bayoneting a child has been identified as being taken from a scene in the movie "Hong kong 1941" If you are curious, buy DVD and find out for yourself. Besides this, many of the photos purported to be evidence of the Nanking Massacre have already been debunked, and most of them have nothing to do with Nanking. And people always mention John Rabe when they talk about Nanking but all he did was report the 20,000 women graped rumor he had heard from WASP missionaries in the area. He would later account in his own biography before his death that he saw no more than two instances of the crime I mentioned. Again, 20,000 is a made up figure. His testimony was full of inconsistencies and unreliable that not a single one of his statements was even used in the postwar trials. Also, people think that the Japanese government denies the existence of the Nanking Massacre, but in fact it is not true. The current position of the Japanese government is that a battle with the Kuomintang took place in Nanking, and that an unspecified number of people were killed in the process. And that the figure of 300,000 victims should be debated. As I mentioned earlier, the only evidence for the 300,000 casualties is Iris Chan's novel, but thanks to CCP, this has been taken as historical fact all over the world and people like me are treated as revisionists just because we disagree with this. As for Nanjing, we can't have a constructive discussion at all.
@@bakabon114 Nah, most younger Japanese and even some middle aged do not know what they are. I saw a video a while back asking if Japanese recogonized the "Nazi" flag.

I have a true story I personally am an Indonesian who is ethnically Chinese. Before 1945, precisely in Borneo, Kalimantan, Indonesia was colonized by Japan and the Japanese army prioritized killing ethnic Chinese who had a lot of wealth. My grandfather's father was also a victim because Japan was afraid that our ethnic Chinese would send money to the Chinese government. but times have changed china has become a world giant that dares to challenge america i want to ask you which asian country dares to challenge the united states????? only china it's up to you japanese if you say i was brainwashed by the pkc but what is clear is history records even in indonesia that japan colonized indonesia cruelly i personally really hate japan and i think this hatred could trigger a war in the future currently japan is in a birth crisis and Japan often experiences natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis and I see that Okinawa seems to be controlled by America. This news is clearly covered up by the BBC and their gang.

Before and during WW2, Japan was the only Asian country dare to challenge the West (British, Australian, French, Dutch and American colonialists in Asia). Japan liberated and decolonized parts of Asia, including Indonesia from Dutch aggressors. Indonesia would never achieve independence without the support from Japan to Sukarno's movement back then.😃
Japan must apologize to countries in the Asian region, especially China, Indonesia, Malaysia,
China “Japan must apologize to countries in the Asian region, especially China, Indonesia, Malaysia,”
World “If China would just apologize for what happened in 20th and 21th centuries maybe the other Asians, Westerner and Latino would stop hating them.”
totally agreed and especially to the Koreans too,! these short crooked leg, ugly teeth monsters need to afce reality and apologize to the millions of people they have slaughtered during the World War Two before they cant go and face the world with honesty and integrity, when people say Japanese are nice they must been brain washed by their lies!
China has still not apologised for the atrocities committed on It's asian neighbours like Vietnam, mongolia, East Turkestan, Tibet, Manchuria, Korean Peninsula and the Philippines. China pretends to be a victim.

We don't need Japan apology, we want China to apologize. It's better to apologize to Asians, just like Japan did, then Asia will forgive & move on. China should learn from Japan's example. China has not publicly apologized 1 times. China is the country that should apologize the most because it has always been an aggressor and will continue to cause problems around the world.
@masleo888 China has been, and still is, the most cruel and barbaric country, yet it has never apologized or offered compensation..China has not publicly apologized 1 times.

As a Chinese, I appreciate the honest evaluation in this video. I have traveled to around 50 countries, initially with my father and later on my own as a backpacker. The people I met were all incredibly warm and kind. That was over a decade ago when I first went abroad, amazed by the development and excitement of the outside world, and when I returned to China, I felt that it was quite behind. Ten years later, I revisited some of those countries, and when I returned to China again, I was surprised to find that China had become more advanced compared to those countries. This is a fascinating shift in mindset.
I used to love Japanese manga in my childhood, but now I read only Chinese comics. I used to play games from the US, Japan, and Taiwan, but now I play Genshin Impact, Arena of Valor, and Wukong. I used to like Korean obba, but now my tooooooop idols are Xiao Zhan😍 (actor) and Wang Shun🤩 (swimmer). My parents used to drive German cars, but now we have two Chinese electric vehicles.
I hope people won’t view present-day China through the lens of decades ago. I’ve been to Japan many times, and the ordinary people of Japan are truly kind. When Japanese people come to China, all Chinese people will also show them friendliness.

There's been recent attempted stabbings of Japanese children in China. And also western tourists in China who were victims of stabbings. The anti Japanese sentiment in China is at an all time high and there has been tons of Chinese influencers causing trouble in Japan.
The biggest problem to Japanese people is they lack of knowledge about WWII history, they don't know how horrible their government and emperor did to Chinese people!!! And they still think Chinese leader is controlling people based on what they saw on the media!
Seems like the Japanese hold double standards. They judge the Chinese in terms of manners but they don't do that for Westerners.

@@HasnaaAlaa It’s typical a brainwashed mind after watching Japan mainstream media all his life. Though you never/hardly see pubic on China mainstream media (TV) criticise the government, you can see it on social media especially articles. What China government requires is criticise responsibly, constructively and with facts. What I learned in terms of freedom in China was in China you have 24x7 hours freedom of safety - you can walk on streets 24 x 7 hours with no fear of being robbed, attacked (and the government is not going to control where you want to go on the streets). This is impossible in the west where you don’t feel safe waking alone on the streets at night.
People who live in dictatorships want to believe that free countries aren't as free as they say, to feel less bad about their own state of oppression. That's why "CIA runs your country" never gets old for you bots.
There was 80 year old Japanese soldier who went to China and apologized for atrocities he commited in war. see CGTN how come Japan news never show that ?
He's over 80. where are you getting your news.
Chinese propaganda
The recent news stated he was a former member of the infamous IJA Unit 731 Water Sanitation and Purification Team. This unit conducted cruel experiments on mainly Chinese and some Western POWs. As well the same unit conducted chemical and biological warfare. All members of Unit 731 who were captured by the US were protected and released in exchange for their knowledge and data. This evil knowledge formed the basis of the US army's infamous Fort Detrick outside of Maryland.
Getting back to the Japanese veteran. He kept secret his war time service and basically wanted to clear his conscience before he died. He is over 90 years old. If he was a truly noble or brave man, he should have come clean decades ago. Nevertheless it was a good thing this man came forward to expose the war crimes of Japan (who still have not sincerely apologized ) and to expose the hypocrisy of the Americans.

Japan and Britain share dark chapters in their histories, which some may prefer future generations to forget by omitting them from school curricula. While these events are in the past, it is morally wrong to hide them in the hope that they will be erased from memory. The war crimes, including genocide and the many acts of brutality committed during these times, should be taught as important historical lessons. Bringing these sensitive topics to light is not something to be ashamed of; rather, it is more shameful to conceal the truth. By teaching new generations about these events, we can emphasize that conflicts and differences can be overcome for the greater good. Don't get me wrong about the USA. The USA is just as bad in the way they treated Native Americans and claimed the land as if it were theirs.
By the way, it is very interesting to see many interviewers comment on the way Japanese media portrays China. It sounds like the media are extremely biased and only talk and show the bad of China. I'm not saying China is wrong or right. But when the media consistently feeds people bad of other races/countries, it sends the wrong message.
These media's should start informing these japanese about Japan past history war recorded before asking questions about current china. Their reply would be opposite.
You're not really saying anything constructive in the above. Most nations have "dark chapters" in their histories. Did you know the Anglo-Saxons (various different kingdoms armies that is) massacred the Celts/Britons of the time when invading? Why do you not include that in "history that needs to be taught" but allude (presumably) to some form of Colonialism only which I'm sure you're doing?
And in fact in the UK the media bombards the younger generation with guilt-tripping of the British Empire and slavery when at the time in history The British were some of the first to choose to remove slavery or equivalent times were far less barbaric than contempories eg the Barbers. Yet you are not an advocate that it's more positive to teach all the inventions and civilization contributions that the British also bequeathed to the world? Why is that exactly?
As for Japan, they did also do atrocities and equally had atrocities done to them eg 2 Nuclear bombs. How they handle that history is probably their own business and not your grand opinion to dictate to. Do note since WWII, Japan has become pacifist and did not have a standing army until recently and has been heavily anti-WMD etc.
In effect your statement above is "cherry-picking" to absurdity. It's not helpful as it offers no context which demonstrates nuance instead of passive aggressive detracting via the veil of virtue-signalling which is all the rage on social media probably from agent provacateurs on the make!
The UK and Japan are completely different.
Britain colonized many countries, enslaved the people, and forced them to learn English. And Destroy Palestine and Hong Kong. Opium
Japan did not force the local people to speak Japanese or make them slaves. That is why the people of Palau say that Japan was kinder than Germany. That is why the people of Taiwan say that the Japanese military was kinder than the Chinese Communist Party.

Maybe you don't know but In Poland, Poles teach Japan's national anthem at school. Because they saved the Siberian Poles. There is a Bronze statue of Japanese soldiers (native of Taiwan Island) in Indonesia, and many Japanese soldiers are buried in the graveyard of the hero. They were buried in Indonesia’s national cemetery by the hands of Indonesians. Japanese songs were sung at the parade of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence. There is a Kamikaze Attack Units memorial in the Philippines. In the Philippines to thunderous cheers and chants of "Nippon!, Nippon!". There is a memorial tower at the foothill of Maibam Lokpa Ching / Red Hill near Imphal (Manipur state). An Indian woman in the village of Mapao in the north of Imphal, compose a song in praise of Japanese soldier, and it has been sung for over 60 years. The Japanese flag is drawn on Cambodian banknotes. Palauans "Unlike Germans, the Japanese helped the Palauans." Jeep Island (Micronesia) in the Pacific Ocean is open to guests, but only Japanese people are permitted to visit. Azerbaijan issues free entry visa to only Japanese people.
The feeling is mutual. Japanese appears to be polite and Chinese appears rude but deep down it’s the reverse. Don’t let the appearance deceive you.
Ur so right.. I was shocked when I was in Japan thinking they are “nice”
Absolutely right. I am Singaporean and I have lived in China for some years and I also return to China yearly on short term trips. People in China lack in some social manners such as speak loudly, spitting and jump queue (but they don’t fight. People just get used to it) but these are people mainly from rural areas especially the middle age and elderly. Young people don’t do that (check out UA-cam videos on how the western people describe Chinese children are disciplined, courteous, respectful to teachers unlike in the west where children are wild, naughty, disrespectful to teachers). In these aspects Japan is better than China but in future it will be about the same as younger generations grow older. In terms of hospitality (include being friendly and helpful) and being inclusive to foreigners, China beats Japan by big margin. Chinese is so patient and would help foreigners all the way to solve their problems such as finding the hotel, buying train ticket (this was actually commented by a German vlogger Ken when he first arrived in China and made a comparison between Chinese and Japanese). Chinese also love to invite foreigners for dinner at restaurant or their house. In customer service at hotel/retailers, my feeling is Japanese are better than Chinese (do note competition is very stiff in China and they for sure is improving continuously). For the Chinese who left their parent’s home to work in cities or overseas, they have this mentality that they must return home visit their parents at least once per year. The Japanese don’t think this way. The Chinese have tendency to help each other especially in the community where they live while most of the Japanese keep to themselves. Lastly, the militarism political party of Japan may harbour the idea of invading other countries again (like they did in ww2), China on their hand is a peaceful country which will only counter attack if it’s territories are infringed. Lastly I want to say Japanese (and the western people) more or less (I would say >90%)have been brainwashed by their media which are negative about China.
Spot on !!!
True I get a cold vibe from Japanese people even though they are polite while Chinese may be less polite, they give friendly vibes

As a Chinese in China, I find this video very interesting. There are diversified opinions and for good reasons.
German and British government are role model for Japanese government that did the best thing to educate their next generations about the wrong things their ancestors did! On the other hand, the interview proves the information spread in Chinese media/society is correct, that Japanese government didn't recognize the horrible things they did in WWII to China and other Asian countries, as Japanese government didn't teach the history in school for massacre, genocide, etc. they did in WWII invasion in China!!!
Hey wanna know what we Venezuelans think of China? Why don't you ask your government to give back all the stolen gold, leave our country alone and take the dictatorship with you? Wait you can't, because it's illegal for you to criticize your own government. You even need a VPN to read this comment!
The entire western sphere (Japan is actually included) is quite anti-China (borderline sinophobic) to be honest, so I expected those answers alredy.
Chinese people only have a grudge about the WW2 things that the government didn't apologize (imagine If Germany didn't apologize for their actions, would the world and their neighbours treat them the same as now). If you actually see japanese vloggers in China they're very welcomed.

As a big fan of the channel, thank you for asking the question at 12:56. The answers were somehow sometimes shocking yet unsurprising at the same time. One older gentleman was fairly reasonable as was one younger guy with his face blurred out. Only the girls really alluded to the true severity of what was done. Several had no idea.
Shocking? You ask people of any country the same types of questions and they will be equally ignorant of their history, this is not unique to Japan despite what many think. And personally, I don't think the people of China have any reason to hold animosities towards Japan to the degree they have been for the past many decades. I'm not justifying Japan's past atrocious actions, and learning the past is important for everyone, but that doesn't excuse pure racial hatred and violence towards Japanese from Chinese citizens. In fact the government of China has done its part to continually preach hatred towards all things Japan, more so in the past few decades than even in the 70's and 80's when the Chinese government embraced Japan and invited several large corporations to set up shop in China. It does get supremely annoying when every ignorant action by Chinese citizens is conveniently explained away with "Japan's past atrocities" excuse, like when one Chinese cosplayer was harassed in China for wearing a kimono.
And it's funny that the government of China indoctrinates its citizens on how they should view Japan, yet China is one of the biggest visitor groups to Japan as they value luxury Japanese goods. And let's not compare China's education system as compared to Japan. Despite what many think, it is not universal that all Japanese schools adhere to the same learning materials and methods, thus it is not true that every school does not teach of Japan's wartime misdeeds. Some versions of these textbooks do in fact mention Japan's past wartime actions, though I agree it is not as in depth as it should be.

I'm Japanese and my grandparents lived in China in the 70's and they said that the Chinese people were not so anti-Japanese back then. My grandmother used to wear a kimono every week to introduce Japanese culture to the Chinese people, and she never had any issues, but in today's China, even wearing a kimono is taboo. It is interesting to note that in the 70's, there were many Chinese who experienced the second Sino-Japanese war, but now the Chinese who did not experience the war seem to be more anti-Japanese. Yasukuni Shrine has been graffitied twice this year by Chinese zoomers, but this has never happened before. I don't deny that Japan has done terrible things in the past, but I feel that the anti-Japanese education and social media in China have increased anti-Japanese sentiment. I saw a video of an old Chinese woman who experienced the Second Sino-Japanese War being interviewed by a Chinese tiktoker about her wartime experiences, and she said that she had never seen or experienced anything terrible done to her by Japanese soldiers during the war, but rather that the KMT and Communist soldiers had oppressed the Chinese people. A bunch of Chinese went crazy slandering her and saying she made it up. I even think that today's Chinese youth resent Japan more than the Chinese who experienced the war.
@@user-vz5gi5tw9x I'm not sure where you heard that kimonos are banned in China. That's completely false, you can wear a kimono in China and most people wouldn't care about it. The only people who may care or who may find it disturbing are people who are middle-aged or older, particularly those born in the 1950's to 1970's. For younger generations born in the 80's, 90's and 00's, a lot of them grown up watching Japanese anime and some have even cosplayed anime characters. My opinion is entirely the opposite of yours, the younger generations in China are more acceptive of new ideas and outside influences, whereas the older ones are more stubborn.

I like most of the questions on this channel as they seem neutral but I do think there was one part where the interviewer inserted his own opinion on how China was "putting on a pretense" by having rich clean areas and less developed areas. I have no idea how you can insert a government's motive into a difference in building standards in rich and poor areas
Have you been there?
I agree. I can’t imagine China putting on a facade for foreign consumption, as I heard they do in N. Korea. They have no incentive to do that. However, I believe the story about the new old-fashioned village. That is to modernize in a Disneyesque fashion. Probably their form of gentrification.
@@stephencarroll230 They're mostly just putting on the image for the government officials. It was funny hearing them think it's for foreigners, though. As if anyone even goes to the B-tier and C-tier cities.
@@stephencarroll230 Yeah we do the exact same things in Europe, America and the UK. Like Cottage-core and village life. Hardly any of it is actually the original old stuff, it's mostly torn down and rebuilt in the style of those buildings to bring the building standards up to modern requirements
I live in China and regularly travel to Japan. I think from my generation onwards (90s plus) we have a positive impression of Japan and vice versa. I have Japanese friends and it is great. The older generations however are more bitter as many had relatives in their living memory that were brutally killed under Imperial Japan.
I am Singaporean and I have lived in China for some years (also visited Japan 7 times) and I also return to China yearly on short term trips. People in China lack in some social manners such as speak loudly, spitting and jump queue (but they don’t fight. People just get used to it) but these are people mainly from rural areas especially the upper and middle age and elderly. Young people don’t do that (check out UA-cam videos on how the western people describe Chinese children are disciplined, courteous, respectful to teachers unlike in the west where children are wild, naughty, disrespectful to teachers). In these aspects Japan is better than China but in future it will be about the same as younger generations grow older. In terms of hospitality (include being friendly and helpful) and being inclusive to foreigners, China beats Japan by big margin. Chinese is so patient and would help foreigners all the way to solve their problems such as finding the hotel, buying train ticket (this was actually commented by a German vlogger Ken when he first arrived in China and made a comparison between Chinese and Japanese). Chinese also love to invite foreigners for dinner at restaurant or their house. In customer service at hotel/retailers, my feeling is Japanese are better than Chinese (do note competition is very stiff in China and they for sure is improving continuously). For the Chinese who left their parent’s home to work in cities or overseas, they have this mentality that they must return home visit their parents at least once per year. The Japanese don’t think this way. The Chinese have tendency to help each other especially in the community where they live while most of the Japanese keep to themselves. Lastly, the militarism political party of Japan may harbour the idea of invading other countries again (like they did in ww2), China on their hand is a peaceful country which will only counter attack if her territories are infringed. Lastly I want to say Japanese (and the western people) more or less (I would say >90%)have been brainwashed by their media which are negative about China; also sometimes I feel some of the Japanese social manners are kind of robotic (like bowing; repeatedly say thank you) with no feelings to it and their people hide their feelings (I would use the word ‘心机‘ to describe Japanese) unlike the Chinese who are genuine and being honest to you about their feelings.

for those Japanese out there who didn't know about its past or pretend not to know :
The estimated number of people killed by Japanese troops varies. R. J. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, estimates that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly three to over ten million people, most likely six million Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Malays, Indonesians, Filipinos and Indochinese, among others, including European, American and Australian prisoners of war. According to Rummel, "This democide [i.e., death by government] was due to a morally bankrupt political and military strategy, military expediency and custom, and national culture."[82] According to Rummel, in China alone, from 1937 to 1945, approximately 3.9 million Chinese were killed, mostly civilians, as a direct result of the Japanese operations and a total of 10.2 million Chinese were killed in the course of the war.[83] According to the British historian M. R. D. Foot, civilian deaths were between 10 million and 20 million.[84] British historian Mark Felton claims that up to 30 million people were killed, most of them civilians.:[

Interesting topic and great content, thanks for the video!👍😂🙏
lots of japanese still have a colonial mind just like french politician. japan should put the real history in their education curriculum not hiding the reality from their people on what atrocious past they had. so sad.
I visit Japan quite often (every year for the past three years and every few years before that) and the last time the Japanese behavior against tourists especially Asians who they all assume are from Mainland China, was baaad. Doesn't matter if you were born in the West or Hong Kong or Taiwan or Singapore or Malaysia or Vietnam or Thai. The Japanese were loudly and angrily criticizing and/or laughing at them like bullies.
Compared to other years, the only major difference I can think of is the worsening economy is stressing Japanese, more tourists come because of the weak yen is stressing Japanese, along with all their other social problems, and they (all ages) vent their anger onto tourists, if not Chinese then Asian then anyone else. They say it's because manners but every country is going to have different manners compared to Japan and most do behave well. The nail that sticks out gets hammered in Japan and this has never been more true.
Personally I wouldn't visit the major tourist areas in Japan until the yen improves or if before that then the less-traveled areas.
It's probably because most Chinese tourist (and Western tourist) are loud and obnoxious... I was in Kyoto in February and it was just hordes of Chinese, American and European tourist pushing their way through the lines and on their phones to get the best pic for instagram. I am an American who frequently visits Japan and is deeply embarrassed by this behavior. Unfortunately I think you are correct. The trash of the world can now afford to vacation in Japan and it is running it for everyone else.
@@mauricegford16497 don't forget the obnoxious Korean streamers making a quick buck from Japanese
Lmao, chinese bots gaslightning in the comment is truly a sight to behold. Turism in Japan was almost 10 times bigger than the previous year, after the BIG regulations with C-19 which is still a problem today. And they just had record numbers (+17 million) despite being a very expensive country, so tourism is expected to be even better this 2024. People love to travel to Japan and 99% have only good things to say about how respectful Japanese people are.
China on the other hand is backing dictatorship all around the world that are making people flee their country. Like China-backed Nicolas Maduro who made +8 million of Venezuela flee their own land in the worst possible conditions.
I like Chinese people and Chinese tech. I have some criticism of their top-down style of government. Based on what I've heard politicians are accountable to other politicians above them rathen than to the people they're governing. So it incentives local government to cover up issues from the central government. For example you could have a famine in one region being covered up while another has a surplus of food but if governors are too scared to ask for help for fear of getting in trouble for let things get to that point then nothing gets solved. Sadly it's very difficult to criticize this sort of thing. I have no hate but you can't fix problems of you don't talk about them.
1. You CAN critize political directions and decisions, just don't go around pointing fingers at politicians if you don't really have evidences of the suposed wrong doings, that would simply go down as defamation. You live in a province and you make a report to Beijing about your disconform about the directions that your provincial government is taking. There's also A LOT of protests to be honest, but the western media doesn't show them because It actually goes agaisnt your impression about the freedom of speech in China.
2. They take results very serious, and having obvious cases of corruption could end you up with DEATH PENALTY; most of them end up with a huge fine + many years in the cell tho, but the central government in Beijing don't shy away about who they need to punish, be a military general or a famous millionaire.
3. The internet and the number of internet users in China goes around 1Billion. There's so many way to find out nowadays that your government is doing some shady things than before.

Not only Japanese media, all western media are very hostile against China for geopolitical reasons to protect themselves. And we're all victims of them living in the west. No country is perfect, I ran into very rude people here as well in the west daily. It dose not make sense to judge other culture with your own, but I believe more and more Chinese will adopt to deal with different people differently and improve their "manner". And if you work with different classes of people, the experience would be different. Surprised to see Japanese schools system covered WII tightly, one could repeat a mistake over and over if he has no way to realize that's a mistake. If the war crimes by Japanese in WII were covered so deliberately, how could they understand why they were hit by A-bomb twice to stop the war?

There're selfish or self-centered people in every country not just China. Please don't generalize an entire population.

I liked a lot of the things that the guy at 14:15 said, but one thing that I think is weird is that when the Japanese government makes some kind of mistake, they will sometimes go on television, very publicly and directly admit their wrongdoing, ask the Japanese people for forgiveness, and humbly bow. I have really deeply respected that. But considering the millions of Chinese citizens the Japanese raped, murdered, and performed human experiments on exactly like the Nazis did, does this guy really believe that the Japanese government has done enough to allow the Chinese people to just forget about what Japan did to them and to move on? Is that realistic?
And even though I do think he was reasonable and he made some good points, he still said things like, “for various reasons some people became victims.” The reasons were that his government sent a bunch of soldiers to China and they raped and murdered millions and millions of people and performed cruel human experiments on many others. That’s the reason.
It wasn’t just Japan peacefully colonized other lands. They raped, murdered, and tortured. And there’s no good reason to do that. And I think that until particularly their government is willing to be honest about what they did and humbly ask for forgiveness, of course there likely will not be good feelings and truly peaceful relations between the two countries.
And I think that’s a shame. Because these videos have actually done a lot to give me a much more positive view of Japanese people. I have enjoyed them. But human beings, for better or worse, can not build healthy relationships until past crimes have truly been acknowledged and sincerely apologized for. If somebody raped, murdered, and tortured your family, would you think it would be normal to have a friendly relationship with the killer if you didn’t really feel like they were genuinely sorry for what they had done? I really don’t think so.

I'm Chinese and I have mixed feelings about Japan. On the one hand this country has a lot of positive sides such as cars, techs, animes, etc. But on the other hand I don't like the way how this country deals with its past. And also I feel that Japanese don't really understand Chinese culture and history, like for instance they really like the Three Kingdoms or Sangoku for some reason, but in reality this period in Chinese history was a period of chaos and destruction and there's nothing to brag about it. And moreover please stop making random claims like Yayoi originated from the Yangtse region, according to recent genetic tests (Cooke et al. 2021) the Yayoi were a mixture of native Jomon with incoming Tungus people from the Amur or the West Liao River region of Manchuria and had nothing to do with Central or South China. The southern parts of China were the homeland of Austro-Tai peoples and had nothing to do with Japonic.
And regarding the fact that someone mentioned Chinese people never line up in a queue while waiting for the bus, I admit this is largely true, however for the younger generations things are changing and more and more are starting to line up when waiting for buses or subways. And I think it also depends on the region and the time of the day, if you're in a big Chinese metropolis in the morning rush hour, then it's understandable that some people are in a hurry and don't want to line up so as to not miss the train or bus. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but it's understandable.
We should think about the fact that Chinese leaders are distorting history, which is probably taboo in China.
Does it really matter when the country of China threatens Japan every day by conducting drills and sending missiles into it's EEZ. By China invading Taiwan, it must strike Japanese and US bases in Japan and that would also kill innocent Japanese people themselves. China would also kill Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Australian and Filipino people if Japan's military wasn't so strong. It sounds very hypocritical especially when Japan is by leaps and bounds the country that post WW2 has done the most without any question to help Asia be more prosperous and safe and China itself has turned into Imperial Japan itself in XI Jinping's ambitions. Also, how many Chinese know of what China did to Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan. Uighurs, Afghanistan and how it helps kill Ukranians and lets North Korea exist??
Politics doesn't matter to a regular person who just lives his regular day to day life and as people who haven't done anything wrong they don't need to know EVERYTHING. History is a terrible thing for Chinese people to mention to a Japanese person when China threatens to kill Taiwanese and Japanese people everyday and would do both in a heartbeat if it was strong enough.
I will tell you the truth. I'm an expert on Japan and China. If you are kind to Japanese, I can guarantee 90% of them will be kind in return. They can even be your best friend. This is not something applicable to other countries eg S.Korea where blood means everything. The CCP have also hidden and censored mass atrocities of it's own citizens from themselves. And these happened even more recently than Japan's past aggressions.
It is hardly to find innovations from Japan nowadays. Japan is living in the past and still a colonized place.
15:00-17:07 good conversation
So, are the Japanese not taught about the war crimes they committed against the Chinese during World War II? That's wild - like for us in the U.S.perhaps that might challenge the imperial mindset.
Pretty much near-none. Most Japanese would position Japan as the victims of war. They look at China as sore losers who didn't westernize and militarize fast/early enough and are only good at complaining and leeching off of Japan's modern day generosity. And they were not properly educated on their war crimes, if at all. The justification being that every side in the war has had committed war crime to some degree, and that China's numbers of Japan are exaggerated and fake, "fake and ghey".
In China you can find several WWII museums and memorials. One of the most notorious being the Unit 731 museum in Harbin.
But at the end of the day, they still liked Chinese more than Korean, but that was up until the Covid era. China is vastly behind South Korea in soft power. Japanese youth are now just beginning to become infested by hallyu.

The Japanese are well taught
Oxford University has been awarded the 2019 World Cup in the United States, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
I was researching history textbooks from various countries, I think it was around 2013 or something like that.
As a result, Chinese history textbooks are propaganda.
Korean history textbooks are fantasy
Taiwan's history textbooks are generally written objectively and fairly.
And... the results showed that Japanese history textbooks were the ones that contained the most objective facts.
Ironically, it is common in the world for people to express their opinions without hesitation if they have something they want to say, but in Japan, perhaps because we are an island nation, we have a culture that values refraining from expressing ourselves, so we often do not respond to many of the opinions of neighboring countries.

Who is this man?
News media plays a great role in projecting the images of a country. The ordinary people often doesn't do fact checks on the news and take it as is.
On the other hand, Chinese people generally have a negative impression of Japan due to the atrocities Japan committed in WWII to China and her Asian neighbours. Japan never acknowledged there were comfort women, forced labour, Nanjing Massacre. Above all, Japan never apologized for her war crimes and paid compensation for the victims.
In contrast, Germany apologized for her war crimes in WWII and paid compensation to the victims.
What you say is wrong. Japan was tried in the Far East Military Tribunal by the Allied Powers (US, UK, Netherlands, Republic of China; Chiang Kai-shek). The issue of World War II has been resolved by apologizing to the countries involved and paying reparations. Communist China was a country that was created after World War II.Therefore, Communist China and Japan did not go to war, but Japan and Communist China concluded a peace treaty, and Japan apologized and provided ODA, which is equivalent to reparations. Japan provided aid to communist China, which was essentially reparations. Japan did not go to war with communist China, but it did provide reparations and an apology.
@@森田和義-k6u Don't twist the history. Japan invaded China since the War of 1894. It doesn't care about which form of government under which Japan committed her war crimes.
Give me some facts about the reparations. How much and in what ways. There are protests recently in South Korea about comfort women, and the Japanese gov't turned a deaf ear to the issues. I think Japan just wants all these people to die out eventually and claim all these did not happen. They are only fictions.
@@森田和義-k6u I am from Hong Kong. Hong Kong suffered 3 years and 8 months at the hands of the Japanese invaders. My older generation told me they suffered greatly through starvation, forced labour, fear of executions. Please don't glorify or cover-up the past "dirty" history; accept and make apology for the atrocities committed, though they happened decades ago, and have nothing to do with you personally.
@@eagleswatch6905 Yes, I understand. Unfortunately, Japan was at war with Britain and the United States and had to attack Hong Kong, where the British army was holed up. It is unfortunate that the Japanese military police brutally assaulted the people of Hong Kong. However, in post-war trials, Japanese military personnel were tried as war criminals. We must admit that the Japanese military caused great suffering to the people of Hong Kong. What I want to say is that war brings such tragedies, and aren't the countries that criticize Japan currently fighting wars and invading other countries? Specifically, the so-called permanent members of the United Nations, the United States, Russia, China, and the United Kingdom, are divided into liberal and communist groups and have continued proxy wars in various places to this day. This is a serious problem. I don't think it's an issue that can be solved by using Japan, which hasn't been at war for 80 years, as a scapegoat.
@@森田和義-k6u The war criminals deserved their destiny and infamous in history. Let's face it. A country cannot go to a full-scale war without the support of her countrymen. Are you telling me the Japanese were forced to war by the politicians to commit all these heinous acts?
5:42 wut lmao why is she talking about the American Declaration of Independence
She believes Americas success comes from the ideals that we have unalienable rights that have to be respected. She wishes the mentioned country had more rights for their people.
i love Japan, is my fav country, but it's important to remember the atrocities committed in China during the war. While Japan has changed significantly and the current generation isn't responsible for the past, it's worth noting that the emperor who led during those times was pardoned and remained in power, with the current emperor being from the same lineage. From a Chinese perspective, watching this video can be frustrating to say the least.
the best approach is to move forward and avoid stirring up old wounds with questions that don't contribute positively to relations between the two nations. you got my first downvote.
regarding Chinese tourist, yes, this is another issue, they cam be disrespectful, not only in Japan, in many other places, this is something that is on their side and they need to fix.
US had a huge part in the cover up by giving immunity to Japan's royal family and A class war criminals in exchange for bio warfare data. Many prominent war criminals went on to become key figures in Japanese politics, pharmaceutical companies etc. This indoctrination where Japan is seen as a victim and not invader is further entrenched in public education. Anyways, it's in the past. Did Mongols, Manchus, Europeans apologize for invading and murdering millions of Chinese? How about CCP which killed 40 million of it's own people during the course of it's reign?
They say they lack manners, are too loud and not considerate of those around them. Throw trash on the street. This will rub people the wrong way.
@@sara.cbc92 Why do you keep believing in this "Devil's Proof" that doesn't exist. Common sense will say if it there's no evidence, then it didn't happen but for some reason you have to keep saying more nonsense to cover your nonsense. Then what was the purpose of democracy? Innocence before proven guilty is one of the values of democracy, is it not? For the record, there's no evidence of 731, Nanking and comfort woman. Just a bunch of isolated incidents which they were tried and convicted but no evidence of a systematic massacre.
The Emperor did not have military command during World War II, so the history you were taught was based on someone else's ideas.
@@dradrapaty could be. But to a foreign nation it doesn’t matter
Of course every nationality have good and bad people but based on my experience in Canada. taiwanese people are nicest.
cina dengan aliran konfuseisme, menghormati orang/ negata lain, tanpa pandang suku/ agama, tidak pernah menjajah/ invasi/ membom dengan negara lain, tapi tiongkok metadakan sakit dan menderita waktu japan invasi dan menjajah cina secara sadis dan kejam, pemimpin cina menyadarin ini, maka pimimpin cina bilang harus bisa berdiri dikaki sendiri tanpa tergantung negara lain, cjna harus kuat mesin perangnya, kuat ekonominya, kuat tehnologinya, makmur, kaya dan sekarang terbukti, cina sangat kuat disegala bidang, cina tidak pernah memulai perang , begitu anda serang cina, anda akan digulung sampai keakar2nya
That was quite interesting.
It's a form of evil to try to use history to guilt-trip people. However commentary on common courtesy, decency of civic behaviour is "open season" based on accurate observations.
