Philippines steps up drills with U.S., Japan forces near South China Sea

Why aren't Japanese protesting for the naval participation / training exercises which are being conducted here along with PI and US? Or is it just the new security bills legislation which are alarming citizens to go out and protest-

"“By muddying the waters in the South China Sea, Tokyo also aims to divert increasingly intensive global attention on Japan’s lack of remorse over its atrocities during World War Two,” Xinhua said"

LOLOL. Does China realize that the Phillipines was also invaded by Japan in WWII?

I am not sure the Japanese need to keep feeling bad about WWII they lost millions when America fought back. The Japan that did all the atrocities burned to the ground.
