Why on earth does this issue come up year after year after year, and the Chinese and Korean governments wouldn't accept it even if Japan apologised on mass. It is part of the cultural norm in East Asia to do something, and never apologise for it and then hope it goes away or people forgive you, What concerns me more, and America should put pressure on the Chinese who are at loggerheads with half their neighbors with the island desputes. China is becoming a major partner for the USA economically and they fail to push China on these island issue because they don't want an economic war with China. Until China toes the line internationally and stops bullying smaller neighbors the world should ignore their pathetic annual cry for Japan's apology.
