@groinksan, i agree with you on all the points except the last sentence. "Just let China get it out of their system" is especially right, same logic aplly to the arabs and the muslims. Let china and japan have a good one on one fight. And there will be no weenie or jibba jabba on history disputes anymore. China give japan a good beat and no more japaness history denial , and then peace will decend and they will be good friends.

Surely China and Japan will confront each other militarily, sooner or later. There are a lot of discussion here but you don't see people touching the very basics, the world war two in this part of the world. Unlike Europe, where the war was won the the British and the Soviet, with the help of United States. So the post war order made sure that Germany and his friends are on the same page as the Brits and Russians. So there are no muddy history disagreement. In Eastern Asian, Korea was colonized, China was lucky to win eventually only after United States lend a helping hands. So the post war order was reflection of US will, not the locals. US hold the key to the regional security but is not sensitive enough to clean up the left over of Japanese militarism . With China on the rise, surely as a local the Chinese will clean up this issue. Its a half done job. One has to say Japan has done a very impressive job of able to deny some basic facts of WW2 even 70 years after the war. And the reason Japan can do that is because it lost the war to the US not the locals and still holds lead after the war on every aspect . It is unimaginable any German Chancellor sing the prase of the NAZIS. So sit tight and prepare for the turbulency.
