#1 Japan earned every ounce of scorn, disgust and revulsion for what it did in WW2.

That being said, now this is just full anti-Japanese media being pumped out for Chinese and Korean audiences.

Fact: What Japan's former Imperial Military did in the Sino-Japanese wars was a true evil horror.

But still, it is, but a drop in the bucket compared to what the CCP Communists have done, in the last 80 years, to the Chinese people since the CCP took control.

QUESTION:
Could the CCP be laying Propaganda groundwork, in its recent increases of anti-Japan propaganda sentiment, for a bigger deflective reason?

Given, Taiwan, is just 110 KM from Japan's outer Islands.
Send a few ships up near the Japan islands, to deflect attention while backdooring Taiwan.

#6 Some Japanese will tell you that the victims of the Nanjing Massacre were Chiang Kai-shek's troops who had shed their uniforms and wore civilian clothes in a cowardly attempt to avoid fighting.

We all know it's the winners who get to write the history books so we'll never know what all the Japanese did in Manchuria that the British hadn't done in India, or what the British hadn't done in China, or what the French hadn't done in Indochina or the Dutch in Indonesia.

But, hey, Roosevelt needed an excuse to get into WWII and the Japanese were handy.

An interesting point there. Roosevelt was backing Chiang Kia-Shek and it probably never occurred to him that Mao would eventually defeat Chiang Kai-Shek and go on to gain control of China. We can only speculate what might have happened if the Japanese had been able to bring all of their forces to bear against the communists instead of having to fight Chiang, Mao and Roosevelt all at the same time.
