Had a drink with a retiring Japanese acquaintance managing a 'fastener' business.

When our conversation drifted to what his people did at Nanjing, he lowered his head ... he said that most Japanese never considered WWII over, their country is still occupied by invaders (cloaked under one-sided defence agreements that entitles the invaders to base military assets in his home country without control), invader military personnel claimed immunities from local crimes (rapes, robbery, assault, etc of which only a fraction reported and a fraction of that reaching the media), to be successful his politicians need to align with the USA but ordinary Japanese are not anti-China nor forgotten what their Shinto military did in Nanjing. Only crimes committed by low ranking US soldiers/personnel are allowed in the media.

He said that the US never leave a country they invaded .. S Korea, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Philippines, etc always leaving behind physical military leverages. With a smile he said that Singapore is the exception that is occupied without the need to invade. By invitation. He laughed and said we are "Oroka". Ha Ha ... you guys check it out.

He ended with a hope that 'occupied' Singapore will not suffer the same sufferings and destructions visited upon all such occupied countries. Inevitably, such pawns will be sacrificed with ease for geopolitical advantage.

He even repeated a Chinese saying "It is easy to invite a deity, but difficult to send one off". Good Luck.

The Americans are good deities. Why should we send them off? It's the commie chinks who should fuck off from the South China Sea.

We need to wake up from these dreams. Nanking was a war crime of catastrophic proportion in modern history. Only their WWII ally Germany outdid them by annihilating 6 million jews and Romany Gypsies in gas chamber.

One has to take the proverbial finger out and stop listening to Japanese lowering their heads and diverting their attention to Ben & Jerry Ice Cream stories. After they tell you these stories, they will annually go and lower their heads and pay respect to the very war criminals behind the Rape of Nanking at Yakusuni Shrine. If they are truly remorseful, that shine would have long gone.

Singaporeans generally struggle with critical thinking. A good start is learn to compare apples with apples

I wholly agree with you. Articulated critically indeed! Anecdotal glimpses like this serves no real purpose into the inner persona or inner workings of the Japanese people; much less the political hawks.

He is one of the "forgotten people of Japan", sorry to paraphrase Trump. i am also pretty sure the Jap political leadership does not think like him and has forgotten about him. Geopolitically, Japan is on the right course because geopolitics compels govts to act out of necessity and to choose between the lesser of two evils, disregarding ethics, morality, or even a sense of honour and shame. That's Realpolitik
