Reminder that Japan proudly killed 20 million Chinese people in WW2, and the overwhelming majority of modern Japan still support their ancestors or deny that Japan did anything wrong to China (www.reddit.com)

And they committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in all of those places. Not only did they kill millions of Chinese people, they did what the nazis did in Eastern Europe to the rest of Asia and Oceania.

Just take your pick: "comfort women," the Bataan Death March (one of my relatives was killed in this one), Bombing of Singapore, the Parit Song Massacre, the Laha Massacre, the Kalagon Massacre, destruction of mosques and ethnic cleansing of Muslims (Hui, Moro, Suluk, and more), and on and on. The Japanese royal family oversaw most of these atrocities while Tojo took most of the blame.
