The Japanese conquest of China actually helped the communists and decimated the Nationalists.

Furthermore, remember that the point raised : Some Japanese even deny the massacre took place is quite true. See the disgust (appropriate) that comes when Iran's Presidente denies the Holocaust and you can understand why they dislike Koizumi's visits to the Shrine.

Yes which is more of the ChiCom ludicrousness on this issue when they bring it up like clockwork.

Mao said the Japanese need never apologize and that they need to actually thank the japanese.
