See how the Japanese view the historical changes in China. Oh, my God, my history
In fact, both sides are beautifying themselves, but Japan has gone further and even completely denied the occurrence of some facts. In the early years, Japanese officials publicized Japan's visit to China in order to help China resist European and American powers to overthrow feudal autocracy, liberate the suffering people of China and realize the common prosperity of Northeast Asia. Because Japan also turned over from a colonial state at that time, many good people in Japan were deceived by the government, thinking that this was the case. When the China administration participated in the trial of Japanese war criminals after the war, most Japanese people were indignant and thought that the people of China were actually innocent victims of the war.
