Claimants touting that Japan is the friendliest country in the world must have their eyes checked and heads examined.

The Chinese have the saying that when a Japanese meets some other Asians, they bow meekly, but behind their backs, they hold a sickle. Japanese are hypocrites to be honest, very friendly on the surface, but looks down on other Asians, thinking they are the chosen people of the East, like the Israelis in the Middle East.

Had the Japanese conquered the whole of East Asia under their 'Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere' during WW2, and been in control of Asia now, there would not be an ASEAN or China to speak of. Chinese would probably be living in concentration camps and decimated like the Native American Indians. Just reading about the massacres and atrocities the Japanese committed in China and other Asian countries will tell us that the Japanese mentality also relish genocides just to make Japan Great Again.

Japan is still unrepentant over its actions during WW2 and insidiously looking for an opportunity, hoping to rise once again leveraging on the support of the USA. The rising militarization of Japan is one direction that China has to look at constructively. Fortunately, Japan will not just walk over into China again, as the memory of the past is too heavy a price to be paid and allowed to happen again, particularly in relation to China.
