Japan should align with China, you know, assuming China wants them. They probably need to apologise for all their warcrimes first.

Japanese leadership would probably rather have every inch of Japan be scorched in nuclear fire then admit to one warcrime. Let alone apologize for it.

You're right. But I feel like the right wing really doesn't want to do that. People with cushy jobs have grandfathers who committed war crimes.

Looking at the state of things they might not have cushy jobs for long.
