They also downplayed them out from history lessons i.e single line mentions in textbooks and single sentence footnotes. Obvious teachers will NOT allow you to learn more(lol internet), and I'm pretty sure there some denial at work as well (currently some people believe chinese paid some actors as victims ), but they do have a museum for it i think, although it's small private, and funded by an ex-vet.
Their laws don't have anything against racism, but they have been adopting international ones lately, there's a national monument Yasukuni Shrine honoring war criminals. China on the other hand is like a polar opposite, While japan has selective amnesia, they in detail teach what crimes the Japanese did to them. South Korea has a more modern educational system, so they don't emphasize as much , but the tension is still there on forced prostitution japan did to them. Taiwan..no idea. History lessons: Japan - eh what did we do, i forgot, i know the term's but not the details. China- Here's what they did, how they did it, why they did it, how much they did it, . how much they enjoyed doing it, and here's a reminder of what they did again. One's holding a grudge and the other's pretty much erasing their past, however that is actually pretty disturbing as the older population dies and the younger grow up, they will in turn become easily swayed by nationalistic views, and eventually dismiss the war crimes as fiction, thus increasing the friction.
