Japan had to confront its own past to take on ChinaAnalysis: Tokyo’s patience with China - as demonstrated by its strong backing of Australia - is wearing thin despite centuries of shared culture, trade and war Can we not act like less than 100 years ago ww2 happened. And that Japan is still a powerful country. Neither them nor China are our enemy so stop acting like it. Otherwise at least call this an opinion piece not an analysis! Peter Hartcher of smh. Your discussion on Q&A in regards to China was the most clear headed accurate and balanced take on the issue that has been presented in the media to-date. Congratulations. You sir are a legend for your concise non partisan clear minded presentation. Whoever wrote this must be the class idiot... but sicko white AUSTRALIA is at the same pathetic level re history + diplomacy. We might not have learned from history but the CHINESE have, also KOREANS who were occupied by JAPAN since 1910... thus we are a country without a future
