China vs. Japan

Anyone who knows their history will have to admit that China has a right to be angry about the Japanese glossing over less favorable parts of there history - mainly massacres during WWII.
To a point, that is.

In a way, this seems almost like one criminal pointing their finger at another. If you look at Chinese textbooks, they have only one version of history. That version is whatever the communist government says it is going to be. And don't even think about questioning it - they'll likely shoot you.

Chinese textbooks do not mention that there were people killed at Tiananmen square - never mind the fact that has also been classified as a massacre. And the thousands of people who have disappeared under China's communist government? No mention of them either.

While Japan needs to admit to its past, what country in the world can claim otherwise about themselves? Most Western countries have also committed horrible atrocities, that are often glossed over.

So in regards to the Chinese government, this is simply a scenario of the pot calling the kettle black.
