Japan released apology for what happened and done in the past, not only Nanjing matter.
Even Emperor Hirohito admitted whole responsibility is to him, and this statement was released through US media.

(Chinese ppl can't not see Wikipedia, cos China government confine the Internet connection. I put information which Chinese can also read.)
And extradite surviving war criminals? Are you seriously saying that? Judgment was already finished.
Why don't Chinese ppl accuse their government? Its same. all finished.

How about what US troops did in Vietnam, Korea and MidEast today. They should appoligize formaly? You can't answer, can you?
The number of the casualties in Nanjing matter, the data in China is weired and exaggerated. Nobody couldn't find the correct data, but they say more than 300,000. We have to think about the population there.
Actually whole population of Nanjing at that time was only 200,000.
China always use big numbers which start with 3, such as 3,000, 30,000, 300,000,etc when they wanna exaggerate things in their history. Actually the number have been increasing some times. First 25,000, then 100,000. and why today 300,000?
Chinese scholar also admit this Chinese tendency. so weired.

Japan has, officially and unofficially, apologized dozens of times. The Chinese government is well aware of this, but wants to keep this card because it plays well with its uninformed citizens. You have to remember that, despite its recent success with capitalism, China is still a communist country. It needs a common enemy to divert the people's attention from economic inequalities. Having said that, I think the Japanese government needs to take a more proactive approach to directly reach the younger Chinese people that the Japanese government is sorry for its wrongdoings and assure them that it will never happen again.

Nope... not again... besides that China doesn't exist anymore. The China of today has done more damage to it's own people than Japan did 50 years ago.

Yes.
But then there'll be no end of apologies demanded...
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was an atrocity too. Targetting civilians is just wrong, however much you think Japan as an imperialist country "had it coming" - which I do.
Do you think the U.S. would have been as keen to try out their new weapon, if the enemy had been white and christian?

I thought they already did. China wants reparations. Japan hasn't answered yet.
