Let's put some numbers into the answer to your question and perhaps we can have a better understand of the long tragic histroy.
We are screaming about 2500 of America's soldiers lost their lives in Iraq today.The Holocaust cost almost 6 million Jewish lives. In China, 10 million died in the hands of the Japanese invasion. In the entire U.S.(2005 census) there are only 8 or 9 states with populations larger than that. Just imagine if the population of your entire home state was wipe out. The way these people died was not much less grusome that what the Nazies did to people in Europe. Let me share with you some well docuement but less publisized examples.
During the rape of Nanking, (just one city alone) almost 500,000 civilizian, men women, children were butchered. In one incidence, the Japanese lined up the civilians by the river bank at the break of dawn and started to behead them. It was still not finished at sun set. The brutality was so appauling a German diplomat had to contacted his higher-ups back home and begged for interventation.
In Harbin, Manchuria, the Japanese established Unit 731, a biological warfare research center. Chinese civilian were used as test subjects for Anthrax, poinson gas and various infectous deseases. Test subjects were disected, life and without anesthetics to get a better understanding of what the desease would do to humans. Eventually when they left, they unleashed infected animals in Harbin and killed another 30,000 people.
At the end of the war, the U.S. gave the Japanese amesty from these war crimes in exchange for the knowledge of those research. To this date, while the greater part of Germany's national concience deals with the country's misdeads in the past, Japan still has not acknowledged a lot of its war crimes. Now the Japanese Prime minister is going to visit the War Shrine to honor the countyr's war heros, many of whom were the very same group of butchers. That really opens up the old wounds with China.

The relationship is like that between any two sovereign nations as for example between USA and Canada, or USA and Britain!
By the way, World War II was not confined to Asia but affected the entire world in some ways or the other!

Thousands of Chinese protesters gather in Beijing to express their anger over Japanese textbooks that they feel overlook Tokyo's World War II actions. The relationship between the Asian powers has been increasingly strained in recent years.

it rather is been an exciting concern to learn! I even have studied Martial Arts my entire existence and am sixty two years old and characteristic discovered that the variations are greater cultural than actual! although domestically the chinese language interior the Northern aspects of China look taller and their eyes are closer in visual charm to the human beings who stay in Mongolia and Tibet! The Southern chinese language look shorter and their eyes are greater resembling the eastern and Taiwanese! it rather is very subjective so i assume that's exceedingly plenty the way the the remainder of the international sees it too! The Germans did a "racial" learn earlier WWII and took facial measurements and a few of that Ido is obtainable on the cyber web in case you google it!

Tense, both want the others trade. However China still has alot of anger over the Japanese occupation from WWII, it would help if the Japanese would accept and apoligize for the atrocities commited by their occupation forces.

Still icey...Korea, Japan and China are not real warm to one another. Old scores are hard to forget over there. But I assume they will be chummy in a century or two. Then we will have the AU (Asian Union) to deal with the same as we deal with EU.

After Japan-China war, many Chinese had come to Japan to study and train military affairs.
