China and Korea have long been harshly accusing Japan of issues over the comfort women and the Nanking massacre without any solid evidence. On the other hand, it's the nature of Japanese people to keep quiet to avoid conflicts and to put up with something until the last minute. Add to that most Japanese people have been brainwashed by misleading education plotted by the Allies. At last, however, the Japanese Government, which had never lifted a finger over this issue for a long time, insisted that the appeals from both countries should be just fabrications.
Let me date back to the 15th century. The arrival of Vasco da Gama in Asia brought merciless distress to Asian countries and then the darkest periods of Asia started. Asian people had been under the tight control of European superpowers for 400 years until 1905, when Japan sealed a sweeping victory over Russia. Japan had been involved in various military conflicts despite its efforts to avoid them.
Eventually Japan surrendered and Japanese people were placed under the distorted education system made up by the Allies. In my case, I was taught that Japan used to be an evil nation before World War II. However, when the Allies were accusing Japanese leaders in the Tokyo Tribunal of War Criminals on Japan's colonial occupation, they were re-invading Asian countries. Do you know about the Indochina Wars? It should be called arrogant delusion. Lots of people came to know the real history and this movement is gathering pace.
The following picture shows the speech by the Japanese high officials in the U.N. committee.
