Chinese (still) Protesting Japanese Textbooks

Japan Today - Chinese protestors pelt Japan Embassy, envoy's residence.

Ten to twenty thousand people protested in Beijing against the approval of Japanese textbooks that they believe fail to sufficiently address Japanese atrocities committed during Wold War II.

Japan clearly doesn't want to face up to what happened, the communist party clearly wants to fan the flames of nationalism and xenophobia, and the Chinese and Japanese people are both being done a disservice in the process...

Here is another interesting article at Japan Today about how the communist party's agenda is affecting popular sentiment in China.
