Historical Essay: How to Treat Sino-Japanese Relations in Modern History
What we often say is that Japanese worshiped China's culture in ancient times. Since the Ming Dynasty, although the Japanese did not stop harassing the southeast coast, on the whole, Japan showed a respectful attitude towards China. This state lasted until after the Meiji Restoration, when Japan's national strength developed rapidly, and then it began to covet North Korea and China, until China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War, and Japan became one of the great powers to carve up China. However, Japan never gave up this strategy, and gradually turned China into its colony based on the mainland policy, until the Sino-Japanese War broke out and Japan was completely defeated in the Second World War.

The logic and statement of this deliberately whitewashed historical event seems impeccable, and we have always believed it. But it was not until I had an exchange with my friends that I completely doubted this history.

In all fairness, regardless of all national justice, Japan is a very excellent nation, and its powerful ability is no less than that of the Jewish nation. For example, Japan, a country with limited resources and a small market, became a world power after the Meiji Restoration (considering China's unsatisfactory experience after the Revolution of 1911, the success of the Meiji Restoration is a proposition worthy of study from any angle). In addition, after Japan's defeat in World War II, despite the support of the United States, it quickly became a world economic power (the four little dragons in Asia are unmatched).

Is such a nation, can you simply look at its relationship with China in modern history? Is it only the so-called ambition, annexation and aggression?
