No I agree Japanese militarism was big disappointment and non forgivable. My point to @ety was let’s no jumble all Japanese into that militarist mindset. The Japanese military also killed 5 .5 million Indonesian during WW2 occupation. While I admit and hate Japan’s militarist crimes in China, Korea, Indonesia etc I also admire how they in matter of years industrialized and became a world power equal to western powers then. Japan’s. I Tory in the Battke Tsushima was celebrated by Asians from Chinese to south asians who viewed that they could defeat western industrial countries.
I understand your point, but unfortunately, you can't expect everyone to make that distinction.
Look at what the Indians and Americans here have been saying. Haven't they been lumping all Chinese people together?
Why don't you ask the Indians and Americans to do the same first? Then we can talk about this.

Japan's industrialization was largely helped by the US for ideological and Cold War reasons.
You don't think it was all Japan's own achievement, do you?
