Not true. The Japanese is clearly a superior race than the crass Chinks. Just like SPG always wishing they were angmoh slut, most Taiwanese wished they were Japanese. When they considered history, than Nippon did colonise them for a period of time, they deceive themselves there is something Japanese in them.
I would like to point out,,,during WW2 the Kim Chees and Fuckeins did join the Nip Military,,,and the atrocities committed by the Nips were actually committed by the Kim Chees and Fuckeins,,,,and yet no one said anything about it? And why the mainstream media just blame the Nips..??
British ex-POW in Japanese camp 'disgusted' by guard demands for compensation

A former POW of the Japanese has expressed "disgust" at a campaign by a group of auxiliary troops from Korea and Taiwan who were convicted of war crimes to have their names cleared and to receive compensation.
Thousands of men from Japan's colonies served in the Imperial Japanese Army in the early decades of the last century, primarily in rear-echelon areas in roles such as guards at Japan's notoriously brutal POW camps.
After Japan's defeat, 321 of its colonial subjects were convicted by Allied military courts of class B and C war crimes, including mistreatment of prisoners. In total, 26 Taiwanese and 23 Koreans were subsequently executed.

A group of veterans set up a group named Doshinkai in 1955 to demand that the government apologise for forcing them to join the Japanese military and, as a consequence, being convicted of war crimes. The group is also seeking compensation for what they claim has been damage to their reputations.
Lee Hyok-rae, the 89-year-old chairman of the group, told a meeting in Tokyo recently that the Japanese government must apologise soon as time is running out for the veterans. Of the 70 original members of the group, only five are still alive.

"I want to ask that our honour be restored very soon," Lee said.
Lee complained that while former servicemen convicted of war crimes receive monthly pensions, non-Japanese nationals receive a smaller amount.
"It's a tough situation and it's continuing," Lee said. "I would like to ask for support."
But Arthur Lane, who was a bugler with the Manchester Regiment and captured at the fall of Singapore in February 1942, says the troops from Japan's colonies were the most vicious abusers of prisoners.

"The Japanese guards were bad, but the Koreans and the Formosans were the worst," he told The Telegraph from his home in Stockport.
"These were men who the Japanese looked down on as colonials, so they needed to show they were as good as the Japanese," he said. "And they had no-one else to take it out on other than us POWs."
Now 94, Lane was sent to work on the "Death Railway," which was designed to run from Thailand to the Indian border and to serve as the Japanese invasion route. An estimated 12,400 Allied POWs and some 90,000 Asian labourers died during the construction of the 258-mile track.
"After my capture, I witnessed many atrocities - murders, executions, beatings and instances of sadistic torture - and I was on the receiving end myself on a number of occasions," he said.
"I was also one of a handful of buglers in the camps and played my bugle at thousands of burials for the victims of the 'sons of heaven'," he added.
"That's why I have no sympathy for this group's claims," he added. "These men volunteered and they all knew exactly what they were doing. And they mistreated us because they wanted to please their masters and knew they could get away with it.
"They joined up for kicks, when Japan was winning the war, and they took advantage of that for their own enjoyment," Lane said.
"They won't get an apology or compensation from the Japanese government," he added. "I think a more fitting result would be to have then taken out and whipped for what they did to us."
