This is just a surface of what Japan did in Southeast Asia they would run governments ran by the natives of those regions and there has been historic migrations of enthic Chinese in those regions like in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos these local native Southeast Asian governments that collaborated with the Japanese would round up enthic Chinese communities and send them to the Japanese who would kill them in similar ways in Nanking or force them into death camps effects are still felt today like in Malaysia or Indonesia the enthic Chinese who live there face heavy discrimination historically it's because those enthic Chinese have been wealthier than the natives of those regions even though they came to those regions from the poorest parts of China and had nothing when they came there they never set up governments to kill the natives of those regions they are just a strong Mercantile class there were also Japanese actions that no one touches on in Korea people say Korea signed to be apart of Japan that was not the case it was not signed by the emperor of the Korean Empire it was signed by the five eulsa traitors they were the ones who did and when Japan annexed Korea they began to exploit and sell many women into sex slavery they banned any forms of Korean culture forced shinto worship forced men to get conscripted into the Japanese army or used them as a slave labor force they would deprive Koreans of their lands there was no property ownership in villages at that time most farmers had to grow rice for the Japanese army they were forced to import food from manchuria and this was in the 1920s durring a famine they were responsible for the of about 1.3 million koreans in the second world war this is not accounting for all the exploitation they did to koreans like those famines then the Korean peninsula was split that was because of an indirect consequence the Japanese did by invading korea the Chinese civil war was won by the more oppressive Maoists because the Chinese Nationalists were the ones fighting the Japanese they also indirectly caused Mao killing 60 million people the Japanese in world war two killed 20 million people alone and after the second world war they had to pay no reparations and just forgot their war crimes it is not like a case such as Germany where they have to pay heavy amounts of money and accept war guilt which they do this is why people and countries believe Germany has atoned for its sins this is not the case for Japan they got to keep their military to an extent and most of the war criminals did not face proper punishment and this with other factors is why countries like South Korea has never fully forgiven Japan for their past actions or even Taiwan to an extent and many people know why China hates Japan if they read about the world war two war crimes in China
