[edit] Changs Book
The article states that Changs book was withdrawn because of contorversy here:
Books such as Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking generated enough controversy to be withdrawn from planned publication,
Is there a source on this? I heard that Chang got angry and pulled the deal when Japanese liberals (people in support of the Nanking Massacre) tried to fix some of the many errors in her book. It wasnt allowed and the book deal fell through.
[edit] invalid sources and anti-Japan education
We can not trust sources from South(and North) Korea. Why? You'll see if you read a histry book published in Korea. I've read a histry book used in Korean school.
Korean history books claim: 1. Korea has a 5000 yeas of history (longer than the history of China! wow). 2. Hangul has been used for centuries but, it's been banned by Japanese government. (Not true. The use of Hangul was banned by Korean King. Yangban strongly opposed the use of Hangul. Hanja had been officially used in Korea. Hangul became popular after 1910.) 3. Japan took away everything Korea had. (Not true. Japanese goverment built 5000 schools throughout Korea and taught Hangul. Japanese built rail roads, factories, hospitals, and a dam etc. Japan introduced modern medicine. The Korean population tripled in 36 years. etc etc) 4. Korea had been independent until 1910. (Not true. She gained independence after Treaty_of_Shimonoseki and built Independence_Gate) 5. Korea declared a war against Japan and Korean army faught against Japan and won the independence from Japan with some help of the atomic bombs. (Not true. There are no recod of any Korean army.. except a few soldiers who worked as an translator with US army) and list goes on and on...
Now, Korean people insists all the history taught in the US, China, Japan, and Russia are all wrong. [쿠키뉴스 2006-08-08 18:07] (Korean news article) http://news.naver.com/news/read.php?mode=LSD&office_id=143&article_id=0000035259
And finally, the Korean goverment is now teaching students to hate Japanese. http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_view.asp?menu=A11100&no=294782&rel_no=1

[edit] Okinotorishima
removed the see also Okinotorishima link as it is a land dispute not anti-japanese sentiment — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.226.244 (talk) 18:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- I have reverted your edits that you have done without proper community discussion which are controversial. You will need to gain community consensus first. Your edits consisted of mass blankings, cherry-picked POV removals as per WP:IDONTLIKEIT, and the copypasting of a separate page. A WP:DUCK test suggests that you might be attempting to whitewash the article. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 01:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Skewed approach
I wont' go so far as to say this is POV, but the article puts way too much emphasis on Anti-Japanese sentiment from World War II America. While the stat box toward the top of the article is the *current* anti-Japanese sentiment, the bulk of the article focuses on one country's anti-Japanese sentiment from a 10 year (or so) period from 70 years ago. For instance, every image in the entire article except one is of World War II propaganda posters. Meanwhile the massive anti-Japanese sentiment still present in modern-day China is largely glossed over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sephalon1 (talk • contribs) 06:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
- A good point. The main problem I see is that the US section is too long. As shown at the beginning of that section (and, in fact, the other sections), we have separate articles on individual countries. The thing would be to cut the US section down to a single paragraph; all of the other details belong in Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States. Feel free to be bold and start making the cuts; just to be safe, you'll want to check the other article to make sure that anything you cut here is already there.
