Japan cries "uncle" but will China?

Repeating what's been said before, Japanese PM Koizumi apologized for Japanese aggression during their colonial regime and WWII. Let's see if that is enough red meat for the hyper-nationalists in China who have a memory lapse of their own. Let's see, the Long March, Tibet, Pol Pot, Cultural Revolution, Vietnamese Invasion of '79, Tiananmen Square, Myanmar government... No doubt we can expect an apology both to its own people not to mention other countries that have suffered under this regime.

It reminds me of my visit to Vietnam when the issue of the "American War" was raised. I never once heard any hostility directed at me or the US (not saying it doesn't exist) and people from one end of the country to the other loved the US and were very friendly. One person said it best when they said "we won the war and the US left, but China has been attacking us for 1,000 years." The Vietnamese I spoke with were verbally hostile to China because of their long history.
