One of the biggest failures by Japan, and a really stupid failure, IMO,
has been Japan's refusal to take responsibility for its bad behavior in WW2,
and apologize to the nations and people they wronged.
Japan should apologize to China.
Japan should apologize to Korea, especially to the Korean comfort women who were abused.
Japan should apologize to UK, US, and Australia for the horrible treatment of their POW's.
If Japan finds the wisdom and humility to do this,
respect and admiration for Japan would soar around the world.
Korea, especially, would find it easier to ally with Japan against China.
But, Japan won't do it.
Those who are too focused on "saving face"
lack the understanding that humility and taking responsibility
builds trust, and goodwill.

@christopherhamlin6139 Yes, I do.
And, if the US did that, like I said about Japan, I think it would go a long way to repairing our relations with the people and nations of the region.
Personally, I have found that when I screwed up and hurt people, that apologizing was a good thing to do.
When you recognize your own screw up, and admit you were wrong, I have found most people to be quite forgiving.
So, when nations do that, I think they should do the same. Does that sound right to you?
