12/25 was anniversary for the fall of HongKong to Japan's forces during the world war II and orgies of murders and rapes by the same forces. The next day Mr Abe visited the shrine dedicated to the Japanese soldiers including class A,B,C,D war criminals. He followed it with some cute remarks about his love of peace and the souls of the fallen resting in peace.
This from a man that denies South Korean comfort women's forced sex-slavery and Japanese aggression and murder of 20 million Chinese. New York Times came up with an editorial calling for China and South Korea to talk to Mr Abe.
The Japanese is a courteous, meek and graceful people. Until the moment they found a cute pretext to stab you in the heart. Then they say "I feel deeply sorry... Actually not so sorry at all... But we love peace... Don't think that thing happened.... " Ad nauseum.
Talking to Mr Abe and his right wing constituents? I simply can't think of a worse waste of time. The Japanese elected this right wing leader with full knowledge of his inclinations and principles, if they think they will reap peace and prosperity, then they are as delusional as 80 years ago.

I can't agree more. Whose idea it was to pivot (to contain China) to Asia anyhow?
Generations of Americans reaching out to China to help three times, for which the
Chinese are incredibly grateful.
This goodwill is a lasting foundation for future peace, let's not fritter it away.
