Chinese government complain Japan's past action for the sake of diplomatic strifes that stemmed from the first Sino-Japanese war (1895). This is not much of the human rights issues in the past against the Japanese government.
Besides, the only thing in China that has the option to become anti-Japanese is the Chinese government... not the general Chinese people.
Japan's colonization of Korea itself meant "China, we're gonna get you." even before Japan declared the puppet government in Manchuria and WWII.
But you know what I find ironic? Japan's PM paid "a passive homage" to the Yasukuni Shrine and Beijing doesn't have any problems with the PM visiting China recently.
It's because the very fabric of Japanese politics has changed very significantly. I see a great Sino-Japanese cooperation in the future because of Japan's unique situation that is having.
And anyway, China's human rights is improving slowly and steadily. Of course the Western world is treating China like a First World country, despite that it is only a Second World country.
I hope the Western world would treat China with utmost dignity so the Chinese government wouldn't have any of the anti-Western mood swings that are getting bigger.
