China Demands that Japan Apologize for Historical Wrongs, Should China Apologize for Korean War Aggression as Well?

It will be interesting to see what terms the Japanese government agrees to, but I would love to see South Korea makes the same demands of the Chinese government to apologize for their aggression during the Korean War and continued division of the peninsula:

Beijing has reportedly demanded the government and ruling party of Japan include the words “colonialism,” “aggression” and apology” in the so-called “Abe statement,” set to be released next month.

The Japanese daily Sankei Shimbun reported on Tuesday that Chinese foreign ministry officials are trying to persuade Japanese officials regarding Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s planned statement marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

The newspaper said that Chinese officials are also demanding Tokyo inherit the apologetic Murayama statement that included the words “colonial rule,” “aggression,” “apology” and “remorse.”  [KBS World Radio]

When is Greece going to apologize to Persia for the war of aggression they waged in 331 BCE? What about reparations?

Just saw GI’s post and could not agree more. Its always a wonder. One thing is few photos exist, or they are very difficult to find, of PLA troops in Seoul or anywhere South of 38th, but they do exist. Also Korean schools seem to not mention it much if at all as most younger Koreans have no idea about the need to forcibly eject the PLA itself, not just NK troops, from Seoul. And the goal of China had they been victorious: of course no ROK. Seems pretty clear an apology is necessary when they tried to DPRK vassal-state the entire peninsula.
