The generation of Asians who suffered at the hands of the Japanese are mostly gone. I would guess that the current generation has little or no knowledge of the barbarity of the so called “ Co Prosperity Sphere.”
I think if you let Japan lose on Asia, they would do it again. They are like the british of Asia. British are lions. THe Japanese are tigers.
China and japan have never gotten along. Plus, Japan needs resources. The koreans don't trust them either.
The OP would have served their interests better with a dissertation on how man US military grave stones are buried on their soil. Let's not forget why most of Asia dislikes Japan's actions against various countries during WWII.
It's really amazing. Over 17,000 American graves, gleaming marble, it's visible from quite a distance, this is in the capital of Manila, you have massive apartments in view of this sight, maybe in view of the OP sitting in his apartment posting crap on the internet. I don't know if it's encouraging or disappointing that the OP is as ignorant of history as American youth.
And Asia of course is still distrusting of Japan, as they should be since Japan is still slow and reluctant to apologize. I talked to Singaporeans who's grandparents remember the brutal Japanese occupation. They remember.

1 Million Filipinos died in the Philippine-American War, do they magically come alive after America saved the Philippines in World War 2?

Let me ask you - do the Americans who died in the Philippines in WW2 magically dissapear because of what happened 120 years ago?
250,000 to 1 million died due to famine and disease, mostly cholera, that occurred during this period of strife with Spain and then the U.S . This was 4 decades before WW2. Ironically the U.S. later eliminated many of these tropical diseases plaguing the Philippines.
Those Americans in the grave your overlooking didn't die from disease. Filipinos killed by Japanese likewise didn't die from disease. Keep your focus.
By the way your use of a racial epitaph in a previous post will be reported.

Americans still violently invaded the Philippines, I personally forgive Americans who today have no hand in the invasions of their ancestors but I cannot forgive the concept of an Imperialist America which killed many Filipinos.

You're still here?
That would be factually incorrect, America did not "violently invade Philippines".
America was at war with Spain. There were some naval battles in the Manila Bay against Spain. Then it was later simply occupied months later without much opposition from Spain, then later ceded to us from Spain in exchange also for $20m.
The "imperialistic americans" promised Philippines independence in 1935 (actually, it was much earlier), and kept it's promise after peaceful transition (by the way, you owe us $20million).
I am still confused by the way on your lack of outrage against the Spanish or the Japanese (or the British, Or Bruni, or the many other countries that occupied and faught your Islands). I am also shocked at your lack of Philippines history if you are from that country.

But you personally forgive king phillip of spain and his conquistadors for cultural genocide and imperialism. White savior servile inferiority complex! To this day, the pinoy likes to say how much european blood he has. Lapu lapu would be turning in his grave. The pinoy forgot the greatness of the pagan Rajahnate of Tondo and cebu. You have forgotten the ways of garuda and think the foreign idealogy of the roman psy is better. How can the pinoy be respected when he does not respect his past, his food his bland with no coconut curry, and he has no culture? You don't even respect eskrima. You don't deserve a balisong!
Duerte should fulfill his promise to rename the phillipines to Maharlika to break off the shame of White savior servile inferiority complex.

You are factually incorrect, here's the Official Atlas of Philippine History, America at the beginning of the war only exercised sovereignty over Manila which they fought from the Spanish, the rest of the country was under the First Philippine Republic's control and America had to wage many bloody battles of conquest. The Spanish sold you a country already under Philippine Sovereignty which your ancestors had to wage a bloody war of conquest over.

I am not incorrect and your link does nothing to support that. It was an insurrection, just like the dozens of insurrections you had under Spanish rule.
They had no sovereignty. Heck you can start "The Second Philippines Republic" in your basement if you want. Doesn't make Duterte an "invader" when his police bust down your door.
Again why are you so focused on that when there have been insurrections, occupations, massacres all through Philipinnes history? You don't seem concerned one iota about Japan occupation in wwII. If you just hate America, just say it. Maybe a yank stole your woman?
Oh and by the way, I forgot to correct $20 million for inflation (for our payment for your country to Spain), in today's dollars that is $600 million.
$600 million please.

It was not an insurrection it was war of independence the whole country ratified a constitution and had an elected assembly, that's hardly an insurrection. More an unrecognized state, like Taiwan which obviously has sovereignty but isn't recognized. On the ground there was DE FACTO sovereignty of Filipinos although the fat pigs in Paris and Washington was debating on wether there was DE JURE sovereignty of the Philippine republic, but unfortunately for you it wasn't an insurection because insurections are rebellions against established authority, it was an outright invasion because Americans didn't even practice governance over the Philippines before, anyway you frame it, it was invasion not an insurrection.
