The Chinese and Korean governments really callously continue to maintain anti-Japanese hatred and are sure that they never let it die down.

It really doesn't matter how often the Japanese apologize or pay reparations. It is simply too useful to continue to maintain an actively hated nearby enemy.

I will add though, that on the individual level, when people meet face to face, I think there is much, much less hatred than one might expect from what is seen and felt on the internet.
