Pascal Lottaz, associate professor at Kyoto University in Japan, and Joanna Lei, former Kuomintang legislator, discuss Japan's WWII memory in an interview with "Neutrality Studies." They note Japan highlights its own bombings while downplaying its military's crimes. Lei adds that younger generations who support politicians such as Sanae Takaichi have no direct memory of the war, and that decades of postwar U.S. security protection have insulated both society and government from fully confronting issues of responsibility and accountability.
