Jeff Kingston is Professor of Asian Studies and History at the Temple University's Japan Campus in Tokyo. He tells CGTN that Yasukuni Shrine and the Yushukan Museum serve to fuel an unrepentant view of Japan's wartime conduct. He says Yushukan's narrative of the Nanjing Massacre is a misrepresentation of history which ignores the testimonies of former Japanese soldiers present at the scene. Professor Kingston argues that the Japanese government's continued whitewashing of history is laying fertile ground for the revival of militarism.
