Oh, Beijing must be rubbing their hands in glee, they can get a lot of mileage out of this.
Truth be told though, as nationalistic tensions flare in the Far East, little reminders like this are probably not a terrible idea, while Japan doesn't have an offensive military (at this moment in time) ingraining the brutality of the late Shówa period into the youth of Japan and South Korea might help prevent a temptation to glorify the 'old ways'.
