as far as i know japan still hasn't gotten those resources and land that it desperately fought for in WW2, i'm sure that's still on teh agenda. While I don't see them going full out on China again, why tempt them?
ps, revisionist history is

, at least the germans owned up to it and made laws against it... the Japanese are still printing some textbooks that distance themselves from their WW2 atrocities in the South-East Asian Sphere of Co-Prosperity... and the worst part is their kids are reading it.
