The recent documentary 'Fog of War' has a very moving scene about the percentage of cities that were destroyed and compares them in size to US cities. The people certainly suffered during the war. On the other hand, their leaders were generally not punished afterwards like in Germany. My vague memory is that a few heads rolled but their civil leader was left in place.
But you are absolutely right, they have never apologized for the terrible atrocities that they committed on the Chinese. This is an on-going problem. Each new administration there pays homage to their war criminals, China complains about it, and then they make a lame statement apologizing for the visit. Next year, they repeat it.
What I've heard is that the Japanese (even the people) still eye China greedily and still have plans to re-invade the mainland some day. Maybe someone with real knowledge of Japan could shed some light on this?
