Rupert Wingfield-Hayes: China suffers memory lapses too

From the BBC:

The past month has seen an eruption of anti-Japanese protests in several Chinese cities. The protesters were angry at Japan’s approval of a nationalist textbook which they accuse of glossing over atrocities during the years when Japan occupied China. However Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says the Chinese also have a habit of forgetting awkward moments in their own history.
