AudioVideo Monday, 9 April, 2001, 14:36 GMT 15:36 UK Japan and South Korea's troubled relations South Koreans say Japanese books gloss over the war By Japan analyst David Powers Arguments between Japan and its neighbours - particularly South Korea and China - about the way Japanese schoolchildren are taught about World War II and Japan's colonial domination of East Asia are a depressingly regular occurrence. The problem is twofold - it lies in the Japanese textbook approval system, and in the fact that Japan has never said 'sorry' in a way acceptable to countries that suffered wartime atrocities. There is a deep-seated resentment against Japan in the Korean national consciousness All textbooks - not just history ones - have to go through a rigorous government screening in Japan. But it is the history books that always cause the problem - and not just with neighbouring countries. A Japanese left-wing professor, Saburo Ienaga, waged a 30-year battle through the courts against the government in protest at the way the screening process distorts what children are taught about their country's past. Professor Ienaga's case went all the way to the Supreme Court, but was eventually thrown out. Nevertheless, the prime minister of the time promised that the feelings of neighbouring countries would be taken into account in all future schoolbooks.
