"Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe arrived in Hawaii Monday morning and laid a wreath at the National
Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. This year marks the 75th anniversary
of Japan's Pearl Harbor attack. According to Japanese rhetoric,

Japan glosses over China and other Asian countries in its historical
issues."
