Your comment above says a lot about you. Chinese are more emotional than
Japanese? More political than Japanese? Prefer exaggerations? It sure sounds
like you are into racist, bigoted, stereotypical statements.

Next you will be telling me the Japanese were "gentle" with the Chinese?

There is nothing the matter with his workplace per se, but it does show a
particular bias in his statements, a certain lack of freedom on his part to
be completely honest. If he had written an article pointing out that the
Japanese are not blameless in the matter, he could lose his job, or his
life. In the same way that Chinese historians are under outside pressures to
fit their work to particular ideologies, so are Japanese historians under
similar pressure.

Unfortunately, right wing assignations are not unheard of. Wasn't it within
a year or two that some right-wing fanatics tried to assassinate a liberal
politician?
