In order to satisfy your wish, Japan has to exchange strategic stuff with your nation.

Japan left lots of valuable infrastructure in China.  Can't Japan counterbalance the
compensation with it?

How many years have you lived in Japan?

Japan isn't an honne and tatemae country?

What books do you read in Japanese?

Why you know that Japanese haven't read about it?  Are you God?

For your justification, first discuss the issue on Unit 731 with your Japanese bosses.
Fiercely as you do here, rant your assertion that your bosses are totally ignorant of their
own history.
And accuse your students of being 'baka' or 'aho' about Unit 731.
Surely you will not find your desk at your work place next day.
At your office as well as in here, do what you want to argue and to accuse, condemn or
whatever.

What books did you read?  Tell us what was Asahi Shimbun's attitude towards North Korea in
the 50s and 60s.  Tell us how the newspaper company played a propaganda role for NK.  Tell
us whether what they did was right.

Do you know anything about a broken out bank called 'NK bank'?

When I was discussing Unit 731, it was you who started talking about North Korea.  Your
attitude is totally inconsistent and your debate ability is pathetic.  You seem to have tons
of mental frustration produced by your daily activities in Fukuyama, don't you?  My advice
is Don't baby yourself.
