I would imagine that Chinese students study Japanese imperialism a lot more than a far away war they didn't materially participate in. But I don't know for sure. In America we study both because the US was involved in both theaters.
- uranusjr 8y agoUnfortunately the Imperial Japanese history has been heavily used as a propaganda instrument. Students don’t have much chance to learn the “real” history. What little taught also subjects to double standards, e.g. the Japanese were evil to propose the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, but China projecting power to the South Sea is totally fine and can never go wrong.

- yorwba 8y agoAs a German, I was surprised to find out that my Chinese friends learned a lot of German history in school. Not just about the Third Reich, but also 19th-century historical figures like Marx (obviously due to his ideological importance) and Bismarck, the Weimar Republic and some things I don't recall right now. It's certainly more than I was taught about China in turn. I don't think even the German colonial presence in Qingdao was ever mentioned.
