It has yet to apologise for dragging its feet for the past 60 years. Do they hope for the WMD to leak and kill more people? Meanwhile, the USA has already built the US$2 Billion worth biological weapon destruction plant in East Russia in one year, bravo! The Japanese government must build the same plant with US technology to decommission all the WMD in China with immediate effect.<br>The Japanese government has yet to pay back the poll tax of ~RM500 million collected from Malaysian Chinese during the second world war. The Malaysian Chinese community has yet to receive a response from the Japanese government after campaigning for the past 40 years.<br>It is so very important the US government apologises now, as it will ensure many other recalcitrant evil deeds world wide can be redressed quickly. Come on Obama, you can! For a real progressive democracy based on fundamental principles and ethics, US must apologise for its past wrong doings.

“Even today, although all its constituent sections have long been repealed, Chapter 7 of Title 8 of the United States Code is headed, “Exclusion of Chinese.”[10] It is the only chapter of the 15 chapters in Title 8 (Aliens and Nationality) that is completely focused on a specific nationality or ethnic group.”
