I have been living for 3 years in Japan, never, I say NEVER I have heard anyone telling me chinese this or that.
Nobody can say the opposite.
So, I can say, Japan is looking at not being contained.
WHat bothers you with this sentence?
It is well known that CHina has that purpose to be leader of Eastern Asia, as it used to be in the old days.
The ying, the yang, and the time is turning, will be back in favor of the great empire of the middle, and the other resting outside, quietly, serving the middle.

Chinese people hate Japan because their government didn't do the same thing as German did to their victims.
I didn't live in Japan as long as you. But I visited Japan for many times and speak Japanese. Have you ever visited Yasukuni shrine around 8/15? Do you like what you see there? If Germany set up a similar place in Berlin to honor Hitler and German war criminals, How would you think about the responses from Nazi's victim as well as your country people in France?
Did you see those WWII Japanese army costumed parade? Do you want to see WWII Nazi's SS costumed parade?

Lived in Japan for 3 years, I am sure that you saw those Japanese Right-wing trucks running around the cities. Do you like to see those Right-wing trucks?
As a Defense Professionals, you better do more research if you want make comments on this topic.
As early as in the day that Japan announced their surrender in 1945, Chiang Kai-shek had made a speech to Chinese people that we Chinese don't pursue revenge toward ordinary Japanese people. Over a million Japanese military and civilian personals were sent back to Japan without being put into labor camp. Those who were captured by Soviet red army were sent to labor camps. Lot of them died in Siberia.
In 1970s, Japanese secretly put WWII class A war criminals into Yasukuni shrine. In 1980s, they told the world that they did that.
Koizumi insisted to make official visit to Yasukuni shrine, China was against that and cancelled all the top rank meetings with Japan. When Abe took office and showed good wills to improve the relation, China immediately responded and invited him to visit Beijing. Sino-Japan relation was improving better than the Koizumi era. Now, Mr. Fukuda further expressed good wills to improve relation, China again responded positively. This year, there are official celebrations in China and Japan on establishing diplomatic relations for 35 years. Chinese government will invite ~30,000 Japanese to visit China and Japanese government will invite ~20,000 Chinese to visit Japan for the celebration activities.
If both sides have the good wills, we can live peacefully with each other. Eventually, the hostility between China and Japan will and should fade out as time goes on.
But when the direct victims of the Japanese army were still alive and still not get compensated and when those disgusting images from Yasukuni shrine still show up each year, we can't totally forgive them.
