How Japan’s ‘BBC’ is rewriting its role in the Second World WarNaoki Hyakuta says Japan was lured into the Second World War by America while liberating Asia from white colonialism.He denies war crimes such as the 1937 Nanjing massacre, when Japanese troops killed thousands of Chinese civilians. Such views are common among revisionists in Japan. Mr Hyakuta, however, sits on the board of the nation’s public service broadcaster.NHK has annual revenue of more than $6bn (£3.7bn), putting it close to the BBC. Like the British broadcaster, it is obliged to be impartial and aloof from the political fray.
