The Japanese are calling it the Nanking "incident" where only 20-40k Chinese were killed.........big discrepancy and the Chinese are outraged. Fine, but this is the type of detail that should be in the news. I've seen spots on this situation for 3 weeks, and the "Chinese" side's demands are not really made clear. It's not that hard for a news station to say "This is exactly what the textbook says blah, blah, blah", and this is what the Chinese think it should say "blah blah blah". And then its odd that the Japanese don't provide some explanation (which makes sense to me) along the lines of "we don't think it is good to educate our 7 year olds that Japan raped and murdered 30 million Chinese from 1930 to 1945. We'll teach them that when they are 16." Or something like that. The story "The Chinese are upset about a textbook which glosses over wartime atrocities" should be a headline, not the complete story. I have this complaint about TV news a lot of the time. They often make zero effort to provide any detail beyond the obvious.
