    旭日旗

    Those who feel that Japan should abandon kyokujitsuki had better demand the corporate flag of a certain pro-communist newspaper publisher to be abandoned first.
    They are the only Japanese media praising Cultural Revolution, and kept the Beijing office open during 1960-70s.

    btw did IJN ever have a battle against any fleet of an Asian country during WWII.
