It's not a question of guts....unlike uncivilized our neighbours - being barking dogs.
As far as I know, it has been moving ahead. Japan already concluded EPA (more than FTA) with Thai, Indonesia, India, Singapore, maybe Vietnam. Regarding the rest of the countries, it will depend on negotiation, I think.
But of course NO POLITICS.
Well, I admit the description "lack of guts" was a bit unpatriotic. However, it is true that political action has been neglected by Japan ever since their statesmen decided to stick to Yoshida Doctrine and devoted to maximizing economic gains.
Anyway, we can extend the effort Astroboy mentioned to China and Korea and establish a regional economic bloc!
See, different versions of history are believed in different nations. Americans will flatly object to such a claim. Japanese do not have guts to challenge China and Korea because they are afraid of the damage to their economy.

He enlightened me a lot, because he clearly mentioned that the Chinese government as well as its people positively recognize what Japan did to their country after the both parties normalized diplomatic relations.
Just ask British posters here about a bit different point of views on the (US) War of Independence in their history textbook. I've never heard of any claims, "WE SHOULD TEACH BRITONS A LESSON". Why don't you object to the views? Americans also have the same view, different historical interpretation in different nations.
Anyways, this thread is about Asia.
Fortunately, the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, addressed his great speech in his last visit to Japan. And his great speech was aired in China as well.

Interestingly, there seems to be a slight change in nuances between the Japanese summary and the Chinese speech.
...
About the military stuff, it is you who distorted the sentences, or Japan-China relations after 1972.the policy of not possessing military forces.
I understand not all Chinese people would agree with his speech or renouncing the war reparation.
We keep thinking of Japan's relations with Asian nations as if Japan is not part of Asia. It is, and should be more actively involved in regional affairs. Too many Japanese still feel more comfortable in Western countries than in Asia. I know that is changing but we need better relations with our neighbors, not just with countries
Maybe they remembered the times when China was colonized by UK, France, German (and Japan) some 100 years ago.
China was carved-up as ' sphere of influence ' not colonization.
Actually,it was Japan officially colonized by America & other Western powers between 1945-1952,as was colonization of Korea peninsula by Japan Empire.
True. Japanese were lucky that it was Americans who occupied the islands. Little suffering arose out of the occupation. It would have been an extremely traumatic experience, had the Soviet Union occupied the country.LOL. This is useless discussion. But it is obvious that Chinese are still mentally wounded by their modern history - colonized & enslaved.
LOL. colonized & enslaved.

The problem is ..... Chinese are quite embarrased even today as they are still regarded as inhuman by rest of the world, while they are the people of great pride....
I am somewhat sympathetic to Chinese, but unavoidable as their presence/influence becomes much bigger.
It would have been an extremely traumatic experience, had the Soviet Union occupied the country.
Japan was the one-and-only NE Asia naton ever wholely colonized by Western powers,and also Japanese were owned as slaves by the Portuguese.
That is all because of what happened in the territories occupied by Russians after Aug. 9th. What happened to Japanese prisoners of war in the Soviet Union after the war was awful. So were hardships experienced by Japanese people who were in Manchuria after the invasion by Russia.why?
I think you dont know about battles against Russia in Northern territories
after Aug 15th

it has nothing to do with Soviet Union's rule in Japan
It would have been an extremely traumatic experience, had the Soviet Union occupied the country.

most japanese have been an extremely traumatic experience by US soldier
Do you know why Stalin gave up to land hokkaido?

I don't think so.
After Meiji Revolution, Japan continued to fight Bigger Enemies.
Japan-Sino War
Japan-Russo War
Japan-ABCD (America, Briton, China and Dutch) War.
Unfortunately, Japan was defeated at the last war, but it is also true that the country did its best against ten-times bigger enemy - USA.
