Toshio Motoya [Photo scrolled by CNTV] Tokyo-based hotel and real estate developer APA Group has once again come under fire over a historically inaccurate book by the group's CEO, Toshio Motoya. At the launch of the new book on June 2, Motoya said he would not remove copies of the book from his hotels during the Tokyo Olympics. In the book, titled The Real History of Japan: Japan Pride, Motoya says the so-called Nanjing Massacre story is fabricated, and blames looting and killings in the city on soldiers with the Chinese army, the Japan Times reported on June 3. A copy of the book is placed in every room at the company's APA Hotels.

In the book, Motoya says Japan must grow strong without staining its reputation, which is why he denies the occurrence of the Nanjing Massacre and the forced recruitment of comfort women. He also expresses strong concern about the situation in the East China Sea and South China Sea, emphasizing that only a Japan-US alliance can confront China. 24hr wristbandaa wristbandsbracelet maker onlinecustom rubber band braceletscustom printed wristbandsadjustable wristbandscustom wrist sweatbandsrubber arm bands
