Abstract
Japan’s ongoing revision of its wartime history, particularly through its school textbooks, continues to be a major source of diplomatic friction in East Asia, intertwining issues of national identity and collective memory. The intensification of these disputes in 2002 and 2005 marked significant turning points in Sino-Japanese and Korea-Japanese relations. This paper delves into the official and grassroots responses from both China and South Korea, shedding light on the different characteristics exhibited by each country’s approach to manage disputes, as well as the relationship between government-led diplomatic maneuvers and popular nationalist movements. Through a constructivist lens, the analysis reveals how these countries not only react to historical controversies but also play an active role in shaping regional narratives and international perceptions. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the nuanced dynamics between official state responses and grassroots movements in China and South Korea as strategic efforts to shape national identity, public sentiment, and international legitimacy.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
