Take the following as truth: Asahi Shimbun added that if Japan had tried to resolve these problems a little at a time, those who felt themselves victimized by Japan might have felt at least somewhat mollified; but that with the passing of time while we do nothing, however, discontent and ill will can coalesce into bitter enmity.
Then the following statement: "Japan refused to acknowledge the concerns of the people." is true, false, or inconclusive?
