Hong Kong converts defense museum to focus on anti-Japan resistance

HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's government on Tuesday inaugurated a revamped colonial-era coastal defense museum with a sharper focus on wartime anti-Japanese resistance, coinciding with the annual commemoration of Imperial Japan's defeat 79 years ago.

Although Hong Kong's experience with World War II-era Japanese aggression differed from that of mainland China, the city's government is increasingly aligning itself with Beijing and its view of history.
