The Australians treated the Japanese well in POW camps and gave them better food and water than the Japanese gave them, better shelter, medical attention, clothing and cigarettes.
They treated the US soldiers terribly.
Their belief systems were breeded into them from the time they were young. Brutality and cruelty was nothing new to the Germans. They did the same thing in World War 1. The Japanese had it taught to them from the time they were young too. The Japanese have a strong honor code (which does not have our ideas of honor) they followed. Their code compelled them to treat people badly. Trust me, the USA did do their own method of re-training their ideals, values and honor systems.
they were treated like dogs
After the surrender of Japanese forces in World War II, the local populations of occupied countries often treated them with hostility and resentment. Many viewed the Japanese troops as oppressors due to their brutal occupation policies, which included violence and exploitation. As the Japanese retreated, some locals sought revenge or participated in acts of retribution, while others were more pragmatic, focusing on survival and rebuilding their communities. The reaction varied significantly depending on the specific country and local circumstances.
first answer: During World War II (and also prior to it), the Japanese treatment of the Chinese may be described as demeaning and otherwise oppressive. With the intent to subjugate China for the sake of their own profit and expanded prestige, the Japanese saw China as a Japanese resource and, even further, saw the Chinese as an inferior people that, in some keen sense, deserved to be used for Japanese purposes. second expanded answer: Japanese treatment of the Chinese people during WW2 & before (since the 1930's) was far worse than demeaning or oppressive. For millions it was slavery, murder, looting, starvation, and other forms of brutal physical violence.

They treated them very well
Lord Akiyama did not treat his prisoners very well. He fed them and things but didn't love them in that sense
not nice

japanese people treat thier elders with a to of respect!
If they want to? Yes, just like anyone else.
With absolute disregard for any form of human decency. What happened to the prisoners in the German death camps was mild compared to what the Japanese did before and during ww2. The only reason they were not held to account was that they made a deal with the USA to give them the results of experiments carried out on their victims.
The prison was a horrible way to treat Confederate prisoners.
the social context
Imperial Japan was a viciously racist state based on the belief that the Japanese were superior to all other types of people (much as the German Nazis proclaimed themselves to be the Master Race) and they attempted to prove their superiority by killing and abusing members of other ethnic groups.
