Is Japan brainwashing kids?: China Daily appears to think so

According to China Daily, Japan is brainwashing kids by changing the texts in schools so the chinese Diaoyu islands are known as the japanese Senkaku islands.

Daily China also says that "The fact-twisting textbooks for schools will teach Japanese students a false version of history,which risks breeding generations of confrontation, says a Xinhua News Agency commentary" and that "Keeping Japan's younger generations, the future of the nation, ignorant of the truth of history shows the recklessness of the Abe administration and its willingness to gamble regional peacefor its own shameful aims."

As you would expect, there's nothing about such a thing in any japanese newspaper. I personally think this is not precisely because of a need to hide the truth but because it was a pointless argument to counter-attack. Even though the Senkaku (Diaoyu) islands conflict is still not solved and both countries have actually something to prove their sovereignity over this territory, this article is so poorly written and argumented that is a complete waste of time for any serious reporter to say something about it. This article shows more the unilateral, unchangable, point of view of the writer than a serious investigation been made about this "brainwashing", therefore it just makes no sense debating about it.
