CCP killed mostly own people, with the aim of modernization.

No lah.
1959-1961 Great Leap Forward = Mao's failed communist economic policies indirectly killed millions through starvation = Mao lost power = became a political figurehead.
1966-76 Cultural Revolution = Mao's power grab by stirring the gullible masses into a Revolution against his political opponents like President Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping resulted in millions of "counter-revolutionaries" like professors and teachers being killed or committed suicide, eg by the Red Guards. .......

At that time, colonialism was widely practised by powerful nations to exploit weak nations's natural resources, eg spices ,tea, silk, tin, rubber, gold, silver, etc.. Japanese colonialists were only more ruthless than Western colonialists, esp since Kuomintang China resisted or fought back. The Malays in Malaya did not resist the Japanese during WW2 = the Malays were mostly left unscathed or unharmed........ WW2 was a war between the greedy colonialists = God's judgment or curse.
