Japanese PM Abe 'vows' to face up to history
According to a report in the China Radio International, Japan's prime minister Shinzo Abe has vowed, on the eve of his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiaobao's official visit to Japan, to "face up" to history. This year marks not only the 35th anniversary of the normalisation of Sino-Japanese relations but also 70th anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge 'Incident' and onset of the Nanjing Massacre.
Reflecting on the relations between China and Japan, the first premier and foreign minister of New China Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) once remarked that Sino-Japanese relationship had been defined by 3,000 years of civilisational exchanges and only 50 years of conflicts. The 50 years of conflicts evidently refer to the period between the 1894-1895 First Sino-Japanese War which ended with Imperial Japan occupying and colonising Taiwan and the 1945 defeat of Imperial Japan by the Allies, which included China and the United States.
