Ice between China, Japan can only be melted by sincere dialogue (2)

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama apologized for Japan's wartime crimes in China during his recent visit to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing.

Moreover, Yohei Kono, a retired Japanese liberal politician and three-time foreign minister, criticized former premier Yoshihiko Noda for the island purchase.

The earnest attitudes like these to face the problems existing between the two countries are indispensable to the solution to the conflicts between China and Japan.

As two of the most important powers in Asia, a healthy Sino-Japan relationship is in all sides' favor, and would do good for regional peace and prosperity.

A retrospective of the Sino-Japan relationship shows that when there is peace between the two countries, both benefit and when there is conflict, both suffer.

China has consistently pushed to solve the territorial disputes through dialogue and consultation. Although the ice between China and Japan is thick, it can be melted by sincere dialogue.
