China urges Japan to deeply reflect on history of aggression: spokesperson

BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- China urges Japan to face up to and deeply reflect on its history of aggression, and gain trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community with concrete actions, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a daily press briefing on Friday.

The September 18th Incident 95 years ago marked the start of Japan's 14-year invasion of China.

Denying the crime of aggression is to challenge historical conclusions and undermine the post-war international order, Guo said, stressing that all countries in the region, including China, must remain highly vigilant, not allow Japanese militarism to resurface, and not let historical tragedies repeat themselves.
