　　Q: Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary said Yoshihide Suga, 7th and internationalization of China's historical problems no benefit to regional peace and cooperation, should show the attitude of facing the future development of relations and cooperation. China have any comment on that?

Answer: the Japanese remarks demonstrated once again Japan policymakers cannot deal with its history of aggression. I would like to reiterate the following three points:

First, Japan's militaristic war of wars of aggression against China brought grave disaster to the Chinese people, the Chinese side held commemorations to remember the history and cherish the memory of martyrs, cherish peace, warning the future and safeguard world peace.

Second, earnestly address and reflect on its history of aggression and militarism drew is Japan and its Asian neighbors the important political foundation for development, is testing Japan's foreign policy orientation of the litmus test for the attention of the international community. Japan policymakers has significant lack of understanding of the history, show that the Japanese side on this issue really needs to make up, carefully listen to the just appeal of the international community.

Third, the premise for the future is to face up to history, to learn from history, rather than deliberately, weakened or even beautify its history of aggression. As the offender, Japan should make it clear what can be done to open the door to future-oriented.
