Q: It is reported that the late Japanese Emperor Hirohito during his final years still found it difficult to reconcile with his responsibility for the war. In 1980, Emperor Hirohito wanted to convey his regret over the war to visiting Chinese Premier Hua Guofeng but dropped the idea because of opposition from other senior officials. What is your comment?
A: Our position on that war of aggression against China waged by Japanese militarists is very clear and consistent.
We believe that the relevant people in Japan have demonstrated a correct attitude towards that war of aggression, which is a responsible one to have. We have been urging the Japanese government to face squarely and reflect upon its history of aggression, honor its statements and pledges made so far on the historical issue, and properly handle historical issues.
