Ministry will 鈥榳ait and see鈥 to judge Japan鈥檚 sincerity
Print Edition
CHINA’S foreign ministry said yesterday it would “wait and see” how sincere Japan was after South Korea and Japan’s agreement on the issue of “comfort women,” an issue that has also plagued ties between China and Japan.
Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Japan’s history of militarism and aggression had brought deep suffering to China and other Asian countries.
“We have always consistently asked Japan to accurately face up to its history of aggression, learn the lessons of history and take concrete actions to win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community,” Lu told reporters.
Chinese academics estimate about 200,000 Chinese women were forced to work as “comfort women.”
Lu said China again urged Japan to face up to its history of aggression and deal with the issue responsibly.
Asked whether China believed Japan was sincere in resolving the issue, Lu said the government would be watching.
“Just like you, as for whether Japan can do it, if its words and actions are consistent from start to finish, we will wait and see.”
Chinese ties with Japan have long been troubled by a territorial dispute and Japan’s failure to properly atone for wartime atrocities.
