BEIJING, 23 April, 2021 (TON): On Wednesday, the Chinese foreign ministry called on Japan to reflect upon its history of aggression and take practical steps to win trust from neighboring countries.
Spokesperson of the ministry Wang Wenbin said, "China urges Japan to hold fast to the principles established in the four political documents between China and Japan, as well as the four-point principled agreement, and face up to and earnestly reflect upon its history of aggression."
Wang's remarks came after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga sent a ritual offering on Wednesday to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, seen as a symbol of Japan's past militarism, on the occasion of its spring festival.
Wang said China firmly opposes the wrong practices of Japanese politicians.
However, he urged Japan to make a clear break with militarism and take practical actions to win trust from the global community especially its Asian neighbors.
