BEIJING, April 5 - Japan's official adoption of a new edition of history
textbooks Tuesday immediately came under fire in China, which, with a
bitter memory of the wartime atrocities of invading Japanese troops, has
always kept a watchful eye on its unrepentant neighbor.
Qiao Zonghuai, a senior official from the Foreign Ministry, summoned
Japanese ambassador to China Koreshige Anami here Tuesday afternoon,
lodging a solemn representation over Japanese government's approval of
the history textbook denying historical facts and beautifying invasion.
The Tuesday adoption of the new textbooks could also further fuel a
spontaneous campaign by the Chinese public to block Japan's seeking of a
permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council.
"As long as both sides can follow the principle of 'taking history as a
mirror and looking forward into the future', Sino-Japanese relations
still enjoy fairly bright prospects," said a diplomatic observer in
Beijing.
