In my book On Harmonious Diplomacy, the author expounds Sino-Japanese relations and puts forward his own views on how to establish harmonious Sino-Japanese relations. In fact, the current relationship between China and Japan is obvious, that is, the problems left over from history have not been reasonably solved. China (the government) has always been too tolerant of Japan (too weak in Japan's view), and Japan has always been intransigent, pushing its luck and refusing to plead guilty. Although there are many factors at work here, China's unprincipled tolerance and generosity are objectively not conducive to Japanese deep reflection and repentance. The more China gives in, the more it suffers. The more arrogant the Japanese are, the more unreasonable it is China. Therefore, I think we must seek justice for Japan and establish an image of a fair and reasonable solution to the problem on the international stage. What kind of responsibility should Japan bear? We victims can't sympathize with the injurer instead and exempt the injurer from responsibility-this is ridiculous from any angle. Abandoning the war claim against Japan does not seem to achieve the goal of "friendship between the Chinese and Japanese people for generations", but it has laid a hidden danger of conflict for Sino-Japanese relations. Facts show that the traditional "virtue" of kowtowing to Japan and complaining with virtue is useless at all, and the correct method can only be "direct complaint"-that is, how to deal with it with justice as the standard. We often say that Japanese militarism is responsible for the war, and the Japanese people, like the people of China, are victims of Japanese militarism. In an abstract sense, this is completely correct. But what about the details? Who is Japanese militarism? Can you find a person named "Japanese militarism" in Japan? It's impossible. In the end, no one is responsible for the war. For Japanese war criminals, those who should be shot will be shot, and those who should go to jail will go to jail; For Japan, compensation will be paid. Being friendly is one thing, being responsible is another. There is no reason to be irresponsible for friendship. On the contrary, if Japan is not even responsible for the war, it is not friendly at all! Some people say that "Sino-Japanese friendship" is just a delaying tactic of China, aiming at gaining time for peaceful development and preparing for "revenge" against Japan in the future. I don't know if this is true, but I'd rather believe it's not true, because it's naive, hypocritical and unreliable! Sino-Japanese friendship should be our real wish. Therefore, I think that "giving up war reparations against Japan for the sake of friendship between China and Japan for generations" should be the correct goal and the wrong means or way. Regarding the Japanese loan to China, if it has played a role in the construction of China, we should be grateful, but we can only talk about it as it is, not far-fetched. A loan is a loan and an indemnity is an indemnity. Don't confuse them. In addition, it is said that Japanese loans to China are conditional. The author believes that economic exchanges and cooperation in other fields should continue and be carried out on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, but we should not forget Japan's historical responsibility because of exchanges and cooperation, because these are two different things and should not be confused. Sino-Japanese friendship must be based on equality and justice. If we do not insist on fairness and justice on historical issues, then any boasting and whitewashing of Sino-Japanese friendship will be futile, and wishful "Sino-Japanese friendship" will only burst like a bubble. To correctly handle Sino-Japanese relations, I think we should adhere to the three principles of Sino-Japanese relations, namely, seeking truth from facts, fairness and reasonableness, and seeking peace.
