Thursday June 14, 5:46 PMChina says Japan protest at China war museums shows lack of courage(Kyodo) _ Demands by Japanese lawmakers that China remove anti-Japanese photos from Chinese war museums show their lack of courage to recognize Japan's past wrongdoings, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday."The war of invasion triggered by Japanese militarism brought about great disaster to the Chinese people," Qin Gang said at a regular news conference. "Keeping memory of that period of history is not meant to maintain bad feelings, but to prevent a repetition of tragedy." Demands to pull pictures from museums "only reflect the lack of courage to recognize mistakes in history," he added. Veteran Japanese politician Takeo Hiranuma launched a nonpartisan group Wednesday with fellow lawmakers who agreed to seek the removal of the photos. Participants also agreed to request the Japanese Foreign Ministry investigate the situation in Chinese war museums and to consider making a trip to China themselves. |
