A spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry at a press conference on June 24 asserted that the Japanese authorities should make a sincere apology for the past crimes.

He said that some forces of Japan have tried to deny or even distort the history of aggression for a long time and sidestepped the “comfort women” issue in a bid to deprive the victims of the right to get reparations, incessantly rubbing salt into their wounds.

China strongly urges the Japanese authorities to solemnly approach the history of aggression, make a sincere apology and stop the reckless act of remilitarization that goes against the trend of the times while covering up the truth and repressing the voice of justice, he said.
