Japan, Hua Chunying (華春瑩)

I must point out that the territorial disputes between Japan and its neighbors stem from its past aggression and colonial rules. We hope that Japan can face up to history, have a deep reflection on it and take real action to win back trust from its Asian neighbors.

- Hua Chunying (華春瑩), during a regular press briefing (2014.02.05)

일본의 이웃 국가와의 영토 분쟁은 일본의 침략전쟁 및 식민통치 역사와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있습니다. 우리는 일본이 역사를 바로 보고 깊은 과거에 대해 반성하고, 아시아 이웃 국가들로부터 신뢰를 얻을 수 있는 실질적인 행동을 취할 수 있기를 빕니다.

Japan, Hua Chunying (華春瑩)

Abe's visit to the shrine has already attracted the Chinese people's ire and denunciation. How can a person who is not willing to face up to their own history, to facts, win the trust of the international community or cause people to believe he has a role to play in maintaining regional and global peace and stability?

- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying (Dec 27, 2013)

아베 총리의 신사참배는 이미 중국 인민들의 분노와 비난을 불지폈습니다. 어떻게 자신들의 역사를 제대로 돌아보려하지 않는 사람이 국제사회의 신뢰를 받을 수 있고, 지역과 세계 평화와 안정을 유지하기 위해 노력하고 있다는 것을 믿도록 할 수 있겠습니까?

Japan, Hua Chunying

The more some Japanese people deny and evade history more difficult it will be for them to get rid of the judgement of the history and the heavier historical burden on their shoulders.

Japan, Hua Chunying

We strongly protest the Internal Affairs Minister's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine. This is another provocative action taken by the Japanese cabinet member following Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's blatant visit to the Yasukuni Shrine. People from China and other Asian countries will by no means allow Japan to set back the wheel of history. We solemnly urge Japan to repent for its past transgressions and change its course.
