At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' routine press conference on the 24th, there were media questions that on the morning of September 24, Beijing time, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the general debate of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City and delivered a speech, referring to the understanding of historical issues, what did China comment on this?

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jianquan responded that China noticed that Prime Minister Shenyang said in his speech that if he did not seriously face history, he could not open up a bright future and never let the tragedy of the war repeat itself. After the war, the Asian people accepted Japan in a spirit of tolerance. But we also noted that the speech did not mention an apology for aggression and avoided the responsibility of war-causing.

He said that this year is the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war against Japan and the world anti-fascist war, and the Chinese side has always believed that the correct attitude to recognize and treat history, with practical actions to reflect the reflection and apology to the history of aggression, is an important prerequisite for Japan's return to the international community after the war, concerns the political basis of China-Japan relations, concerns Japan's relations with neighbors, and also concerns Japan's international image.

Guo Qianquan said that the Japanese side expressed its deep reflection on the responsibility of Japan for the major damage caused to the Chinese people in the past due to the war.We hope that Japan will deeply reflect on its historical responsibility, earnestly learn the lessons of history, take a responsible attitude towards history, the people, and the future, and thoroughly cut off all the acts of embellishing the history of aggression, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and trust the Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions.
