| China Rejects Japan's Demand for Apology |
| 2005-04-17 |
| EFL - How about the all-hallowed "Face" we're supposed to be so sensitive about? China's foreign minister on Sunday rejected Tokyo's demand for an apology for damage to Japanese diplomatic missions in violent protests, telling his Japanese counterpart that Beijing had done nothing for which it had to apologize to Japan's people. Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing instead complained that Japan has "hurt the feelings" of Chinese on a series of issues, including relations with rival Taiwan and "the subject of history" - a reference to new Japanese textbooks that critics say minimize Japan's wartime offenses. "The Chinese government has never done anything for which it has to apologize to the Japanese people," Li told Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura. Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura arrived Sunday in Beijing to deliver a protest following three weekends of violent anti-Japanese protests. |
