Japan should retrospect its militarist history of aggression, draw lessons from the past, and properly handle the problems left over by history, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Tuesday in Beijing.

When asked to comment on the resolution of the Japanese House of Representatives on the 60th ending anniversary of the World War II, Kong said the war of aggression initiated by the Japanese militarists brought immeasurable misfortune and disasters to peoples in China and other neighbouring countries in Asia, and the Japanese people as well.

While the 60th anniversary of the victory of the world's anti-Fascist war and the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression is celebrated, the Japanese side should retrospect its militarist history of aggression, he said.

However, Kong said, it is regretful that for a certain period of time, some political forces in Japan endeavored to deny, put less emphasis on or even beautify its history of aggression.

There are no prospects in such behavior as to turn back the wheel of history, the spokesman said.
