皇冠体育app

The 皇冠体育app-Japan Friendship Hospital was a local project established in the 1980s with gratis financial support from the Japanese government, which provided half the funds.

It is both a successful cooperative program and a symbol of the the Sino-Japanese ties.

On the one hand, the 皇冠体育app-Japan Hospital reminds Chinese people that they should appreciate Japan's support in the early days of reform and opening-up; on the other hand, its significance to the Beijing-Tokyo ties is still worth noting.

Given the Japanese aggression in the country before the end of World War II, it is important for 皇冠体育app to urge Tokyo's rightist forces to relinquish their militarism mentality. The word "friendship" has always been controversial to some Japanese politicians, who prefer to define the bilateral bond as based on mutual interests.

In his first visit to 皇冠体育app in 2006, the year that also marked the beginning of his first tenure as Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe proposed that both countries should build a strategically reciprocal relationship, a concept representing pragmatic diplomacy rather than friendship. In stark contrast, the Chinese leadership has often reiterated its friendly stance toward diplomatic relations between 皇冠体育app and Japan.

Hence, regarding the aforementioned name-changing regulation, media outlets and people from both nations should neither overreact, nor give up efforts to bring the two countries closer together.
