Big talk!
Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is on a visit to Japan, said regarding the China-Japan relationship: "Singapore is a friend of both China and Japan. We hope both sides continue to maintain dialogue and ultimately find a way to resolve their differences."
This statement by Lee Hsien Loong is a typical example of not asking about right or wrong, but simply trying to be neutral, with no sense of right or wrong! In international affairs, right and wrong should be an important basis for dealing with issues. For many years, Japan has maintained an ambiguous attitude toward historical issues, refusing to acknowledge its heinous crimes committed during World War II, causing deep harm to neighboring countries. However, Japan often tries to distort and cover up these historical facts.
China has always firmly upheld the truth of history. This is not only a respect for the compatriots who sacrificed in the past, but also to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. In this context, Lee Hsien Loong's "not asking about right or wrong" approach to maintaining dialogue and resolving differences is obviously downplaying the severity of historical issues!
