Yomiuri War Responsiblitity Project

Takahiko Tennichi, editorial writer for Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, came to George Washington University in DC this week to talk about "Reconciliation between China and Japan: a search for solutions" .

In his word, "As for China, Japan must accept the fat that is actions there... ocnstitued an acto of aggression.", however, "looking at apan as the sole villain is too biased a viewpoint from which to judge Japan's history."
