A Research On The Influence On Sino-Japanese Relationship In Present Age By The Japanese National Characteristics

The political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations,'historical issues'between the two countries have both historical and social causes. Of all these are the Cold War policies of the US, the existence of Japanese Military Imperialism, the remains of Fascism and the absence of correct historical views of the Japanese people. After Japan becomes one of the economic super powers in the world, Japanese right-wing elements begin to butter up their invasion in China, attempt to be a political super power. Such behavior caused serious drawbacks in Sino-Japanese relations. During the ten years of economic recession after the Cold-war period, the right-wing elements in Japan use such issues to rally support, hoping to facilitate Japan's economic revival. Through theoretical analyses of these issues, this paper points out effective solutions for such serious problems in Sino-Japanese relations, which are believed to have important bearings on the future of the two peoples.Millen Kindler wrote in his Will of Betrayal:"Those who betray God are doomed to be the lost individuals who hurry their ways ahead in a mist, and turn back only to find the ways behind have vanished in the fog. Finally they end up stumbling around like flies with their heads cut off."This is very true for Japan today. However, whether Japan can find its way out of the'modern dilemma'does not only matter himself but China as well. Though modern theorists are studying Sino-Japanese relations from political and economic perspectives, this paper hopes to find new paths from a different angle---the national features of Japan, so as to explore new grounds for solutions.In the background of economic globalization today, nationalism, in some degree, hinders international communication. A surge of new nationalism began to emerge in Japan from the end of 1980s, which poses serious threats to Sino-Japanese relations. The question is whether the Japanese can have sensible understanding of their history of invasion as expected by people in Asia, and if there is such possibility that this country will degrade once again to military imperialism. Another general concern in Asia is that whether Japan has the intention and capability for exterior intervention. How Chinese should treat Japan's embellishment of invasion and which direction the Sino-Japanese is going in the future both deserve special attention. Therefore, reviewing history for future reference is a scientific way for people today to treat such a delicate political issue and a guiding principle for governments of the two countries. For this reason, a study of new Japanese nationalism in association with the Sino-Japanese relations is not only significant for improving Sino-Japanese relations, but provides valuable theories leading to more solutions in future.It is imperative to resolve the difficulties in Sino-Japanese relations. Expected by both peoples, such relations can be improved through mutual efforts, so that the current situation of'economy hot, politics cold'can be replaced with a new type of mutually beneficial relation. It is believed that China should think in a super-power way. Laozi once said"Those good at fighting never get angry,"which implies that China should exhibit the ability of differentiation in handling Sino-Japanese relations. While criticizing Japan when it compromises Sino-Japanese relations by asserting her stances, China should also seize every opportunity to augment her strength, so as to have more say in the international community. Therefore, it is right to say a country with the greatest comprehensive strength has the most say in international affairs. A country without backbones has no future. However, in addition to this, he should also have wisdom, ambitions and vision. Like a Chinese saying goes:"those who laugh the last, laugh the best."...
