China urges Japan to face up to wartime past

BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China urged Japan on Friday to face up to its wartime past, but stopped short of condemning a group of Japanese cabinet ministers for paying homage to a controversial shrine for war dead.

"That invasion launched by Japanese militarism caused China and other Asian countries unprecedented and very grave disaster," the Foreign Ministry said, referring to the 1937-45 Japanese invasion of China.

"Correctly recognising and treating that part of history...is conducive to the healthy and steady development of friendly and neighbourly bilateral relations," the ministry said in a statement on its Web site, www.fmprc.gov.cn.

Analysts said China's reaction was relatively mild as the statement made no mention of the visit by four Japanese ministers, including high-profile Trade Minister Takeo Hiranuma, to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, seen by critics as a symbol of the militarist regime that led Japan into war.
