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.

Just to point out that China knows and does implement moderation and preservation measures. Hope they continue with the small bubbles economy and curb/stop any big bubble. Small bubbles can last a long time. Big bubble burst is very devastating.

The cause of eastern US blackout may have nothing to do with overdemand, but who knows? Looks like there is some serious inadequacies and flaws in the powergrid. It was an unbelievable chain reaction and the impact could not be isolated.
