中日关系历史认识问题中的美国因素

The US Factor on the Understanding and Interpretation of History Issues in China-Japan Relationship

二战结束以来，日本在对历史问题的认识上同亚洲各国背道而驰并越来越远，是与美国在占领日本时期对日不认罪态度的纵容、旧金山和会至冷战期间对日本的庇护和扶植、冷战结束以来怂恿和帮助日本成为“正常国家”的政策分不开的。美国出于地缘战略的需要，其对日政策将是长期的，中日关系中对历史问题的认识分歧也将是长期的。

Since the end of the WWII, divergence of views has been in existence between Japan and various countries in Asia with regard to the understanding and interpretation on the history issues and that gap between them is getting wider and wider. The invariable cause is rooted inseparably from the US policy toward Japan. The US connived at Japan's non-admission of its war crimes during the occupation of Japan by the US. During the periods of San Francisco Peace Convention to the Cold War, the US put Japan under its protection and gave it support. After the end of the Cold War, the US has instigated and helped Japan to become a 'normal state.' The US policy toward Japan will remain permanently so out of the need of its geopolitical strategy. As a result, differences in the understanding and interpretation of history issues in China-Japan relations will exist for a long time to come.
