中日和解之路的探索

Exploration of the Way to China-Japan Reconciliation

和解是中日关系稳定的基础所在,但中日关系存在和解难题。中日和解经历了启动、巩固和反复的过程,虽然取得了邦交正常化、达成中日四个政治文件、开展历史问题共同研究等进展,但尚未实现真正彻底的和解,很多问题尚待解决,尤其是历史问题、中国台湾问题、钓鱼岛领土争端等不时突显。当前,中日和解既受到历史认识问题反复发作的困扰,又面临着领土主权问题的爆发和凸显,更有彼此认知负面、国民感情低位徘徊的阻碍;中日实力地位转换和中美战略博弈加剧则将两国推向战略竞争的轨道,导致新老问题交织凸显,中日关系呈现出脆弱性、不稳定性。推动中日和解、构建契合新时代要求的中日关系,需要做到:恪守中日四个政治文件的原则与精神,维护中日和解的政治法律基础;加强共同历史研究,防止历史问题阻挠中日关系稳定发展;管控矛盾分歧,妥善处理领土争端和海洋权益等敏感问题;深化人文交流,厚植中日和解的民意基础。

The stability of China-Japan relations depends on the ability to achieve reconciliation between the two countries.However,various obstacle impede progress toward this goal.The China-Japan reconciliation has experienced a long process that contains initiation,consolidation,and repetition.Although during this progress,this work has achieved fruitful results such as normalizing diplomatic relations,signing the four political documents between China and Japan,and conducting joint research on historical issues,the China-Japan reconciliation process still has a long way to go.Several challenges,including historical issues,the China Taiwan question,and the territorial dispute over the Diaoyu Islands,still need to be addressed to improve China-Japan relations.At present,the China-Japan reconciliation is not only disturbed by the repeated problems of historical recognition but also faced with the outbreak and prominent issues of territorial sovereignty.Moreover,it is hindered by the negative perception of each other and the low level of national sentiment.The shifting power dynamics between China and Japan,coupled with the escalating strategic competition between China and the US,have pushed these two countries into a path of strategic competition,causing old and new issues to interweave and making China-Japan relations increasingly fragile and unstable.To promote reconciliation and build a new era of bilateral relations,it is crucial to adhere to the principles and spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan.This means safeguarding the political and legal basis for China-Japan reconciliation.Joint studies on historical issues should also be strengthened to prevent these issues from hindering the stable development of China-Japan relations.Additionally,it is necessary to manage differences and handle sensitive issues,such as territorial disputes and maritime rights,properly and constructively.Finally,the people-to-people cultural exchanges should be deepened to consolidate popular support for China-Japan reconciliation.
