Japan makes no exception. The reconstruction of its military forces, which is still in progress, is concentrated on the following two aspects.

Nevertheless, the reality of "hot economic relations vs. cold political relations" between the two countries puzzles people who show deep concern for Sino-Japanese relations: Are the inherent features of Sino-Japanese relations the cause of the phenomenon? Is the gap between aspiration and action the cause of it? Or both are the causes? The answer is there, but exploration needs to be made. In October 2003, the Export Forum of Contemporary Internation- al Relations held a discussion on "the Future of Sino-Japanese Relations. " On June 5, 2004, the forum further sponsored a symposium, inviting four members of the 21st Century Committee for Sino-Japanese Friendship to have a discussion on "Suggestions to Promote Sino-Japanese Relations" in Wanshou Housing Estate. Based on the current situation of Sino- Japanese relations and on "pulse-feeling" and "group consultation," the four members of the 21st Century Committee for Sino-Japanese Friendship in Beijing tried to write out a "prescription" for the development of Sino-Japanese relations. Though the speeches of the four members vary in length and even differ in views, we sincerely hope the discussion could attract your high attention to Sino-Japanese relations so as to make joint effort to bring Sino-Japanese relations to step onto the right track for healthy development.展开更多
