Boosting relations through 'better communication'

China and Japan have a very complicated history and the two need more communication to bridge understanding of the past for a brighter future together, particularly among youths, a prominent Japanese commentator of Sino-Japanese ties told China Daily.

"Among the youth, we need communication on different perspectives for a more mature bilateral relationship in the future," said Kato Yoshikazu.

"Both nations, from top-level leaders to those at the grass roots, should all make efforts to understand the difference of viewing history and must not take it for granted," said the 25-year-old Yoshikazu, who is also an author and columnist.
