Quotable

Liu Jiangyong, an expert on Japanese studies and vice-dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University

If the Diaoyu Islands issue is not properly handled, it will affect China-Japan ties in all aspects. The former leaders of both sides set a good example for us by normalizing bilateral diplomatic ties. I believe most Japanese are keen for peace, but it's a pity that many of them don't understand the issue's history.
