China calls on Japan to resolve issues

Japan should properly tackle important matters with China, such as historical issues and the Taiwan question, China's top political adviser said on Thursday.

Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, said at a meeting with a visiting bipartisan delegation of Japanese lawmakers that Japan should safeguard the political basis for its relationship with China.

The delegation of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians' Union was led by Masahiko Komura, vice-president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and a frequent visitor to China.
