BEIJING - China urges Japan to take history as a mirror, deeply reflect on its past, take China's demands seriously, honestly retract its erroneous remarks, and demonstrate its political commitments to China through concrete actions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday.

"On issues of utter importance, the Japanese side should not harbor any illusion that they can fob off," Lin said at a regular news briefing.
