Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On Aug 12, 1978, Huang Hua, the foreign minister, and his Japanese counterpart, Sunao Sonoda, signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between China and Japan in Beijing.
The signing set a new milestone in the history of Sino-Japanese relations, following the Joint Statement in September 1972 and the normalization of diplomatic relations.
