This year Japan and China hit the 40 the anniversary of normalization of relations between them. However, recently, the mayor of Nagoya made a comment about 1937 "rape of Nanjing" by Japanese soldiers doubting its occurrence. The comments sparked a widespread foror in China, and Nanjing suspended its sister-city ties with Nagoya in posted. Prime Minister said "This is a matter that should be properly resolved between the city of Nagoya and the city of Nanjing, and I very much hope the matter will be resolved as early as possible" when a reporter asked him how he felt about the mayor's comment.
I know that this kind of problems exists all over the world between many countries, and I believe that they are very hard political issues to overcome. They are shown even in the Book of Mormon.
