Audra Ang: China Issues Statement Against Japan

From AP. via Guardian Unlimited:

In the strongest stand so far against the Japanese bid for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, China’s premier told Japan on Tuesday to face up to its World War II aggression before aspiring to a bigger global role.

It was the strongest hint yet that China might exercise its veto as one of the council’s five permanent members to block Japan.

“Only a country that respects history, takes responsibility for history and wins over the trust of peoples in Asia and the world at large can take greater responsibilities in the international community,” Premier Wen Jiabao said during an official visit to India.
