August 12 is the 45th anniversary of the conclusion of the peace and friendly treaty of Japan.The two countries seem to want to take this opportunity to adjust bilateral relations.The signingters of the treaty are Yuga Taki and Huang Hua, then the foreign ministers of the two countries.The treaty approval date is October 23. If some commemorative activities are required, the Treaty approval date should be held as the deadline.
On August 8 this year, the Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng said that according to the spirit and guidelines recorded in the four basic documents, including the peace and friendly treaty of Japan, the general direction of the development of Japan -China relations has not changed.The efforts to build the Kishida government's policy concept of China, that is, "constructive and stable Japanese -China relations"; also, closely communicate at all levels.A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on August 12: "The current Sino -Japanese relations are at a critical stage of improvement and development. I hope that the Japanese side will be with the Chinese side to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the approval of the approval of the treaty., Strengthening cooperation and reciprocity, excluding interference obstacles, and jointly committed to building Sino -Japanese relations that meet the requirements of the new era ", showing that the current China will build future Japanese -China relations on the basis of reiterating the spirit and consensus of the treaty.
What kind of treaty is the Treaty Treaty of the Japanese and China -China Peace and Friendship, and what does it record?
First of all, the treaty is based on the Japanese -China -China joint statement on September 29, 1972 to conclude various agreements.The friendly treaty can be described as clearly record the end of the war and the prayer of peace, and it is also of great significance to adopt the form of a treaty that requires approval.
Secondly, from the perspective of the treaty, Article 1 stipulates that "the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual infringement, non -interference in the internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence of peaceful coexistence", "Develop a long -lasting peace -friendly relationship between the two countries. "This can be said that Japan also accepted the spirit of the five principles of peaceful coexistence in China, while calling for the development of peace and friendly relations.In addition, "according to the above principles and the principles of the United Nations Charter, the parties to the contract confirmed that in the relationship, all disputes are solved with peaceful means without resorting to the threat of force and force."The two countries confirmed that for all disputes, they will never resort to force and threats of force, but use peaceful methods.This also has significant modern significance and should be confirmed again.
Another, the treaty advocates that the two countries "hope to contribute to peace and stability of Asia and the world."Or the national group establishes this hegemonic effort. "The weight of this sentence has continued to increase in the 21st century.In the middle of Japan, resolving disputes will not resort to force; in addition, consider contributing to peace and stability in Asia and the world, what to do and what to do in the future.As a realistic issue, in this era of the United States and China, all kinds of tensions are increasing. Some people think that the content of the treaty is unrealistic, but it is necessary to accumulate a diversified mechanism., To inhibit the behavior and threats of destruction, thereby preventing and suppressing the occurrence and expansion of unexpected situations.
In order to push Japanese -China relations in the direction of "peace and constructive", we really need to communicate with economic and cultural exchanges.But now the obstacles in front of the communication are very large.In terms of economy, the issue of security has attracted much attention, and countries must control risks to the minimum range, which to a certain extent to curb free trade.
In addition, there is the same problem in the field of economy and cultural fields, that is, China ’s detention, arrest of Japanese businessmen, scholars, etc. have formed a consciousness that do not go to China as much as possible in Japan, and it is a huge obstacle to future exchanges.It is particularly sensitive to the treatment and punishment of their nationals overseas.In China, even if foreigners are detained and arrested are isolated, they will cause great response in their own country.
The 45th anniversary of the peace and friendly treaty, if the two parties do not meet the spirit of the treaty or have violated the treaty shown, there is a contradiction, so we should discuss and make the maximum efforts to correct it.The desire and expectations of the predecessors who are worried about.
