The Chinese government says they've maintained normal communication with Japan, despite a bitter territorial1 dispute in the East China Sea.
Foreign Ministry2 spokesperson Hong Lei made the remarks during the visit here of the former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama.
Hong Lei said exchanges between China and Japan can promote solutions and boost development.
Murayama's China trip follows previous visits this month here by Natsuo Yamaguchi, leader of a junior party in Japan's ruling coalition3, as well as former prime minister Yukio Hatoyama.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has suggested the two countries need to rebuild the mutually beneficial partnership4 and to hold a summit or high-level talks.
However, Japan's education minister said Abe's government will review statements by its predecessors5 about wartime history including a landmark6 1995 apology and textbook screening guidelines.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei called on Japan to face history responsibly.
"The problems of history are extremely important when it comes to Japan's developing of relations with neighboring countries in Asia. Japan should have a responsible attitude when it comes to the problems of history and respect the feelings of the people of Asia. We hope that Japan can take history as a mirror and pursue a path of peaceful development."
The Japanese government has also decided7 to establish a special force to enhance maritime8 surveillance capability9 in the waters of disputed islands with China.
Tensions between the two countries flared11 up last year after Japan unilaterally "nationalized" the Diaoyu Islands last September, despite China's strong opposition12.
