Abstract

I understand that the issue of the chinese japanese relationship may prove to be quite a sensitive issue in both countries, and I hope I will not offend anyone in any way, with this presentation. I tried to present the facts and analysis as objectively as possible to highlight the problems and the dynamics of the relationship, and thus finally to propose solutions for betterment. I mainly base this paper on my experiences last year while studying in Japan, and during my research over there, as well as long email exchanges I had with a chinese friend who was studying with me in Japan, last year: Ji yongsly who is from Beijing, studies japanese culture, and whom I am thanking, for having provided me with some insights from the chinese point of view, regarding the chinese japanese relationship. Inheritance from World War II and a long history of rivalries, the relationship between the two big powerful nations of North-East Asia, China and Japan, has never seemed to have recovered from the past and its conflicting characteristic.
