China Urged to Stop "Anti-Japan" Education

Kyodo reports that Japan's former top financial diplomat Toyoo Gyohten has urged China to stop anti-Japanese education to soften bilateral ties. A patriotic education syllabus introduced in 1994 raises anti-Japanese sentiments in students stemming from Japanese atrocities conducted in China before and during WWII. Gyohten also says that Japan must also issue a formal apology no matter how many times the general public has heard it.
