China yesterday urged Tokyo to fully match its words of remorse over Japan's aggressive history with concrete actions.

"We've noted Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's statement," Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said.

Taking a serious and responsible attitude towards its militaristic aggressive history serves Japan's long-term and fundamental interests, he added.

Koizumi issued a statement yesterday on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, apologizing to the victims of Japan's past aggression.

However, two Japanese cabinet ministers and a group of lawmakers yesterday undermined Koizumi's apology by visiting Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, which honours 14 Class-A war criminals.

Kong said the shrine visits on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II showed the politicians involved had seriously misjudged a key issue.

As a country which was targeted by the Japanese military, China strongly requests the Japanese Government consider its history and stop doing things to hurt the feelings of people affected by Japan's previous military aggression, Kong added.

The spokesman said Japan's correct view of its militaristic past is a prerequisite for the country to gain trust from its Asian neighbours and the international community.
