In August 2006, the Department of International Relations at Australian National University will host a workshop on reconciliation between Japan and China. Preparatory to the organization of that workshop, we invite you to brainstorm the topic electronically through this blog. The purpose of this blog is to invite discussion and debate about the best ways to encourage reconciliation between China and Japan.

Japan-China Joint History Project
The Japan Times reports that the offficially established Japan-China Joint Committee on History Studies, meeting for the second time on March 19-21, has "given up cowriting a single history of Sino-Japanese relations." Instead the Committee members (ten from China and ten from Japan) will write their own versions of the two countries' relationship, and then exchange comments if they disagree. The Committee first met in December 2006, and they aim to complete their work by June 2008. Yomiuri Shimbun of March 21 provides a somewhat more positive view of the meeting.
