This course aims at exploring various research materials and looking for possible answers from the pasts to major problems between China and Japan today. How to put the Chinese-Japanese relations in a global context? How did the Sino-Japanese relations influence the US relations with East Asia? Why has Koizumi Junichiro?s visit to Yasukuni Shrine been a major diplomatic problem between China and Japan during the past years? What is the ?Textbook Problem?? Did Nanjing Massacre ever happen?
