Congratulations to Hu for Seeking Sino-Japanese Detente
Sir, As citizens of Japan and China, we were quite surprised that your article "Hu makes friends with old foe" (May 9) missed the fact that the improvement of Sino-Japanese relations at the official level is the result of decades-long efforts at the popular level. As your article understandably says, the Japanese must learn about and make clear apologies for their past wrongdoings, and China's extreme nationalists must recognise that calls for revenge will prove neither constructive nor realistic.
