Abstract:

Six decades after the conclusion of the World War II, China and Japan, Asia's two great powers, remain estranged from each other on the issues of the WWII memory even as their economic ties are growing at a rapid pace. This paper is intended to examine how the state and domestic forces in both China and Japan have come into terms with the difficult past at the level of bilateral relationship between the two countries. The authors criticize the prevailing opinion in both public discourse and scholarly research that memory and nationalistic sentiments are manipulated and used by the Chinese regime as a bargaining chip in the diplomatic negotiation. Instead, the authors argue that the struggle over historical issues in Sino-Japanese relations is a “two-level game” between domestic politics and international relations. The authors propose and test a theoretical model and informed by rich empirical data collected from standardized survey, textual analysis, and in-depth interviews. The evidence and the model show that Chinese and Japanese leaders must consider both the bilateral relationship as well as their own domestic politics. The state-society relationship and domestic politics have influenced the interpretations of the history as well as reconciliation process between China and Japan.
