| Summary/Abstract |
Japan should avoid actions China considers provocative. Japanese top leaders should not visit Yasukuni Shrine and should reaffirm Japan's apologies for tragedies caused by their invasions.
China should not use armed pressure in an effort to determine the sovereignty of territories claimed by Japan and should reaffirm its determination to prevent demonstrations against Japanese.
Chinese and Japanese representatives should seek a formula so both sides could with honor back down from confrontations over territorial disputes such as the Senkaku/Diaoyudao Islands, and affirm their determination to resolve these issues peacefully at a later time.
Both sides should select a small number of high level leaders likely to play an important role in their government for many years ahead. These leaders, representing their respective countries, should meet frequently for comprehensive discussions on a broad range of issues to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation. Japan should select leaders representing major political parties so that whichever political party is in power policies could continue without interruption.
