The demand by some Japanese lawmakers that China remove anti-Japanese photos from Chinese war memorials reflects a lack of courage, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Thursday.
"The photographs have kept alive the miserable facts about the history of that period, and the demand to remove them only shows the lack of courage of Japanese lawmakers to break up with Japan's wrongdoings in history," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a regular briefing.
Some Japanese lawmakers on Wednesday asked China to remove photographs about Japan's invasion from wartime memorials.
"The Japanese invasion of China staged by Japan's militarists was a serious disaster to the Chinese people," Qin said. "Keeping the memory of the history is not to continue the hatred, but to prevent tragedies from happening again and create a bright future."
