Frankly speaking I dont know what Ito Hirobumi said to Lý Hồng Chương after first Sino - Japan war in 1985, it was hurted Chinese people until now.
Japan Imperial used force to annex territory of Man Qing dynasty China to Japan in 1895 is wrong.( other territories annexed to China by Man Qing is wrong too)
But don't forget that after modernized Man Qing Navy in time of 慈禧太后; Từ Hy Thái Hậu ( I don't know how to typing in Pinyin), Man Qing China was very arrogant, like China now and China would like destroy Japan. The result of the war, is clear Man Qing was the loser.
I think its the first lesson Japanese have been teached you. Every strength is limited, China is strong, but Japan is stronger.
