（Liberal International./Yukio Hatoyama, Shadow Foreign Minister of DPJ, Japan）
DPJ considers it essential that Japan should sincerely reflect itself on the fact that its wartime actions inflicted pain and damage on the neighboring peoples and build its future course on the lessons learnt from the past.
Therefore, when the DJP is elected to the government, we are fairly confident that Chinese and Korean grudges held against Japanese will ultimately disappear.
Some people argue that China is a military threat but improvements in themilitary capability to date have not yet constituted an immediate threat.
中国脅威論を唱える人もいるが、（中国の）実際の軍事力拡大は大したこと無い。

確かに、インターナショナル＾＾から見るとやや誇張された面もあるかもしれませんが
今世紀以降の中国軍事力は、周辺諸国からしたら脅威以外のなにものでもないわけで
その同じ口で安全保障論を展開されても困ります。

the LDP is over-dependent on the United States in pursuing Japan’sforeign and security objectives, but the DPJ is more concerned with striking a right balance in Japan’s relations with the US and Asian neighbors, with putting slightly more emphasis on the latter.
