BEIJING (AP) - China accused Japan's foreign minister of glorifying aggression after he said Tokyo's 50-year colonial rule over Taiwan was responsible for the high education standards there.
Beijing's angry reaction comes at a time when relations already are strained amid disputes over Japan's wartime history, contested oil resources and Tokyo's campaign for a U.N. Security Council seat.
"We are shocked by and express our strong indignation over the Japanese foreign minister's remark of overtly glorifying invasion history," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said late Sunday, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
