In recent years, with the growth of China's national strength, some nationalist tendencies have emerged in China, which should be paid attention to; but we cannot equate the focus on the issues of Japan's invasion of China and filing compensation lawsuits against the Japanese government in Tokyo courts with nationalism. In line with the principle of "freedom of thought and expression," the views collected in this volume may not be entirely consistent, but these articles and viewpoints can inspire further reflection.
