B: Yeah, it sounds like they're still upset about something. What was Japan's response?

A: Japan's representative said that all nations should be humble about their history and acknowledged that Japan has faced its past squarely. They also mentioned walking the path of a peace-loving nation for the last eight decades.

B: That sounds like they tried to keep things diplomatic. This is all because of a comment from our Prime Minister, Takaichi Sanae, about Taiwan, right?
