China and Japan have cultural and political connections that stretch back 1,500 years. But today they need to reset their strained relationship. Ezra Vogel underscores the need for Japan to offer a thorough apology for its atrocities during WWII, but he also urges China to recognize Japan as a potential vital partner in the region.

He was Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University.Vogel was born to a family of Jewish immigrants in 1930 in Delaware, Ohio.
