LI MIN/CHINA DAILY Editor's note: Certain forces on China's Taiwan island have been distorting history for their selfish gains, downplaying the atrocities committed by Japan during its colonial rule there and advocating so-called friendship with Tokyo.

Three experts share their views, as reported by China Daily's Li Huixian.
