metadata.value: Taiwan, which was ruled by the Japanese Empire from 1895 to 1945, still remains one of the
  few regions whose inhabitants do not emphasize the negative aspects of the colonial period.
  Discussions in Taiwanese society about the problems of the historical past traditionally are
  represented by two issues: the question of sovereignty over the Diaoyudao/Senkaku islands
  and the demand from Tokyo of an apology and compensation for Taiwanese “comfort women”.
  Moreover, both of these problems, even if they appeared on the domestic political agenda,
  were never acute and did not have a significant impact on the development of traditionally close Japanese-Taiwanese relations. Questions of the historical past, as a rule, represented
  only one part of the larger discussions regarding the national identity of the islanders and
  the search for models of further development of Taiwan. All these aspects of the “Taiwanese
  approach” to issues related to the problematic past came into full play during the presidency
  of Chen Shui-bian (2000–2008). During this time, Tokyo and Taipei maintained a rather high
  level of political contacts and encouraged cooperation between Japan and Taiwan despite the
  actualization of the “comfort women” issue, which became the baseline for new discussions
  about the colonial past and the role of Japan in developing modern Taiwan. The article discusses
  the approaches of Taiwanese authorities in 2000–2008 to the interpretation of Japan’s
  war-time past and colonial period of Taiwan history in the context of development of relations
  between Tokyo and Taipei.
