Abstract:This article intends to explore the linkage between Japan’s ODA to China and China’s renunciation of war reparations.It denied that there were relations of policy and jurisprudence between the two,but it found that there were emotional entanglements.The article concludes that a “dual appreciation argument” exists between China and Japan.A “dual obligation argument” was also generated,and behind this,a “dual gratitude and revenge argument”. Between Japan and China,the chain reaction of the two countries’ emotional resistance to each other was distorted more and more.

Key words:China-Japan relations; Japan’s ODA to China; China’s renunciation of war reparations
