China, Japan and Korea have unresolved historical issues with one another that still hinder mutual understanding and regional security, but the problem may be eased with expanding a network of institutions for expediting transnational dialogue on history, a U.S. professor said Wednesday.

Professor Mike Mochizuki of George Washington University urged the U.S. to work on historical reconciliation with Japan in order to exercise a more effective position in the resolution of historical conflicts among Northeast Asian countries.
