    BEIJING, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese mainland has voiced firm opposition towards Taiwan authority's revision of history textbooks that plays down the Nanjing Massacre or neglect it in certain versions.

    "Nanjing Massacre was a monstrous crime committed by Japanese militarists against the Chinese people," said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, at a routine press conference here on Wednesday.

    He said it's a tragic period of history that the entire human society and every descendant of the Chinese nation must not forget.

    "Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future," said Li.

    He said history textbooks of senior high schools in Taiwan should pass on the objective and true history to the next generation in Taiwan.

    "We firmly oppose any move to distort, obliterate and confuse history," he said.
