Japan’s negative moves hinder ties

CHINA has told Japan that negative moves by Tokyo on major issues are preventing an improvement in bilateral ties, but there are now opportunities to improve relations.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida during a meeting in Germany that both countries should make efforts to bring bilateral ties back onto the right track.

“There are now both opportunities and challenges for improving China-Japan relations,” Wang said.

“The continuous, negative moves made recently by Japan regarding major sensitive issues have caused disturbances to the improvement of bilateral ties,” Wang added, without offering details.

“Only when Japan honors its commitments and adopts a responsible attitude, thus preventing the occurrence of incidents damaging the political foundation of the China-Japan ties, can there be real improvement in relations.”
