Donald's Donald Trump's trade protectionist policy is triggering economic relations around the world.The biggest change occurred between the world's second and third -largest economies of Andmdash; Andmdash; between China and Japan Andmdash; Andmdash;.The Japanese Minister of Finance and the Chinese Finance Secretary held talks in Beijing on Friday, the latest signs of thawing after the relationship between the two countries have been tension for many years.The recovery of friendly relations between China and Japan will be welcomed, but this recovery is doomed.
China and Japan's bilateral trade in 2017 exceeded $ 300 billion, and there were more than 1,000 flights between the two countries every week.But in 2011, Japan's largest foreign source country, Japan, has fallen to fifth in 2016.
In 2012, the Japanese government purchased the three islands of Senkaku Islands, which is uninhabited but controversially, and three islands.One of the most serious discomforts.Since then, China has begun to deteriorate Sino -Japanese relations, and China eventually eats its own fruit.
As Sino -US relations have continuously improved Andmdash; Andmdash; and in the first year of Trump in the second term of the second term of Barack Obama; and still maintain stable ANDMDASH; Andmdash; China is actually frozen and Japan.There are not much scruples for high -level government exchanges.However, after Trump suddenly upgraded the trade war this year, Beijing tried to emergency restoration of Sino -Japanese relations that had been ignored for many years within a few months.
In May of this year, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang visited Japan. This was the first visit to Japan since he served as Prime Minister in 2013. It is also the first time that Chinese Prime Minister has visited Japan since 2010.One month ago, the two countries held for nearly 8 years of Andrdquo; last month, the Japanese ambassador to China was invited to write a comment article Andmdash on the PEOPLE's Daily;Andmdash; the first Andmdash; Andmdash; to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the signing of the "China -Japan Peace Friendship Treaty".
The importance of symbolic value on Friday is greater than that of the theme of the talks Andmdash; Andmdash; restarting a 2013 -effective currency exchange arrangement.The meeting should help the Shinzo Abe's not yet confirmed to visit China.
Beijing's friendly gesture has caused differences between the two camps in Tokyo: a faction continues to regard China as a security threat, and another faction around Abe regards this as an important opportunity to ease the tension between the two countries.The movement of Beijing also gives Japan the opportunity to show diplomatic balance. Right now, Japan is seeking to maintain the relationship with the most important partner in the United States.Although Japan is as dissatisfied with Trump's steel tariffs as well as China, and and some cold practices of the Trump administration Andmdash; Andmdash; including withdrawal from the "Cross -Pacific Partnership Agreement" (TPP) Andmdash; Andmdash;The recovery of Beijing on the Beijing side is by no means a signal that has a crack in the relationship with American allies.
Historical resentment and territorial disputes have too much impact on relations between China and Japan. It is difficult to imagine that one day the two countries will become good friends.Tokyo politicians' ambiguous attitudes to the aggression and atrocities during World War II also embarrassed the surrounding neighbors.Due to domestic political needs, the CCP has always been willing to instigate nationalist hatred against Japan.
But Tokyo is best to make full use of the relationship with Beijing, which helps improve the security of the entire Asia.It is also hoped that this is not a kind of self -interest to change Andmdash; Andmdash; once the timing is appropriate, it will be reversed.Regardless of the Chinese government and Asian countries, the best way is not the repeat of political rights measures, but to maintain communication with Japan in a coherent manner.If Chinese officials have adopted the latter way in the past 5 years, they don't have to repair the relationship between the two countries so hard.
