Xi meets Ishiba: What explains China's new-found warmth for Japan

Firstpost  

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reached out to Japan at a time when tensions with the United States are expected to rise under incoming Trump administration India is not the only country that China has been dialing down tensions with lately. While the outgoing Joe Biden administration of the United States pursued a targeted trade and tech war with China, hitting at semiconductor, electric vehicles, and metals, among other goods, President-elect Trump has said he could impose blanket tariffs of 60 per cent or above. An analysis by investment and financial services firm UBS found that China could lose as much as 2.5 per cent of GDP if the United States imposes 60 per cent tariffs on all Chinese goods. To cushion the blow from trade disruption with the United States, China is trying to boost trade ties with other countries, such as Japan, Australia, and some European nations.
