Japan, China Agree to Visit by Top Beijing Diplomat in 2025

Live Mint  

China and Japan agreed that Beijing’s top diplomat should visit in 2025, adding to signs the two nations are repairing ties that have been strained in recent years. Yet Beijing is also Tokyo’s top security concern, primarily because of worries that China’s military poses a threat to Japan’s southwest island chain. In a sign of efforts to soothe ties, China said in September it would move to end a ban on imports of Japanese seafood, a step taken in response to Japan’s plan to release treated radioactive water into the sea from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant. Chinese Premier Li Qiang may visit Japan in May or June, which could provide an opportunity for Beijing to inform Tokyo it would lift the ban, the newspaper said, citing Chinese government officials it didn’t name.
