'Don't help a villain', China urges Japan not to back US tech restriction as the two nations hold talks

Firstpost  

Beijing: Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Sunday urged his Japanese counterpart Yoshimasa Hayashi not to “help a villain do evil” by backing the US tech restrictions against Beijing as the two ministers held rare talks here amid China’s increasing criticism against Tokyo’s backing for Washington-led Indo-Pacific strategy. The United States “used bullying tactics to brutally suppress the Japanese semiconductor industry, and now it is repeating its old tricks against China”, Qin told Hayashi. The two countries should “overcome obstacles and move forward”, Qin said, adding that “clique-forming and containment was not helpful to managing conflicts, in an apparent reference to Japan’s backing for the Indo-Pacific strategy. “ hope that Japan will establish a correct understanding of China, show political wisdom and responsibility, and work together with China to strengthen dialogue and communication, and promote practical cooperation, he said.
