Inspiring to see mutual interest of Chinese and Japanese people

China Daily  

Chinese travel agencies predict that Japan is likely to become one of the hottest destinations for Chinese tourists during the Golden Week. Also, Chinese internet users followed an Aug 30 report on Ishikawa prefecture's Kahoku city, where women with children "proposed" imposing a special tax on single people. After spending huge amounts of money on made-in-Japan products－a byword for high quality－for many years, Chinese tourists have begun to enjoy Japan's omotenashi－Japanese way of wholeheartedly entertaining guests－and are trying to understand what Japanese-ness is. Japan is getting ready for an influx of Chinese visitors during China's weeklong National Day holiday, or the "Golden Week", which starts on Oct 1, as about 506,000 Chinese tourists visited Japan during last year's "Golden Week". And a recent Reuters report said Japanese wholesale prices rose at the fastest annual pace in nearly nine years in August as robust Chinese demand boosted commodity prices.
