The world's second and third biggest economies are rivals for energy and mineral resources and have competing claims to parts of the East China Sea, where their exclusive economic zones overlap. China's Premier Wen Jiabao met his Japanese counterpart Yukio Hatoyama in Tokyo weeks after Chinese naval helicopters twice buzzed Japanese destroyers, and a Chinese marine survey ship pursued a Japanese coastguard vessel. "Our prime minister said the recent Chinese activities near Japan had raised concerns," a Japanese foreign ministry official said following the talks. "Our prime minister requested that such actions never be repeated," said the official, adding that Wen had offered no reply. "The two sides agreed to set up a hotline so that telephone conversations can be made without any delay," said the Japanese official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The Chinese side said they always want to exchange views on important subjects." The new hotline would be between political leaders, not defence chiefs. Japan has eyed China's military build-up -- with annual double-digit growth for most of the past two decades -- with concern and repeatedly called on the country to increase the transparency on its defence spending. The helicopter incidents came as Japanese destroyers were watching a Chinese flotilla, including submarines, sailing in international waters between Japanese southern islands, an act seen as provocative by Tokyo. Both leaders also agreed Monday to resume stalled talks on a two-year-old agreement to jointly explore oil and gas resources in the East China Sea, in the Shirakaba oil and gas field, known as Chunxiao in Chinese. Since the June 2008 agreement, the talks have stalled and Japan says China has started unilateral operations on the Chinese side of the median line, with ships reportedly observed taking equipment to the area. The leaders also signed agreements on food safety, energy conservation, environmental protection and e-commerce. The food safety agreement comes after tainted Chinese-made dumplings made 10 people ill in Japan in 2007-08. Chinese police in March arrested a Chinese suspect for allegedly injecting toxic chemicals into the dumplings. Hatoyama also again urged Wen to support efforts to reprimand North Korea, which has been blamed for the sinking of a South Korean warship in March, killing 46 sailors. Beijing has so far resisted calls to publicly castigate or punish its isolated and impoverished communist neigbour. Despite the occasional flare-ups and differences between China and Japan, both have been at pains to highlight their strengthening ties. Hatoyama has urged turning the East China Sea into a "Sea of Fraternity", and Wen, after his arrival Sunday, read a haiku-style poem describing his feelings about changes in China's relations with Japan. "The ice melts into water in the spring. The rain is gone and the green mountain is extremely green and the earth is thick with grasses," he said. Wen started Monday early, practising Tai Chi and jogging in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park, where the premier, dressed in black sportswear and shadowed by bodyguards, shook hands with other early risers. In a bout of "baseball diplomacy," he played catch with university students and practised batting. One of the students later said on television: "I didn't get nervous because he was very friendly." China and Japan's economic fates are increasingly intertwined. China is expected to overtake Japan as the world's number two economy this year. Demand from China and other emerging Asian markets has driven Japan Inc's recovery from its worst post-war recession, while an easing in travel restrictions has triggered a surge in Chinese tourism to Japan. China is Japan's top trade partner, with two-way business around 230 billion dollars last year, exceeding Japan-US trade for the third year in a row.
