Ties between Asia's two biggest economies deteriorated sharply after Japan's coastguard detained a Chinese trawler captain whose boat collided last month with two patrol ships near islands in the East China Sea that are claimed by both countries. Kan, who has been under fire domestically for seeming to cave in to China's demands to free the captain, is expected to seek other countries' understanding for Japan's stance at an Asia-Europe summit on Monday and Tuesday. He said on Sunday he had no plan for formal talks with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, also attending the summit in Brussels. Voter support for Kan's government dropped to 49 percent from 64 percent last month, a survey by the Mainichi newspaper showed. Another poll, by the Yomiuri newspaper, showed a fall to 53 percent from 66 percent in the previous survey. More than 70 percent of respondents to both surveys said it was inappropriate for Japanese prosecutors to release the Chinese captain without concluding whether to indict him. About 40 percent in the Yomiuri survey said the move gave the impression that Japan would cave in to foreign pressure. TRADE TIES CONCERN On Saturday, more than 2,000 conservative activists rallied in Tokyo to criticize the government's handling of the affair. But Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshito Sengoku, the de facto second most senior leader in Kan's government, told Reuters in an interview the public would eventually come around. China has released three Japanese citizens who had been detained on suspicion of illegally entering a military zone, but one remains in custody. The row has raised concern about damage to trade ties at a time when Japan is increasingly reliant on China's dynamism for growth. China became Japan's biggest trading partner last year. Masatoshi Matsuzaki, president and CEO of Konica Minolta, which manufactures its mainstay printers and office equipment in China, told Reuters in an interview that there had been no big impact on its business despite some delays at customs. But he added: "We are now in the founding anniversary holidays (in China), so we have to see what happens this week, whether there is any change." Japan has urged calm and repeatedly said ties with China were vital. But it is also worried about China's military buildup and stepped-up maritime activities. Japan and the United States are set to conduct a joint military exercise in December focusing on defending remote isles, and Japan, seeking to counter suspicious ships in or around its waters, may buy U.S. drones, Kyodo news agency reported. 1 2 Next World China China Labor Unrest Japan Comments See All Comments (4) | Post Comment Oct 03, 2010 10:46pm EDT World War II ended in 1945. Nazi Germany surrendered first on May 8th. Imperial Japan on August 15th. Since then, Germany continues a campaign of compensation and education to accept guilt for WW II atrocities while Japan follows a long policy of official denial of wrongdoing. Japan continues to deny the atrocities of the past such as the notorious “rape of Nanking” or the treatment of Koreans. In 2004 Miyako Masuda, a 23-year veteran teacher, dared to teach the truth about Japan’s role in China and Korea in her history class; she was removed from teaching. Her actions came in response to a Tokyo politician’s public statement that “Japan never invaded China and Korea.” During the Japanese occupation of China and Korea, hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Korean women were used as “sex slaves” by Japanese soldiers, a fact documented in many sources and poignantly discussed by Chinese-American historian Iris Chang whose study of Japanese atrocities are the definitive source on the subject. These captive women were known as comfort women. ABechsheim Report As Abusive Oct 04, 2010 12:31am EDT Japan might have learnt the skill of how to spin the news to the Western press. But if she is sincere about a better relation with China (and any other of her neighbors,) she must owe up to the fact that she IS occupying some arguable very Chinese Islands, rather than denying a dispute even exists. America skillfully planted this seed of discord to help control BOTH China and Japan. Does Japan want keep playing this silly game of spin, or does she want to truly turn a new leaf and become a benevolent people in Asia? Just1 Report As Abusive Oct 04, 2010 2:17am EDT to ABechsheim Seen from how you wrote, it seems you have very little knowledge of Japanese schools and teachings. Being a student in a normal rural school in Japan in 1980s, I know that to teach students how the Japanese imperial troops had committed a lot of horrible war crimes in Asia, or how pre-war Japan was a top-level rogue country were (have been) very common and usual. Those teacher’s attitudes were partly because Japanese Teachers Union (Nikkyo-so)have been long dominated by very strong leftists. Teachers sometimes even denied to honor the national flag of Japan, you know symbol of the rising sun (hated by many leftists as a symbol of Japan’s pre-war militarism and invasions as a result in Asia). But recently, the tide has been changing a bit, changing toward a more right wing way of thinking. In Tokyo, for example, a teacher who had refused to sing the national anthem at a school ceremony was admonished by the Tokyo Board of Education. Leftist’s influence in Japan is not as strong as some decades ago. roppo Report As Abusive Oct 04, 2010 2:36am EDT Both China & Japan need to mend ways in dealing with each other on issues of all kinds like mature countries. While Japan must be in a sorry state for the atrocities inflicted on Chinese(& wow not to think that way again) in the past during second world war; China must be able to digest its newly acquired prosperity & not behave with its neighboring countries in a bullying manner. Further all Asian countries should realize that US, (in its present state in particular), will be ever anxious & want to get maximum diplomatic, political, strategical, military & economic benefits keeping these two biggest economies of Asia fighting. Let good sense prevail & differences be not sparked leading to battles/wars…..leading every one to destruction! vksaini Report As Abusive See All Comments (4) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
