Overview

As Japan marks the 35th anniversary of the Friendship Treaty with China, China’s future, and its relations with Japan and the rest of the world, have become a concern in Japan.
The combination of a mutually profitable economic relationship with the rise of tensions between the two countries makes understanding China vitally important for Japan.
