China

Japan–China relations are heading toward their worst point in the 53 years since the two nations established diplomatic ties.

From the Busan meeting to mutual official visits, the atmosphere appears much softer than in previous years. But don’t be fooled by the appearance. My own observation is that easing is only on the surface; competition is the essence.
