China-Japan Relations

And what’s behind the recent flurry of diplomatic initiatives?

Japan has little to show for an unprecedented relaxing of its visa program for Chinese nationals.

Beijing wants Japan – and only Japan – to offer reciprocity.

Why this time is different.

With the unprecedented move this time, Japan now joined the other Western countries engaging in freedom-of-navigation exercises in the Taiwan Strait.

For the second time in three months, a knife-wielding man attacked Japanese schoolchildren in China.

Japan called the close approach of the Liaoning and its accompanying destroyers “absolutely unacceptable.”

A Y-9 intelligence-gathering aircraft was spotted flying above Japanese territorial waters – an unprecedented event.

As economic interdependence collides with security concerns, China and Japan must decide between the paths of rivalry or coexistence.

The Japan Coast Guard will be getting a new patrol vessel for the waters around the Senkaku Islands.

Tokyo says a Chinese ship placed a small buoy in the Shikoku Basin along Japan's southern continental shelf. Beijing says it is for tsunami observation.
