| Japan and China but heads |
It is no secret that Japan and China have had a rather turblent history. With disputes over gas mines, rights to small insignificant islands, Prime Minsiter Koizumi's repeat visits to Yasakuni Shrine, riots in China directed at Japanese, Japanese diplomats being blackmailed resulting in suicide and Beijing holding out on paying for the damage done to the consulate in afformentioned riots (take a breath)it doesn't look like it will get any better soon, or will it?
It seems the Chinese government is trying to calm down anti Japanese feelings by putting a stop to negative web sites and "toning down state media". Tourism in China from Japan is down since the protests and it fears foreign investors will pull out if the trend continues. It always comes down to money doesn't it?
