Top Chinese diplomat urges Japan ties be 'normalized'
Original: Top Chinese diplomat tells ex-Japanese foreign minister ties must be ‘normalized’
A senior Chinese diplomat told a former Japanese foreign minister that relations between Beijing and Tokyo must be 'normalized', according to The Japan Times. The remark came during a meeting between the two officials, and it signals China's continued insistence on improving a relationship strained by historical, territorial and security disputes. The identity of the diplomat, the former minister and the timing of the meeting were not detailed in the report.
Why now: China-Japan relations remain tense, so any high-level call to normalize ties draws attention.
