Wang Yi calls for normalized China-Japan ties in first talks since Taiwan rift
Original: China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, said relations with Tokyo must be "normalized," during talks with ex-Japanese Foreign Min
China's top diplomat Wang Yi said relations with Tokyo must be "normalized" during talks with former Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, the first such meeting since ties plummeted over Taiwan last year. The exchange signals a possible thaw in the strained relationship, and observers are watching whether it leads to renewed high-level engagement between Beijing and Tokyo.
Why now: It is the first senior China-Japan diplomatic contact since relations deteriorated over Taiwan, hinting at a potential thaw.
