BEIJING —
China has told Japan that “negative” moves by Tokyo on major issues are preventing an improvement in bilateral ties, but there are now opportunities to improve China-Japan relations.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida during a meeting in Germany that both countries should make efforts to bring bilateral ties back onto the right track.
“There are now both opportunities and challenges for improving China-Japan relations,” China’s Foreign Ministry paraphrased Wang as saying in a statement late on Friday.
“The continuous, negative moves made recently by Japan regarding major sensitive issues have caused disturbances to the improvement of bilateral ties,” Wang added, without offering details.
