BEIJING -- A 3,000-member Japanese delegation arrived in China on Friday, an event observers hope will deepen mutual understanding and trust.

The delegation is led by chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's General Council Toshihiro Nikai, according to Li Jinzao, head of the China National Tourism Administration.

The delegation includes the heads of local governments and big enterprises -- a group willing to intense ties with China.

The delegation will be divided into into 80 teams to visit Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei and Liaoning provinces, among others, to attend cultural, tourism and trade events.

Nikai hopes people-to-people exchanges will improve relations between the two countries and further foster tourism interaction.

This was the fifth time Nikai had organized a large cultural exchange tour to China.

"It is a rather high-profile [...] delegation. The event marks an important step forward in pushing the China-Japan relationship toward gradual improvement," said Zhou Yongsheng, professor with the Institute of International Relations under the China Foreign Affairs University.

So you see my dear nihonjin, Japanese companies sure wouldn't want to leave China and move all the factories to South East Asia. The demonstrations that ensued after the mistake of buying the disputed island and the damages to the factories didn't result the mass migration. After a year or two Japan did everything it could to mend ties with China. With this large delegation visiting China it's proof just how important China really is. Though Japan may increase investments in South East Asia trying to compete with AIIB, i'm confident many Japanese factories won't be leaving China due to her infrastructures in place and the sheer market size.

One area we're interested in is the maritime crises mechanism as per recent high level military talks from JSDF and PLA, respectively.

If realized, we can expect greater stability in an already restive region.

Trade is good, of course. But the faster we can conclude with a maritime crises mechanism, the more we can expect boost in trade relations.

Xi's speech stresses people-to-people exchange to improve China-Japan ties: Japanese media

The Japanese media said Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech delivered at a gathering of more than 3,000 Japanese visitors in Beijing Saturday is a clear sign of China's willingness to improve bilateral ties as well as a warning against any attempt to whitewash Japan's wartime history.

The 3,000-member Japanese delegation arrived in China on Friday, an event observers hope will deepen mutual understanding and trust between the two neighbors.

The Mainichi Shimbun said the Chinese side viewed the visit by the Japanese delegation led by Toshihiro Nikai, chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's General Council, as a practical step to improve bilateral ties.

Noting that China attaches importance to people-to-people and local exchanges between the two nations, the paper believed that further improvement of bilateral relations has yet to come due to historical and regional issues.

The Asahi Shimbun said while Xi's speech stressed China's principled stance on the historical issues, it also showed the emphasis China placed on the people-to-people exchanges, especially among the young people between the two countries.

Quoting Xi's remarks that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the crimes committed by the Japanese militarists during Japan's war of aggression should never be covered up, the Tokyo Shimbun said the remarks indicated China had doubts about the Abe government's stance on historical issues.

Kyodo news agency said that Xi's speech, on the one hand, showed that China "was closely watching" Abe's planned statement marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. On the other hand, it highlighted China's commitment to advance the people-to-people exchanges, particularly among the youth, and its readiness to seek a "broader thawing" of relations with Japan.

Jiji press said that while China kept alert to the Abe administration, it also hoped to create an amicable environment through such large-scale exchanges.

To be honest, my sentiment on Japan is not improving at all.

A good gesture. Nothing will change as japs like to vote right wing extremist to be their ruler.

Plus japs are good at pretending to be sincere than they will **** you when the time is right.

Good to hear.

Its good that we can learn to work through differences.

Japanese talk nice but you never know what they're truly thinking.

Chinese talk straight and it might not be nice to hear but Chinese say what they mean and do what they say.
