Abe seeking improved ties with China: reports

[nang2]

No he won't.

Ouch! What a political humiliation that must be. First joining hands with Obama trying to contain China with the purchase of Diaoyu Island, then the meddling of SCS, the constant whining telling other countries to force China to accept the lousy verdict. Now Hillary is out of the picture and the first meeting with Trump wasn't that fruitful he is left with nobody else to turn to. Don't you just love seeing Abe keep crawling on his knees? I have said it some years ago China is the only super power in Asia, mess with the Dragon and thou shalt suffer.

Abe seeks to improve ties with China ahead of 45th anniversary of normalization
Kyodo, Nov 21, 2016

LIMA – Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Xi Jinping have agreed to improve relations ahead of the 45th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China.

Abe also invited Premier Li Keqiang to Japan to hold a trilateral summit with South Korea later this year.

Abe and Xi met Sunday in Lima. Xi gave no clear answer to the Li invitation, according to Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami, who briefed reporters on the roughly 10-minute-long meeting.

Abe and Xi met amid growing uncertainty about whether South Korean President Park Geun-hye, who is facing calls to resign due to an influence-peddling scandal, can visit Japan for a summit the three countries have agreed to hold before the end of this year.

“I want to improve bilateral ties across the board and forge a stable and good relationship by resolving issues in an appropriate manner and from a comprehensive viewpoint,” Abe was quoted as telling Xi on the sidelines of the annual summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, which is being held this year in the Peruvian capital.

Nogami quoted Xi as responding: “I was impressed with the prime minister’s words. It is important to settle issues properly and increase popular sentiment toward improving ties.”

Japan and China have been at odds over issues such as Beijing’s claim to the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.

Abe and Xi did not discuss topics related to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and North Korea’s nuclear arms program, according to Nogami.

Abe told Xi that a three-way summit with the Chinese and South Korean leaders would be the first opportunity for Li to visit Japan as premier, saying he “hoped it would be a fruitful visit in the context of bilateral relations (with China).”

Abe and Xi last met in early September in China on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit.

Japan and China seek improved ties in impromptu APEC talks

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday that he aims to improve ties with China by capitalizing on key anniversaries for bilateral relations in the next few years, a Japanese government spokesman said.

The two leaders held impromptu talks while attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima.

Abe told Xi he would like to seek comprehensive improvement of ties with eyes on the 45th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations next year and the 40th anniversary of the Japan-China peace and friendship treaty in 2018, the spokesman said.

China's Foreign Ministry said the brief talks happened at the request of the Japanese side.

"President Xi Jinping stated clearly China's principled position on developing Sino-Japan relations," the ministry said, without elaborating.

Ties between China and Japan, the world's second- and third-largest economies, have long been strained by a territorial dispute.

Abe would have more negotiation powers if he had requested this meeting before being spurned by Trump.
He gambled and lost.
I am sure there is a price to pay, it's a matter of how much.

He did not get what he wanted from trump

Seems Abe run out his....ummh 'guarantor' ? Trump doesn't kind of leader he expected.

Who is going to take this clown seriously?

Up down up down, we have see this kind of bull shit rhetoric before. Even fundamental things like whitewashing history, stolen artifacts, reparations and illegally seized islands cannot be achieved, who gives a shit about what 'improving ties' mean?

Japan has burned too many bridges, there is no going back.

ACCOUNTABILITY and JUSTICE cannot be swept under the rug. As China grows, Japan have less and less room to politically maneuver.

I say no to peace until past wrongs are put to right. Time and history is on China's side and Japan knows this. Pretty desperate to run to Trump looking for salvation.
