'While relations between Japan and China have a lot of possibilities, we are also facing many issues and concerns,' Japanese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shigeo Yamada tells Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong.
TOKYO, Japan – China said it was troubled by Japan’s military build up and Tokyo took aim at Beijing’s military ties to Russia andduring the Asian powers’ first formal security talks in four years on Wednesday, February 22.
Japan in December said it would double defense spending over the next five years to 2% of gross domestic product – a total of $320 billion – to deter China from resorting to military action. Beijing, which increased defense spending by 7.1% last year, spends more than four times as much as Japan on its forces.
“The international security situation has undergone vast changes and we are seeing the return of unilateralism, protectionism, and a Cold War mentality,” Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong said at the start of the meeting in Tokyo with Japanese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shigeo Yamada.
