China’s State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Japan from November 24 to 25 and reached some consensus with Japan on strengthening economic and social exchanges. At the same time, there are still differences between the two sides on the disputed islands of the Senkaku Islands (Senkaku Islands).

In recent months, the confrontation between the United States and China has intensified. In Asia, China’s relations with its neighbors have also been put to the test. Wang Yi’s visit to Japan coincided with the transition period of the US government.

During his visit, Wang Yi held talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and met with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. This is the first time that Yoshihide Suga has met with a high-level Chinese party since he became prime minister. Wang Yi is the highest-ranking Chinese official to visit Japan since Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, visited Japan in February this year.

Wang Yi also met with Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato Katsunobu, Liberal Democratic Party General Secretary Toshihiro Nikai, and former Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda. He continued to visit South Korea after leaving Japan.
