China sees no basis for high-level talks with Japan
中国排除与日本高层对话可能
China’s Vice Foreign Minister, Li Bao-dong, says China sees no basis for holding talks with Japan on territorial disputes due to Japan’s provocative words and actions.
Li made the comment in response to being asked about the likelihood of a meeting between Chinese and Japanese leaders on the sidelines of the G20 summit this September in St.Petersburg. He’s underlined that Japan has ignored historical facts and taken a defiant stance on the issue of disputed territory, through a series of provocative actions. He says China-Japan relations are in serious difficulties because of the Diaoyu Islands issue and that the Chinese side is not to blame. He’s added that China has called for dialogue to resolve the dispute and improve bilateral relations, but that the Japanese side has refused to address solutions to the problem.
"A meeting between leaders is not simply for the sake of shaking hands and taking pictures, but to resolve problems. If Japan wants to arrange a meeting to resolve problems, they should stop with the empty talk and doing stuff for show. Japan needs to broaden its mindset, face historical facts and take concrete actions to remove obstacles." said Li Bbaodong, Chinese vice foreign minister.
