China doesn't believe in fair trade. The proof has been in our face the last 25-30 yrs.

We have seen China play this game many times. When trouble happens domestically within their country in the near future, China will change it's face again.
NK and China use the same play book of deceit, unreliability and untrustworthiness!!

This is not a China or a U.S. issue. When you are winning, it is the free market principles to be emphasized. Open up. Free trade.
When you are not winning or developing, you protect the market. Tariffs and domestic industries.
It’s just basic economics, for those of you obsessed with China.

If that's "basic economics," China does the opposite, as it only opens up when it is losing, not winning. And things are going badly for China at the moment, with slowing growth, high unemployment, tech restrictions, catastrophic demographics, international opprobrium due to its theft/aggression/support for Russia, etc.
China's strategy is:
When losing: Open up -- just a little -- and seek partners (employing the usual lies of "win-win cooperation," market access that will never materialize, etc.) in an effort to improve the poor economy
When winning: Break as many rules as you can get away with, and turn the screw on all the partners that helped you to the winning position, in an effort to destroy those partners and increase the power of the CCP

Since America has thrown all their allies under the bus in trump’s America first strategy, it’s probably a safer bet for Japan to ally with China. America is on the decline and will likely not be the global leader in the next few years.

The only country losing allies and trust is United States of America, and opening up more to China for Japan is the best strategy for the prosperity of the continent. The world finally is waking up to the true aggressive nature of Washington, which is not sustainable in Asia. We don't want to see conflict wars in this continent after the disasters created by the White House in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
For four decades China has rose to economic significance in relative peace, unlike United States of America. China is the model the world needs to study and replicate.
The only military risk that we face from China is if we continue as a proxy for the US in its endless wars

Utterly ridiculous.
No-one wants to replicate China, apart from other brutal autocracies.

A China, Japan, South Korea economic alliance would be an incredible economic force. Include Vietnam and bring all the band members back together.

"China seeks cooperation with Japan" screams the headlines. But, isn't the Japanese delegation VISITING China?? The Japanese going to China??

The new idiocracy in the US is trying to replicate russia right now.... you know to make US great again but trump need 24 hours to do so...

No surprises here. The warlords in Wall Street getting desperate, trying to scramble their delegates in Asia to spread the manipulation of narrative, mounting the China hysteria.
Over the years, China has emerged as Asia key trading partners through training programs, infrastructure projects and other forms of cooperation, forging strong ties rooted in openness, pragmatism, and win-win collaboration. Asia needs shared prosperity and mutual respect, not a one-sided power play.
A reminder that under the current defense strategy, Japan aims to eventually double its annual military spending to around 10 trillion yen ($63 billion), making it the world’s No. 3 military spender after the United States and China.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Asia doesn't need China's power play.

Supporting a Free Taiwan is not acting as a proxy of the US.
Fos
Asia does not need another war, Ukraine or Middle East style, just to please the greed of American investors in Wall Street. That's for sure!
TaiwanIsNotChina
Tell it to the PRC. It is making preparations to wipe out 24 million people.

Trump's serious about reciprocal/matching tariffs, hardly a surprise or a 'row', rather it's common sense. Market access has to be fair and balanced, including non-tariff trade barriers and subsidies, otherwise it's not 'fair' trade.

You wrote the same pitch last week!! I get it now, copy and paste from the CCP handbook!!
And now Mr Wentao wants Japan to hold hands? Ha, ha, ha!! You should write for SNL!!

Tell China you will help it with complimentary tariffs against the US, when China admits publicly that the Senkaku Islands are Japanese territory and China relinquishes all claims in perpetuity.
Peter14
Yes, study China for what NOT to do in your own country.
Single party rule? NO.
Dictatorship like Xi? Not happening!
Communist party of? Thanks we decline!

The only handbooks here, are the military dispatches of the US department of (dis)information. After all, the historical records of Wall Street speak for themselves.
USA = greed and guns, warmongering in Asia
China = trade and prosperity in the continent

China seeks Japan’s help in countering big brother Trump‘s bullying tactics, but it will not abate its daily military incursions into Japanese air space and territorial waters.
