Are they blaming Covid for the "hiatus"? Seems like a lot of other stuff has been going on (cough ..Taiwan .. er Russia ..cough..)

Why would Putin's War or Taiwan impact China-Japan relations in this day and age?

Are they blaming Covid for the "hiatus"?

Yes they are, since Xi himself did not leave China for three years because of the pandemic.

Talking is good, but should build up its force and now.

There is absolutely nothing you cannot blame COVID for, especially here in Japan.

China has video conferencing. Japan has fax machines. There lies the reason they couldn’t communicate during Covid.

The PLA is so afraid of the SDF so they have no choice but to invite them to China so that their ships will not end up sinking in the Senkakus.

In contrast China always threatens to invade Taiwan and kill their innocent women and children.
