Well, to quote china, "it is an internal matter." Not for discussion.

There are these people called "interpreters." They've been around a while.

Who believes that? In which language did the ministers communicate? One they are both perfect in , as those sophisticated and delicate matters would require? So which one could that ever be?

A step in the right direction. Hopefully we can have friendly ties with both the US and China.

This just means the situation has become severe enough to require a hotline as the US and USSR established after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

good move.
keep in contact.
Japan needs China,China needs Japan.
be a a good neigbour,do a good business.
stop warmongering talk and actions,scrap all dark past and pathetic yasukuni visits.
nobody needs war here and nobody needs any military conflict.
good luck keep in touch and cooperate as two equal partners.

China has a habit of ignoring the red phone line. Extremely dangerous of them.
