Japan eager to hold foreign ministerial talks with China

Why bother, they will only lie to you, talk down to you and treat you as a subservient tributary on the periphery of their empire yet again.

The 2 leaders should meet to commemorate 50 years since diplomatic relations were established. Both countries have benefited immensely.

As long as Japan continues to be guided by the USA and hosts the occupation of us military in Japan, China will never truly listen to Japan .

Regardless of the U.S. in Japan or not, China will never truly listen to Japan (or anyone else for that matter). And they wonder why nobody respects them.

Eager to hold foreign ministerial talks with China

Begging to hold foreign ministerial talks with China

No country in the world is "begging" anything from China. Seeking dialogue is characteristic of civilzed developed countries.

Is the Kishida government read to kowtow? There is nothing to talk about. Just find good ways to decouple from China as completely as possible.

Have you decoupled yourself from China?

Japan and China are both very difficult countries to deal with when it comes to dialogue either domestically or internationally

"Civilized" is determined by behavior. Not length of time,

Japan since 1945 has not been "difficult" at all. Right now, China is "difficult" for the entire world.
