Japan-China relationship
　Japan and China have a very long close relationship in the history. For many years, we have introduced Chinese culture and copied it. On the other hand we sometimes fought against that country. In the World WarⅡ, Japan invaded into China and continued the war for a long time, but being finally defeated. In the last 60 years, Japan has compensated a lot for the damage. After the war, Japan has highly developed and advanced into China in the field of the economy. Many industries including small and medium sized companies found a market gap opportunity in China. China has accomplished rapid development as well and got beyond Japan economically. Accordingly China produced so many rich people, who dress in wealthy clothes and do expensive shopping in the top-brand boutiques. Now Japan and China are closely related partners, standing on the spirit of reciprocity.

Accidentally there happened invasion by a Chinese fishing boat into the Japanese territory, the area of sea around Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. Most of the Japanese got angry against the Chinese illegal action, the arrogant attitude and also the cowardice of the Japanese government. The relationship between both countries got worse quickly. The two governments are trying to improve the air, but the matter is very complicated and deep-rooted. So it would take a long time to repair the strategic –reciprocal relationship.
