China's "new thinking" on Japan / Peter Hays Gries - 2005

Following the publication of an article in a Chinese journal in 2002 that suggested there was a need for new thinking on Japan, there was considerable public debate in China about relations with Japan. This article suggests that China has firmly rejected the idea of a form of rapprochement with Japan despite the two countries increasing economic ties. Political and security relations are still at risk from widespread anti Japanese sentiment at the grassroots level.
