EXPLAINER: What's behind strained China-Japan relationsTOKYO (AP) — Japan and China on Thursday mark the 50th anniversary of the 1972 normalization of their ties, but there isn't much of a celebratory mood. Improved ties between Asia’s two biggest economies are considered vital to the region's stability and prosperity, but they remain at odds over disputed East China Sea islands and China’s growing military and economic assertiveness in the region. The lifting of economic sanctions imposed on China by Japan, the U.S., and Europe in response to the Tiananmen Square incident has become one of the causes of the current global unrest. Japan was the first to do so. That relationship was always going to be more Frenemies than Friends. AP remains the petulant child, as it just can't bring itself to even mention Nixon in historical background. Grow up, already.
