The economic relationship bet. China and Japan has been negatively affected by the cold political relationship bet. the two nations: In trade: Japan’s share has been down 3 years in a row, -0.8% in 2002, -0.7% in 2003, and -1.2% bet. 1-11, 2004. After 11 years of being the top trading partner for China, it has gone to #3 in terms of the total trading volume with China (after EU and the US in 2004; In investment: Japan has been surpassed by S. Korea in terms of both actual and attentive investment in China; In gov. loan: Japan has reduced their gov. loan to China by almost 70% from 3-4 years ago, and from 2004, the call for stopping the loan/aid to China completely within Japan become more louder. The right wing activists in Japan resort to violence to scare off the Japanese who dare to speak out.

But the key point is: until the day when Japan, as a nation, can face up their historical crime and self-examine themselves, the relation bet. Japan and other Eastern Asian countries, not just China, can never be normal.
