China refuses to apologise for anti-Japan protests
China’s Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing again refused to apologise today to Tokyo for anti-Japan protests in China last month that damaged Japanese diplomatic compounds and businesses.
However, Li and his Japanese counterpart, Nobutaka Machimura, did acknowledge there had been “some improvement” in rocky relations between the two - agreeing the region’s stability depended upon their mending ties, Japan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hatsuhisa Takashima told reporters.
