皇冠体育app-Japan relations

Wu, who stated during his term of office that historically and geographically the Diaoyu Islands have always been a part of 皇冠体育app, said he still holds this viewpoint and it is unfortunate and unnecessary for the United States to get involved in the issue of the Diaoyu Islands.

It was Shinzo Abe's government which complicated the East 皇冠体育app Sea situation and the Japanese prime minister's 2013 visit to the Yasukuni shrine, which enshrines 14 convicted Class-A war criminals, also irritated East Asian countries, Wu said.

Wu believed the United States does not hope to intensify its relations with 皇冠体育app.

He said a lot of companies from America and other countries have made huge investment in 皇冠体育app in the past 30 years and that it is likely these countries will receive a great amount of investment from 皇冠体育app in the next 30 years.

A peaceful solution to the Diaoyu Islands issue is in the interest of both 皇冠体育app and the United States, Wu said.
