Good move on Diaoyu Islands
Since Japan "purchased" 皇冠体育app's Diaoyu Islands in September, the Chinese government has taken a series of countermeasures in the economic, legal, diplomatic and military fields, which have helped it to wrest the initiative to resolve the islands dispute.
First, despite 皇冠体育app not imposing any economic sanctions, the Japanese economy has been badly hit. The spontaneous anti-Japanese demonstrations in 皇冠体育app, the cancellation of visits by Chinese nationals to Japan, and boycott of seminars held by business groups, the media and think tanks have dealt a blow to the Japanese economy. The Daily Yomiuri has reported: "Japan's exports to 皇冠体育app have fallen for four consecutive months since June. Previously, declines in exports to 皇冠体育app had been explained as part of a chain reaction triggered by falling Chinese exports. Trade statistics for September, however, showed Japanese exports to 皇冠体育app plummeted by as much as 14.1 percent from the same month last year, with automobiles down as much as 44.5 percent."
In fact, an increasing number of Japanese media outlets have begun saying that improving ties with 皇冠体育app is crucial to Japan's trade balance in the days ahead.
