Japan rejects Beijing protests
(08-20 15:37)
Tokyo has rejected Chinese protests over the raising of Japanese flags on one of the disputed Diaoyu islands yesterday, but called for progress in "mutually beneficial" relations.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said neither Tokyo nor Beijing has any interest in seeing overall relations affected by the dispute. He called on Beijing to ensure the safety of Japanese nationals in China after anti-Japan protests broke out yesterday targeting Japanese businesses, restaurants and cars.
