Don’t stand with US like Australia, Japan told

TOKYO: If Japan wants to maintain sound economic and trade relations with China, it better not stand with and fawn on the United States as Australia did amid escalating China-US diplomatic and trade tensions, Chinese experts warned.

The Japanese government should not follow the US, like Australia had done, if the Asian country still wanted to reap the dividends of the Chinese market, Bai Ming, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, told the Global Times.
