福田首相訪中を終える：Conclusion of Fukuda's Visit to China

残る問題の先送り：Postponement of Unresolved Problems

本日付の「Japan Times」の記事（下のリンク参照）によれば、福田首相は訪中を終えて帰国したが、今回は「春をもたらす訪問」といわれ、最初に温家宝首相に会い、その後胡錦濤主席とも会談したが、両首脳とも強調したのは日中共益の関係という点であった。
しかし実際には東シナ海のガス田開発の問題や台湾に対する基本的スタンスの問題などの懸案は、今回は両国の違いを出さなかったが、未解決のまま残されたといえる。
したがって、この日中の友好ムードが長期的に続くものかどうかは今後とも注意して見ていく必要があろう。

The Japan Times (12/31):
"Fukuda keeps thaw with China on track"

According to today's Japan Times article (see the link above), Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda's visit to China has just been concluded and termed "the coming of spring," meaning friendlier relations between Japan and China after Fukuda's meetings first with Prime Minister Wen and then with President Hu Jintao, who both emphasized common interest between the two countries.
Actually, however, there are some serious problems yet to be resolved such as the gas and oil exploration rights in the East China Sea as well as the fundamental stance toward Taiwan, although the Japanese and Chinese leaders have agreed not to make any issue out of those differences at least for the time being.
Thus, whether current trends toward better relations between Japan and China will continue in the long run remains to be seen.
