PM Takaichi says Japan ‘always open’ to dialogue with China

TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Wednesday she is “always open” to dialogue with China amid a diplomatic row between Tokyo and Beijing over comments she made about Taiwan. “China is an important neighbor for Japan, and we need to build constructive and stable relationships,” Takaichi told a news conference. “Japan is always open to dialogue with China. We’re not shutting our door.” China and Japan are enmeshed in a spat over Takaichi’s suggestion in November that Tokyo could intervene militarily in any attack on the self-ruled democratic island.
