Abe's visit to Beijing underscores the warming of ties between China and Japan

Li spoke to reporters later, Li said that during the visit 500 trade agreements worth $ 18 billion had been signed between Chinese and Japanese companies, which showed the "bright future" for cooperation between the parties.
Abe, who has been accompanied by a business delegation of 500 people, expressed hopes for a closer link and a change in relations from an era of "competition to cooperation", an apparent reference to divisions that until recently have silenced the Japanese business interests China.
Abe is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later on Friday, possibly to consolidate the stable recovery in relations that peaked in 2012 amid a dispute over the islands of the East China Sea. The ties have also been pursued by the resentment of the Chinese over the invasion and occupation of Japan during World War II and a political, military and economic rivalry for influence in Asia and beyond.
