Tech Rivalry Shadows Japan-China Summit
TOKYO: Japan and China may become more welcoming, but the technology competition is maintaining tensions as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe heads off to meet President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday.
Leaders are likely to provide improved ties after Beijing, occupied by its commercial struggle with the United States, rejected anti-Japanese rhetoric and Mr. Abe sought allies In defense of free trade.
However, the Japanese government and business leaders express opinions in line with Recent representation of Vice President Mike Pence of China as a nation seeking technological domination "by any necessary means", including "forced technology transfer" [and] Intellectual property theft. "

China is "making unacceptable demands and seeking to exclude foreign companies," said a senior Japanese official.
One response, the official said, would be to block Chinese technology companies from global markets.
Japan is studying restrictions on Chinese network equipment manufacturers Huawei Technologies Co. and
ZTE
Corp.
before the launch of next-generation technology aimed at accelerating data from mobile phones. Some in the industry say that Tokyo is looking for ways to ensure that the main mobile phone providers can avoid Chinese equipment, in line with the current policies in the United States.
Countering China is the goal of a regular meeting between the United States, Japan and the European Union that began last year at the insistence of Tokyo. At the most recent meeting at the end of September, the ministers of the three, including the US Trade Representative. UU Robert Lighthizer, published a statement qualifying China's practices and agreed to strengthen the World Trade Organization (usually a target of President Trump's criticism) to address Chinese violations. .
China and Japan, the second and third largest economies in the world, respectively, share deep economic ties, and China is Japan's largest trading partner. Many Japanese technology companies, especially those that manufacture industrial robots, semiconductors and electronic components, depend heavily on sales to China.
But from Tokyo's perspective, the relationship has been tainted by cases in which Chinese companies, such as those who make bullet trains, I learned from Japanese technology through joint ventures, and then I used it to confront Japan in global markets.
China and Japan are competing to export bullet train technology to developing countries, but can cooperate in a Thai project. Above, trains in production in March in Tangshan, China.

"Japan has repeatedly pointed out China's problems, such as intellectual property rights and overcapacity" caused by subsidies to state-owned enterprises, Foreign Minister Taro Kono said Tuesday. "On several levels we want China to respond appropriately."
China rejects the idea that it imposes predatory restrictions on foreign companies, saying that they freely choose to enter the Chinese market and benefit from access to local technology.
Chinese experts on foreign affairs said Abe needed to find a balance between the US. UU., Whose army protects Japan and China.
"Abe wants the US to be comfortable, but China is very important, both economically and diplomatically, he will lose freedom if he gets too close to the United States," said Jia Qingguo, dean of the International School of International Studies. Peking University
Japanese officials said Abe would accentuate the positive on his trip to Beijing. It is the first time in nearly six years of his current term as prime minister that he visits China for a two-way summit, although he previously did it for international meetings.
The two countries have recently avoided open fighting over security issues, including the disputed islands in the East China Sea. During a burst of 2012The angry crowd in China plundered Japan's businesses and threw eggs at the Tokyo embassy.
"Japan has been a beneficiary of the trade war between the United States and China. The Chinese government has been very proactive in developing good relations with Japan, "said Yuqing Xing, professor of economics at the National Institute of Policy Studies in Tokyo.
China even sent a pair of crested ibis to the Japanese island of Sado to help replenish the rare bird's population.
At the summit, companies from both countries commit to signing agreements to cooperate in third countries, including A high-speed project in Thailand.Japanese officials said.
China has said that the Thai project is an important part of Mr. Xi's belt and road initiative to build better trains, ports and highways in Eurasia. It is likely that Mr. Abe praises the general idea but avoids general support from Belt and Road, that Tokyo's fears could cement China's dominance in places like Southeast Asia.
