After Wen, Hu is visit Japan, too

It seems this year will be a ice breaking year for both leaders of Japan and China, during yesterday's meeting between China's top diplomat Tang Jiaxuan and Japan's Komei Party president Oda, an agreement has be reached that After Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visits Japan in April, President Hu Jintao will go to Tokyo in June. Wen and Hu's visits will mark the first visit from Chinese top leaders in over 6 years. And Hu's visit will also draw worldwide attention, last time when Chinese President Jiang Zemin visited Japan, his harsh criticize over Japan's World War II wherever he went was so unpopular with Japanese people that even today he was partly blamed for the frozen relationship between the two most important countries in Asia.

Certainly, the Chinese are smart at bargaining,too. Even without a media report about weather Japanese Primer Shinzo Abe will have to agree to visit China some time this year and not to visit Yasukuni Shrine publicly and Officially, As Tang Jiaxuan requested. I am certainly in exchange Abe will have to visit China and say NO to Yasukuni for the time being. (weather Abe will visit Yasukuni sneakily and unofficially like he did last time in April, 2006 will be a different story, as long as no media reports and no Chinese leaders know)
