Sino-Japanese relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thereafter, in a plan for improving political relations, China requested that the Japanese government not be hostile toward it, not obstruct any effort to restore normal relations between itself and Japan, and not join in any conspiracy to create two Chinas. Relations remained complicated, however, because of Japan's diplomatic and substantial economic ties with the Republic of China and the presence of a powerful pro-Kuomintang faction in the LDP. Japanese efforts to reach a compromise with China over this issue failed, and the talks were broken off in September 1975. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sino-Japanese_relations   (3130 words)

Anglo-Japanese relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1 Chronology of Anglo-Japanese relations (Nichi-Ei kankei 日英関係) Japanese Students at Cambridge University in the Meiji Era, 1868-1912: Pioneers for the Modernization of Japan, by Noboru Koyama, translated by Ian Ruxton, (Lulu Press, September 2004, ISBN 1411612566). During the Sakoku period (1641-1853) there were no relations, but the treaty of 1854 saw the resumption of ties which, despite the hiatus of the Second World War, remain very strong in the present day. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anglo-Japanese_relations   (938 words)

04cortazzi.html Japanese companies, partly for practical reasons such as proximity to markets, were in the 1970s beginning to show an interest in investing in Britain especially in the area of electronics such as television sets and audio equipment. The British and Japanese governments have both supported the Americans over Iraq, but large segments of opinion in both countries remain highly critical of the war and it is possible that while British and Japanese interests in relation to the Middle East and to America are at present similar they could diverge in the future. Many Japanese had a poor view of the British economy which was afflicted by inflation and of the British work force which was thought to be hide-bound by outdated work practices and dominated by unreconstructed unions. www.japansociety.org.uk /lectures/04cortazzi.html   (6375 words)

The History of Anglo-Japanese Relations, 1600-2000 Ishii is especially concerned to highlight how by recruiting well-educated staff Japanese banks and trading operations were able to develop strong core competences that enabled them to compete with their British rivals. This volume covering economic and business relations demonstrates that there continues to be an extensive interest in this theme. In particular, the Japanese would appear to have been much more focused, while British management lacked precision. www.eh.net /bookreviews/library/0588.shtml   (1108 words)

Review of apan's Imperial Diplomacy: Consuls, Treaty Ports, and War in China 1895-1938 Initially the Japanese Foreign Ministry occupied a premiere position among Japan's new government institutions and was the chief agency responsible for relations with the West. This disunity of Japanese jurisdiction in Manchuria is documented for the period 1905 through 1928, and she then turns to Consul-General Hayashi Kyujiro and problems of jurisdiction during the period 1928 to 1931 in Fengtian. The Gaimusho was developed as a Japanese variation of a model of diplomatic bureaucracy borrowed from the West; nevertheless it maintained a distinct Japanese character, including professionalism, collegial ties, and the integrated administration of its jurisdictions both at home and abroad. www.ess.uwe.ac.uk /GENOCIDE/reviewsw106.htm   (2433 words)

Articles - Foreign relations of Japan Japan's relations with Russia are hampered by the two sides' inability to resolve their territorial dispute over the four islands that make up the Northern Territories (Kuriles), which the U.S.S.R. seized towards the end of World War II. Japanese foreign policy has aimed to promote peace and prosperity for the Japanese people, and arguably for humanity in general, by working closely with the West and supporting the United Nations. Japanese ties with (Republic of Korea) South Korea have improved since an exchange of visits in the mid-1980s by their political leaders. www.ezorange.com /articles/Foreign_relations_of_Japan   (1895 words)

04eijisekilecture.html In his statement in Parliament on 18 August, 1921, Prime Minister Lloyd George extolled the achievement of the Japanese Navy saying that the protection by the Japanese warships of the passage of 500,000 ANZAC troops and 1,000,000 Indian troops through the Pacific and the Indian Ocean was one of the determining factors of the war. The pitiful quality of Japanese leaders was the result of a long process of elimination by assassination and other forms of suppression in keeping with the increasing ascendancy of the military power in politics after the 1920s. The Japanese were also amazed at the British navigational skills as shown by the speed of their destroyers entering and leaving the harbour. www.japansociety.org.uk /lectures/04eijisekilecture.html   (5133 words)

Copyright Nish's discussion of non-official perceptions of the international environment is rather spotty, and the relationship between Japanese society and foreign policy remains a topic only sporadically addressed. Relations with the United States were only one facet of Japan's international attention, and a relatively unimportant one for much of the prewar period. Japanese perspectives of the Soviet Union need also to be made more explicit, including fears of communist agents at work in Japan. www.ess.uwe.ac.uk /genocide/reviewsw185.htm   (2132 words)
