"Normalization of Japan-China Relations: The Challenge of Kakuei Tanaka, Masayoshi Ohira, and Bureaucrats" Ryuji Hattori Price: ¥880 #RyujiHattori #Books #BOOK #Nonfiction #Education In September 1972, diplomatic relations were established between China and Japan after nearly 30 years of post-war conflict. This normalization negotiation condensed the points of contention in Japan-China relations that would continue to be debated, including historical recognition, war reparations, the Taiwan issue, and the Senkaku Islands. Furthermore, it was attempted under the Cold War, while painstakingly maintaining relations with the United States. This book excavates this process from diplomatic records, interviews, and other sources, focusing on political leadership and meticulously tracing the actions of politicians and bureaucrats. A work of ambition that explores modern history.
