Easy for him to say.

Beijing Relaxes “The Chinese Charm Offensive” Against Japan
Resumes rare earth shipments to Japanese high-tech industries. (The four Japanese hostages it took earlier have still not been released, however.)
On a somewhat-related topic, there's one irony I've been meaning to mention regarding Taiwan's involvement in the Senkaku affair. Taiwan's Chinese Nationalist Party will enthusiastically spend tens of thousands of dollars to defend the "right" of a Taiwanese citizen to hoist the R.O.C. flag on Japanese soil.
Yet that same party is willing to spend MILLIONS to prevent Taiwanese citizens from hoisting that very same flag on their OWN SOIL (at least when Chinese Communist Party apparachiks come-a-callin').
Curious, is it not?
