Chinese Relations with Japan

THROUGHOUT much of modern history, the way China andJapan relate to one another has fundamentally shaped their respective regional roles and the contours of the East international system. The phenomenal Asian economic miracle over the past three decades or so has started to shift the center of gravity of the global political economy from the Atlantic to the Pacific, prompting many to predict the dawning of a century. But for some, the denouement of power rivalry between the Atlantic and Pacific will be largely determined by how China and Japan work out their relationship.' Sino-Japanese relations take on an importance in affairs at least comparable to that of Franco-German relations in determining European affairs. Yet curiously, the blossoming literature on Asia-Pacific regionalism has tended to overlook the impact of the relations between the two most important indigenous powers, China andJapan.2 This article examines Chinese relations with Japan in the context of efforts of regional economic cooperation. Two premises underlie the analysis. First, the bilateral relationship has a great bearing on their respective postures toward attempts at regional cooperation. Second, the pattern of their dyadic interaction greatly shapes the pace and structure of Asia-Pacific multilateral arrangement
