  Minister for Foreign Affairs Nobutaka Machimura and Kyoto University Professor Terumasa Nakanishi discuss Sino-Japanese relations in "A Frank Japan-China Relationship."Heralding what he calls "the rise of the first heavyweight foreign minister in some time," Nakanishi expresses his hope for the emergence of foreign policy based firmly on "national principles."
  
  Machimura explains the basic position that he has adhered to since his appointment in September 2004, which is that of speaking frankly and conducting a strategic and rational diplomacy grounded in the national interest with the goal of conveying Japan's thoughts to other countries as clearly as possible.
  
  Commenting on Sino-Japanese relations as one of the issues on Japan's diplomatic agenda, Machimura says that Diet members from previous generations had a tendency to unconditionally submit to demands from China.While this attitude helped Beijing and Tokyo normalize diplomatic ties some 30 years ago, at present, he notes, "Japan must take its national interest into account and say the things that need to be said."In response to criticism from some who had said that the long-awaited Japan-China summit that took place in the fall of 2004 was meaningless because of the prominent clash of opinions between the two countries, Machimura argues that it is extremely important for them to hash out their opinions in order to discover why the differences exist.
  
  He adds that it is crucial to step up exchange in various fields based on the national interests of both countries. ("Iken o butsukeau Nit-Chu kankei," Voice, March 2005.)

  Terumasa Nakanishi, professor of international politics at the University of Kyoto, said both China and Japan wanted India to be on their side."The two countries are waging a tug-of-war with strategic diplomacy," Nakanishi said.
  ...
  Japanese businesses have begun to look to India as a promising window of opportunity for investment following anti-Japan demonstrations in China this month, Nakanishi said.
  
  "The anti-demonstrations in China prompted Japanese firms to think seriously of India as a place for investment," he said.
  
  Japan, a close ally of Washington, could also play the role of mediator to help the United States forge closer economic ties with India to counterbalance the influence of China, he added.
