Sino-Japanese relations refer to the diplomatic, economic, and cultural interactions between China and Japan. These two countries share a long history, marked by periods of cooperation and conflict, including the Second Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s. Today, they are major trading partners, with significant economic ties that influence the broader Asia-Pacific region. Despite their economic interdependence, tensions often arise due to historical grievances, territorial disputes over areas like the Senkaku Islands, and differing political ideologies. Both nations continue to engage in dialogue to address these issues while seeking to strengthen their bilateral relationship through trade and cultural exchanges.
