Beijing, China (AHN) – After being informed that the detained Chinese fishing boat captain will be detained in Japan for an additional ten days, China retaliates by announcing through its Foreign Ministry “China has already suspended bilateral exchanges at and above the provincial or ministerial levels,”

Not only this, but China has also halted talks with Japan on increased civil flights and expanding aviation rights, adding that a suspension of the bilateral meeting on coal production has also been postponed.
