China's foreign policy toward Japan has evolved significantly over time. Initially, China was not open to foreign influence before 1989 but established diplomatic relations with Japan in 1972. Since then, trade between the two countries has increased substantially, driven by China's economic growth, trade liberalization, and Japanese investment in China. While economic cooperation is strong due to complementary industries and geographic proximity, political tensions remain due to lingering historical issues and nationalist sentiments on both sides.
