China is urging Japan to support its goal of unification with Taiwan, Chinese state media reported on Wednesday.
Beijing¡¦s top official on Taiwanese issues was quoted as telling visiting Japanese member of parliament Otohiko Endo that unification with Taiwan would bring advantages to Tokyo.
Wang Yi (¤ý¼Ý), head of China¡¦s Taiwan Affairs Office, didn¡¦t say what those benefits were, according to the Chinese reports.
According to the reports, Wang called the Japanese public¡¦s lack of consensus on the benefits of unification ¡§regrettable.¡¨
Wang is a former ambassador to Tokyo.
China hoped that Japan would ¡§express understanding and support¡¨ for unification, Wang was quoted as saying.
His remarks follow the resumption of dialogue between Taiwan and China aimed at strengthening economic links while avoiding political differences.
