Sino-Japanese "anniversary" marked

Some extracts, an interesting one here:
Quote:
The long-standing territorial dispute bubbled over again last week when the Japanese government decided to nationalize some of the islands, buying them from a private Japanese owner.
And what seems (to me anyway) a typical burp:
Quote:
The dispute has sent China-exposed Japanese stocks down heavily on the Tokyo stock market, raising concerns about any wider impact on economic and trade ties between the two countries. Platinum prices also fell, partly on the disruption to Japanese car plants in China, traders said. The precious metal is used as an auto catalyst.

With new leadership.
