Comments by Japanese foreign minister, Toshimitsu Motegi
Japan and China has endured a bit of a rocky relationship as of late, with China president Xi having called off his visit to Japan back in July amid the Hong Kong saga.

If anything, this is a positive for both sides as it may see tourism activity pick up. However, virus developments will continue to pose a risk in the meantime.
