China's top diplomat Wang Yi said relations with Tokyo must be "normalized" during talks with former Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, the first such meeting since ties plummeted over Taiwan last year. The exchange signals a possible thaw in the strained relationship, and observers are watching whether it leads to renewed high-level engagement between Beijing and Tokyo.

China’s top diplomat Wang Yi met a visiting Japanese business delegation and delivered a high-level warning, a message reported by the South China Morning Post. The remarks come amid continued friction between Beijing and Tokyo, and signal that China is using economic and business channels to press its political concerns directly with Japan’s corporate leadership.

The comments have drawn attention in South Korea, where older-age parenting remains a sensitive and widely debated topic.
