Japan’s former PM Yoshihide Suga strikes conciliatory tone towards China, with eye on his legacy
- Suga told the Nikkei that China is an important neighbour, but Japan and the US would speak out against its efforts to change the status quo in the region
- This is in contrast to Shinzo Abe’s recent comments, and analysts suggest it could stem from LDP infighting and efforts to rehabilitate Suga’s reputation
