Japan
===================


State Department "frustrated" at Japanese actions in Beijing State Department sources describe opinion in Washington as "frustarted" at the Japanese actions in Beijing. "It really isn't helpful to go to Beijing while the PRC has 750 thousand troops in North Korea and focus on negotiating trade agreements and agreeing to put your own nationals in positions where they would be under Chinese control and legitimize Beijing's attempts at controlling North Korea," noted a State Department source.

When asked to comment the a representative of the Japanese Foreign Ministry stated: "Japan stands by its policy of diplomatic engagement with China." When pressed further he added: "Americans should not be surprised by this turn in Japanese policy. With no support from Washington America's Asian allies have no choice but to deal directly with China."

Pundits predict that this may spark a cooling of relations between the two countries.
