CHINA yesterday quashed reports that Chinese customs agents were delaying clearance of Japanese goods.
"We have noticed the reports, which, according to relevant departments, were inconsistent with the facts," Hong Lei, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular press briefing, in response to Japanese media claiming that goods exported to China from Japanese companies were delayed during customs clearance, a supposed effect of the two countries' dispute over the Diaoyu Islands.
Hong said Chinese customs agents have been clearing goods exported to China from Japanese companies according to due process, and implementing normal regular inspections.
He also criticized Japan for bringing about the severe situation of China-Japan relations and souring trade and economic ties, and urged Japan to correct its mistake "with sincerity."
"It is Japan that should bear responsibility for the soured bilateral economic and trade relations," Hong said.
China and Japan, as the world's second and third-largest economies, are important trading partners. China sees importance to trade and economic cooperation with Japan.
"Japan should correct its mistakes with sincerity, properly handle the problems and create a good environment for the recovery of bilateral cooperation," Hong said.
As for Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba's recent remarks that rebutted China's claim to the Diaoyu Islands, Hong urged Japan to realize that its provoking actions and words are wrong, and to maintain the overall situation of bilateral ties with "concrete actions."
Hong said China has noted Japan's recent remarks of hoping to quell dissent as soon as possible and to avoid further destabilization of ties.
"If the Japanese side would match its words with deeds, it should realize that its provoking actions and words are wrong," Hong said.
