China asks for better updates

CHINA asked Japan yesterday for prompt and complete information on Japan's nuclear crisis after Tokyo was criticized for its handling of the situation.

Japan's neighbors have all offered help and expressed sympathy for its plight.

However, there has been some criticism at home and abroad at the level of information provided by Tokyo and its handling of the nuclear crisis, especially in its early stages.

Japan's foreign minister said after talks with his Chinese and South Korean counterparts in Kyoto that Beijing was concerned about information-sharing.

"I said we shared information as best as we can, but that I would work to strengthen that," Takeaki Matsumoto said after the brief talks, which had been scheduled before the earthquake and tsunami devastated the country.

In the talks, the three nations also agreed to work together to increase nuclear-power safety, though they gave no details on how they would accomplish this.
