FORMER Ambassador to China Yuji Miyamoto has emerged as a possible successor to Shinichi Nishimiya, who died on Sunday just days after being appointed Japan's top envoy to China.
Miyamoto, 66, with his connections with Chinese senior officials, may be the best candidate for the post at a time when tensions between the two neighbors are mounting, Japanese media said.
As ambassador to China from 2006 to 2010, Miyamoto was tasked with mending fences when bilateral relations markedly deteriorated after then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's repeated visits to the Yasukuni Shrine to honor dead soldiers, including war criminals.
