Xi reply to Abe Shrine visit is next test for bilateral ties

From Bloomberg News:
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s reaction to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit
to a shrine that honors wartime leaders will determine whether Asia’s top two economies
come closer to a hostile incident. …“It is going to aggravate the already tense situation,”
Dorothy Solinger, a professor of politics at the University of California, Irvine,
said of Abe’s visit, which drew a written protest from the Chinese Foreign Ministry
within an hour. “Anti-Japanese protests and popular -- though at least indirectly
regime-instigated -- boycotts could ensue,” Solinger said. Such a reaction “is more
likely than military or official economic moves,” she said.
