Sino Japanese Relations

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

In this second of our special programmes live from Japan and China, we take a look at the relationship between two countries with a close trading tradition but also a fierce rivalry. Along the way we visit a snack factory, two universities, a shopping centre, a group of islands over which both countries lay claim and a communism themed restaurant. Mark Whittaker's in Tokyo with Yuka Hayashi of the Wall Street Journal, while Rob Young's in our Beijing bureau with Charles Yin from the China Japan CEO Forum.
