| Description | Chinese and Japanese diplomats on Monday ended two days of negotiations in Beijing, seemingly no closer to defusing the disputes over history and territory that have sent relations between the two countries spiraling downward in recent weeks, even to the point of affecting Tokyo's stock market.
The visiting Japanese foreign minister, Nobutaka Machimura, on Monday met with a senior Chinese diplomat, Tang Jiaxuan, but did not come away with the apology Japan has demanded for damage done to Japanese diplomatic missions and department stores in sometimes violent anti-Japanese demonstrations across China over the past two weeks.
"Primary responsibility lies on the mobs who inflicted damage on Japanese installations," said Hatsuhisa Takashima, the Japanese foreign minister's press secretary, at a press briefing after the meeting between the Machimura and Tang, a senior government adviser who served as China's foreign minister and ambassador to Tokyo.
"We cannot accept the notion that violence is acceptable because of this history issue," Machimura said.
