Japan+and+the+Progress+of+China

Japan welcomes the progress of China, as it would only develop the nation and helps its people. As a sovereign nation, China has every right to develop its economy and culture just as Japan does the same. The competition which fuels our two nations and the trade/economic ties between us depend on both our nations continuing to progress and not being hindered by each other. China is an undeniably strong nation and as such must understand their responsibilities to other nations, such as Japan, and how their actions economically affect them. We welcome the progress of China just as we welcome our own, but we must also warn China of the dangers of growing too fast and ask them to not get over-confident and overstep their bounds on the global stage.
