Paradoxically, Japan provides massive amounts of development aid to
China, despite Japan's clear perception of China as a prime
competitor in the Asia-Pacific region. This clearly written and
comprehensive volume provides an overview of the way Japan's aid to
China has developed since 1979. It explains the shifts that have
taken place in Japan's China policy in the 1990s against the
background of international changes and domestic changes in both
countries, and offers new insights into the way Japanese aid policy
making functions, thereby providing an alternative view of Japanese
policy making that might be applied to other areas. Through a
series of case studies, it shows Japan's increasing willingness to
use development aid to China for strategic goals and explains a
significant shift of priority project areas of Japan's China aid in
the 1990s, from industrial infrastructure to socio-environmental
infrastructure. The book argues that, contrary to the widely held
view that Japan's aid to China is given for reasons of commercial
self-interest, the objectives are much more complex and dynamic.
Using original material, Takamine shows how policy making power
within the Japanese government has shifted in recent years away
from officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to politicians in
the Liberal Democratic Party.
