Japan hopes to remove a big source of friction with China by speeding
up the disposal of tens of thousands of chemical weapons abandoned by
Japanese forces at the end of the second world war.
Tokyo will build a dozen disposal plants in China and begin processing
leftover weapons in three years, said the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.
The decision to quickly complete the work, started in 1997, comes after
a sharp deterioration in relations amid Chinese claims that Japan has
refused to acknowledge the brutal nature of its occupation.
