Follow on Google News | The Meaning of the China-Japan Island Dispute at Golden Networking's China Leaders Forum 2012Building off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings back China Leaders Forum 2012, "Political and Economic Challenges for Xi Jinping, China's President-in-waiting", New York, October 2nd
By: Golden Networking While the surface factors are complicated enough — conflicting territorial claims where both sides arguably are right, because they base their arguments on the logic of different historical periods — what is really worrying about the anger in China is how it is rooted in nationalism encouraged by the government, commentators, both Chinese and foreign, say. Right-wing nationalism in Japan is a major inflammatory factor. The last time Chinese demonstrated on this scale against Japan was in 2005, over the whitewashing of Japan’s World War II crimes in Japanese history textbooks. Western diplomats blame Japan for this current round of tension, which began in April when the nationalist governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, announced the city was considering buying the islands from the family that owned them. (The Japanese government’s purchase last week aimed at calming tensions by keeping them out of Mr. Ishihara’s hands. Judging by the reaction, it didn’t work.) Equally, the reaction on the Chinese street is highly flammable. And that’s related to nothing less than a question of the legitimacy of the ruling Communist Party, wrote Mr. Deng: “For a long time, the legitimacy of the Chinese government has been based on two things. “One is high-speed economic growth. The other is patriotism and nationalism,” China Leaders Forum 2012 will provide attendees with the responses to the above-mentioned questions and the most up-to-date review of where the Asian giant stands and the challenges and opportunities for businessmen looking to expand their business with China when others only see growth contraction. Recognized experts, regulators, and strategists, will return to China Leaders Forum 2012 in its fourth edition to provide the information practitioners are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking. China Leaders Forum 2012 is produced by Golden Networking, the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors.
