Japan to review aid to China  
Fri, Nov 19, 2004
Source UPI

TOKYO -- A Japanese legislative commission has recommended that Japan review, and perhaps curtail, its development aid to China.

Members of the House of Councilors commission visited China in August to review seven projects for which Japan had provided funds, including the building of an airport in Beijing, sewage disposal and gas supply projects in Tianjin, measures to improve air pollution and construction of water purification facilities in Guiyang.

The report praised the projects, describing them as progressing smoothly and benefiting China's economy, social infrastructure and the environment, reported the Yomiuri Shimbun Friday.

However, the report concluded that new development aid to China was not necessary, and loans to China should be reduced to a level at which outstanding capital would not increase.

Recent events in China, including its remarkable economic growth and increasing defense budget, were mentioned in the document. It also pointed out that education was becoming increasingly anti-Japanese.
