Talk:Foreign relations between China and Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Breadth of coverage
Japan and China may not have had official diplomatic relations prior to the 19th century, but that does not mean they had no relations at all. There needs to be mention here of the Ryukyus in the Edo period, which were formally but secretly controlled by Japan (Satsuma han), and which had direct tributary relations (and strong economic relations) with China. Trade at Nagasaki, though executed by individual merchants and not by the Chinese gov't, should probably be discussed as well. ... Nara/Heian contacts with T'ang China. Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea. There's lots more to be added here. LordAmeth 15:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
