China glad to see more positive energy in relations with Japan: FM spokesperson

(ECNS) -- Despite some discordant and sometimes unpleasant noises in China-Japan relations, China hopes to see more stories that bring warmth, light, hope and positive energy in bilateral relations, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Wednesday.

Friendly interactions between the two peoples have been seen during the recently-concluded Winter Olympics, said Hua, citing the examples of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu and the story of young Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming and his Japanese coach Mr. Sato .
