Now, as Japan’s economic recovery stalls, the country’s business sector seems to be pressuring Abe’s government to work harder to mitigate the impact of its deteriorating relationship with China. According to a Chinese government report, in the first half of 2014, Japanese direct investment in China was almost 50% lower than during the same period last year – a clear sign that Japanese business leaders fear for the future in Japan’s second largest market.
如今，随着日本经济复苏势头停滞，日本商界开始向安倍政府施压要求更加努力地缓和与中国关系的恶化。中国政府报告称，2014年上半年日本对华直接投资比去年同期降低了近50%——这清楚地表明日本商界领袖十分担心日本第二大市场的未来。
