The Japanese Prime Minister has returned home following the G20 Summit, without any talks transpiring between Japan and China. This lack of communication is noteworthy in light of the countries' significant economic and political ties. While it remains uncertain whether the absence of bilateral dialogue will bear any implications on the Asia-Pacific geopolitics in the coming months, it marks another chapter in the complex relationship between the two nations.

Japan's interactions with China are always a keen point of interest in its social and political spheres. As the two largest economies in Asia, their diplomatic relations and negotiations hold significant importance for both countries. This particular incident is sure to spark discussions on Japan's strategic foreign policy and its implications for national security and economic growth.

Many similarities can be drawn between the Japan-China dynamic and that of the US-China. Both Japan and the US have a history of complex and oscillating diplomatic relations with China. Likewise, the absence of interactions during global diplomatic events like the G20, would also be noted and speculated upon in the US and EU communities.
