Sino-Japanese relations (52min)

Economic ties between China and Japan are growing stronger. But political tensions over how to remember World War Two and rising nationalism are straining the relationship. Is East Asia big enough for both of them? Historian Mark Selden and political scientist T. J. Pempel join Chicago Public Radio's Gretchen Helfrich for the discussion.

Mark Selden is a professorial associate in the East Asia Program, Cornell University; coordinator of the online journal Japan Focus; and author of the book Revolution, Resistance, And Reform In Village China.

T. J. Pempel is a professor of Political Science and Director of the Institute for East Asian Studies, University of California, Berkeley; and coeditor of Remapping East Asia: The Construction Of A Region.
