China feels regret that some Japanese make Japan's loans to China a sensitive issue, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao in Beijing on Tuesday.

Liu told a regular press briefing that Japanese loans to China or the Sina-Japanese capital cooperation should be a positive element of the bilateral relations, and it will do harm to both sides to make it a sensitive issue by some Japanese.

The Japanese government made a formal decision on Tuesday to end its freeze on the annual disbursement of loans to China for fiscal 2005 through March, Kyodo News reported.
