Tokyo takes twin-track approach to Beijing
Govt cooler on security, but still wants warm business ties

In a recent interview with Financial Times, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda called for closer co-operation among regional neighbors to persuade China's military to abide by "common maritime rules".
