This is John Batchel, conversation with colleague Grant Newsham, Colonel U.S. Marine Corps retired, author of When China Attacks, about the reporting that the Japanese delegation to talk trade in Washington in town, speaking to the administration's talks will be led by the Secretary of the Treasury,

Mr. Besson, joined by Mr. Lutnik, the Secretary of Commerce, and the President of the United States

will look in or participate. This is extremely high-level treatment for the Japanese delegation.

What does this mean to the Chinese? I ask Grant, how does Beijing see the treatment of Tokyo and Washington?

He's very straightforward in the answer.

Here's Gran Newsom when China attacks about China watching Tokyo in Washington.

More of this tonight. Do you that? Well, they really don't like it.

The Chinese have a innate resentment, if not hatred of the Japanese. They refer to them routinely

with very derogatory expressions. And they don't like the fact that the Japanese are close to the Americans. And if you're

close to the Americans, it's very hard to push a country around in Asia. So there is great resentment

there. Plus, look at the treatment that the Japanese are getting while the Chinese are stuck

with well over 100 percent tariffs. They're probably higher than that, actually. And so the Japanese are stuck with well over 100% tariffs,

they're probably higher than that, actually.

And so the Japanese are in a much bad, pretty good position.

The Chinese don't like it at all.
