If It Angers China, It Can't Be That Bad

I believe I mentioned that Japan and Taiwan were ending their harmful feud in the East China Sea. China is unhappy.

Tough luck, Peking:

China expressed serious concern on Wednesday after Japan and Taiwan signed a fishing agreement for the seas around a disputed group of East China Sea islands which have been at the center of an increasingly hostile stand-off between Beijing and Tokyo.

"We are extremely concerned about Japan and Taiwan discussing and signing a fishing agreement," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.

I wasn't happy with Japan and Taiwan feuding over the region with China looming over both of them. It's nice to see sanity break out on occasion.
