Japan backpedals on cooperation with China in Beijing Olympics Today 06:00 am JST Today | 06:32 am JST TOKYO Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi backpedaled on a previous pledge to cooperate in making the Beijing Winter Olympics a success during a telephone call with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi earlier this month, government sources said Thursday. The change in stance comes as the United States and other countries have stepped up criticism of China s alleged human rights abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority in its far-western Xinjiang region. During a call with Motegi on April 5, Wang requested that China and Japan mutually support each other in the hosting of the Summer Games in Tokyo this year and the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing, according to the sources.
