Japan protests China's travel advisory over Taiwan remarks

Japan raised objections Saturday after China advised its citizens to avoid visiting Japan, as a feud over the new Japanese leader's remarks on Taiwan showed no signs of dying down. The government in Tokyo lodged a protest and its top spokesperson, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara, urged China to take “appropriate measures,” Japan's Kyodo News Service reported. China advised its citizens Friday to refrain from traveling to Japan in the near future.
