About 60 percent of Chinese corporate leaders say they cannot do business with Japanese firms because of thorny relations between the two countries, a poll published Wednesday showed. However the survey, carried out jointly by the Nikkei of Japan, South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper and China's Global Times, found around 80 percent of Japanese executives have no problem dealing with companies from the other two countries. That stands in marked contrast to just 13 percent of Chinese businessmen who said they were able to separate their company's dealings from the diplomatic frostiness. That was exemplified by the visit last month to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which he claimed was a bid to promote peace.
