TOKYO -- Many members of Japan's business community are wary of operating in China as geopolitical tensions mount in Asia and beyond, with 67% of the respondents to a recent survey saying their companies should no longer send executives to the world's No. 2 economy on assignment or even for trips, while around half said no staff at any level should go.
Mount Fuji Dialogue Young Forum, a group supported by the Japan Center for Economic Research and Nikkei, received just over 3,000 responses to an online poll of businesspeople based in Japan, which included a question on whether Japanese employees should be allowed to live in or visit China amid the risk of possible detention under a beefed up anti-espionage law.
