BANGKOK -- The leaders of Japan and China held their first summit meeting in about three years on Thursday as Japanese companies struggle to find a balance between maintaining a presence in the world's No. 2 economy and responding to U.S. calls to diversify.
The meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Chinese President Xi Jinping came just ahead of the annual summit of 21 Asia-Pacific economies, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders gathering, hosted by Thailand this year.
