The author outlines the development of the Chinese-Japanese economic relations in the most dynamic phase after 1978. That year marks the turning point of these relations. The coincidence of the beginning of reforms in China (December 1978), of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the People's Republic of China and Japan (August 1978) and of the Long-Term Trade Agreement (February 1978) does not seem casual. The author presents the development in several fields trade (export and import), direct investment, Official Development Assistance (ODA) by the Japanese Government, and others, like tourism. He underlines the significance and the role of the Chinese-Japanese economic relations for the both countries and for other states in the region.
