中国外相、１０月来日で調整　「日米離間」警戒も

　日中両政府は、中国の王毅国務委員兼外相が１０月上旬にも来日し、茂木敏充外相らと会談する方向で調整に入った。日本政府関係者が２８日、明らかにした。実現すれば２月の楊潔※（※竹カンムリに褫のツクリ）共産党政治局員以来、菅内閣発足後は最初の中国要人の来日となる。
　中国側は米国との対立が続く中、２５日の日中首脳電話会談に続くハイレベル対話で日本との関係改善の流れを維持したい考え。一方、日本政府内には中国当局による「日米離間」の動きを警戒する声が根強い。このため、王毅氏の来日は１０月上旬に東京で予定している日米豪印４カ国外相会談の後になるよう調整を進める。（2020/09/28-19:19）

Tokyo and Beijing are arranging Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Japan for as soon as early October, Japanese government sources said Monday.
   If the trip is realized, Wang would be the first senior Chinese government official to visit Japan since Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, came to Japan in February, before Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga took office Sept. 16.
   Amid U.S.-China tensions, Beijing apparently aims to continue improving its relationship with Tokyo. On Friday, Suga and Chinese President Xi Jinping had telephone talks.
   Meanwhile, some Japanese officials are concerned about attempts by China to drive a wedge between Japan and the United States.
   Against this background, Wang's envisaged visit is expected to come after a meeting of the foreign affairs heads of Japan, the United States, Australia and India to be held in Tokyo in early October, informed sources said
