The article reports that, at a time of rising political tensions, heightened by a growing nationalism, China and Japan are more intertwined economically than they have ever been. The ties offer a counterpoint to rapidly deteriorating diplomatic relations, which reached another low point when Japan's Prime Minister visited the Yasukuni Shrine, the nationalist memorial to Japan's war dead, and China immediately called off high-level talks. Tensions will likely keep rising with Asia's transformation: China, which had lost its historical role as the region's economic and political lead to Japan in the last century and a half, is hungry to reclaim it. China's economic ascension has been so fast that Japan must now contemplate a true rivalry.

An opera about Sun Yat-sen, China's first president and Nationalist leader, has been canceled shortly before its scheduled opening at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing because of official objections to the music, according to the composer's representatives. The work, ''Dr. Sun Yat-sen'' by Huang Ruo and a production of Opera Hong Kong, was to have opened on Friday, roughly coinciding celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese revolution. Mr. Ruo's management, Karsten Witt Music Management in Berlin, said a government official had gone to rehearsals and decided that the music was inappropriate. ''I guess because maybe it's not romantic enough, something like that,'' said an agency representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not Mr. Ruo's individual agent. The representative said the objection was not over the content. The government long knew of the subject matter and had the libretto, she said. ''I suppose they wanted something to glorify'' the subject more, the representative said. ''In fact, it's not at all too avant-garde.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MAOTAI, China -- If history is indeed written by the victors, then this isolated mountain hamlet in southern Guizhou Province hit the jackpot when Red Army soldiers sought refuge here in the spring of 1935. Exhausted by their long-distance retreat from Nationalist forces, Mao's guerrillas used the town's bracing 144-proof liquor to disinfect wounds, tame diarrhea and take the edge off their jangled nerves. ''The Long March was a success in large part due to Maotai,'' the rebel commander Zhou Enlai later told historians. In 1949, after becoming prime minister of the newly established People's Republic, Mr. Zhou designated the sorghum-based liquor, called Moutai, China's ''national wine,'' giving it an undeniable marketing edge over the other gullet-searing grain spirits, collectively known as baijiu, tossed back at banquet tables across the nation.

Beijing This moment was inevitable. Ever since China began to shuck off communism and turn itself into a global economic power, its leaders have followed the strategy of a ''peaceful rise'' -- be modest, act prudently, don't frighten the neighbors and certainly don't galvanize any coalition against us. But in recent years, with the U.S. economic model having suffered an embarrassing self-inflicted shock, and the ''Beijing Consensus'' humming along, voices have emerged in China saying ''the future belongs to us'' and maybe we should let the world, or at least the 'hood, know that a little more affirmatively. For now, those voices come largely from retired generals and edgy bloggers -- and the Chinese leadership has remained cautious. But a diplomatic spat this past summer has China's neighbors, not to mention Washington, wondering for how long China will keep up the gentle giant act. With an estimated 70 million bloggers, China's leaders are under constant pressure now to be more assertive by a populist- and nationalist-leaning blogosphere, which, in the absence of democratic elections, is becoming the de facto voice of the people.

Unlike in other cities taken by the People's Liberation Army during China's civil war, there were no crowds to greet the victors as they made their triumphant march through the streets of this industrial city in the heart of Manchuria. Even if relieved to learn that hostilities with Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Army had come to an end, most residents -- the ones who had not died during the five-month siege -- were simply too weak to go outdoors. ''We were just lying in bed starving to death,'' said Zhang Yinghua, now 86, as she recalled the famine that claimed the lives of her brother, her sister and most of her neighbors. ''We couldn't even crawl.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Japan's new prime minister, Taro Aso, is well known -- and not fondly remembered -- by Japan's neighbors as a pugnacious nationalist. As foreign minister from 2005 to 2007, Mr. Aso soured relations with China and South Korea and raised tensions throughout the region, praising the achievements of prewar Japanese colonialism, justifying wartime atrocities and portraying China as a dangerous military threat. Now, the power brokers in the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party have made him Japan's fourth prime minister in just two years and rebranded Mr. Aso as a ''pragmatist.''
