Abstract: Enhancing the environment for conducting business between the Japanese and Chinese is critical for the maintenance of global growth. This review uncovered six (6) factors commentators perceived to be critical for reinforcing growth between China and Japan. Cooperation on cultural, economic, environmental, security and tourism issues will ensure these two neighbours enjoy future success together. Quality outcomes will primarily evolve from growing trust and leadership. Implications include governments and nationals putting behind them their chequered past and working together to create future opportunities in business including solving problems in energy access and resource development.

Keywords: China; Japan; complimentary relationship development; business growth; cultural cooperation; economic cooperation; environmental cooperation; security cooperation; tourism cooperation; energy access; resource development.
