Chinese Missile Destroyer Arrives at Japanese Port

Chinese residents in Japan wave the national flags of China and Japan as the Chinese missile destroyer Shenzhen docks at Harumi Pier in Tokyo on November 28, 2007. It is the first time since the Chinese’s Central People`s Government was established in 1949 that a Chinese naval ship has made a trip to Japan. A Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ship is also expected to make a port call to China in the future as part of both countries’ plans to improve ties.
