The 1972 communique normalised bilateral relations, with Japan acknowledging Beijing's "One China" policy.

"The Japanese government's position on Taiwan remains unchanged and is consistent with the 1972 Japan-China Joint Communique."

In a late-night communique on Thursday, the Cuban Government said that it had extradited a Chinese citizen, Zhi Dong Zhang, to the authorities in Mexico.
