Mao and visiting Japanese socialists discuss various topics from the Second Sino-Japanese War to current affairs. They agree that China and Japan should cooperate to defeat imperialism and revisionism.

Mao notes that, aside from pro-American capitalists and warlords, most Japanese people are China's friends. He calls for China and Japan to unite against American imperialism. This report was originally published in the Xinhua Monthly (1961, issue 11).

Mao and visitors from Japan discuss their common struggle against American imperialism. While Mao notes that China once fought against Japanese imperialism, he emphasizes that they are now targeting the US and Chiang Kai-shek. He promises to have China support and learn from Japan.

Mao Zedon and Amb. Wiriopranoto discuss Chinese-Indonesian relations, including dual citizenship of overseas Chinese in Indonesia, relations with Singapore, and prospects for a Japanese invasion.

Mao claims that, as a result of Tanaka's visit to China, "the whole world is trembling in fear." In addition to discussing international politics, Mao and Tanaka also delve into ancient Chinese history and Buddhist philosophy.

Mao met with Tanaka Kakuei, the Prime Minister of Japan, and he argued that settlement of the question of restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Japan still depends on the government of the Liberal Democratic Party.
