Quote:

"Southeast Asia, where anti-Japanese feelings from World War II are not as strong as in China, offers alternatives.

"Last year, Japanese exporters sold $129.8 billion in goods to the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean)—that’s a 5.8 percent increase from 2011—while Japanese exports to China dropped 10.4 percent, to $144.7 billion, according to Japan’s Ministry of Finance.
