Economy would be key topic at any Japan-China summit - Japan government source

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan needs details of China's plans for Sept 3. events to mark the anniversary of World War Two before it decides if Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit Beijing then for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a Japanese government source said.

China will hold a military parade to top off events marking the Sept. 3 anniversary, which its state media call the "Victory of the Chinese people's war against Japanese aggression".
