From 1949 to 1972, S&T exchanges between China and Japan were dominated by civilian contacts,as non-governmental channels were used to intermediate between the two governments. In 1955, a delegation of Chinese scientists visited Japan under the leadership of Guo Moruo, the first president of CAS,and met with Japanese scientists and friends from all walks of life.展开更多
