China and Japan Take Steps to Mend Fences

BEIJING, Oct. 8 China and Japan said they had made progress addressing their historical animosities and territorial tensions on Sunday, as Shinzo Abe, the new Japanese prime minister, devoted his first overseas trip to mending ties with Asian neighbors.
The Chinese president, Hu Jintao, called Mr. Abes visit, the first to Beijing by a Japanese leader in five years, a turning point for two Asian powers, whose relations had sharply declined. Mr. Abe told reporters on Sunday night that he also considered the event a turning point that will lead Japan-China relations to a higher level.
The trip coincided with fears that North Korea would test a nuclear weapon at any moment, which may have helped focus the meeting on a common strategic concern rather than on political disputes.

That looks like where they fired the missiles from. I could be mistaken.
Google Earth doesn't have a high resolution for the area.
