KEY POINTS:
Finance Ministers from Japan and China did not discuss currencies on Sunday but they did talk about China-made toxic dumplings - the latest thorn in often-rocky Sino-Japanese relations.
Japanese Finance Minister Fukushiro Nukaga met his Chinese counterpart, Xie Xuren, a day after the Group of Seven (G7) meeting of rich countries' financial leaders encouraged China to allow its yuan currency to appreciate more quickly. The two ministers in charge of the health of the economy - but not food safety - devoted considerable time to talking about dumplings imported from China and contaminated with pesticide.
The incident made 10 Japanese people sick and sparked a food scare in Japan, becoming an emotive issue in sensitive Sino-Japanese relations.
