BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- China called on Japan to provide fair, transparent and predictable business environment for Chinese enterprises, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said here Friday.

It has been reported that the Japanese government will officially announce the 5G network spectrum allocation plan, and Japanese operators will decide whether to cooperate with Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE.
