FILE - In this May 3, 2012 file photo, People's Bank of China Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan listens to a reporter's question during a press conference held on the sidelines of the 4th round of the U.S. - China Strategic and Economic Dialogue at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. A Japanese government official said Wednesday, Oct. 10, that Zhou and Chinese finance minister won't be attending this week's IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Tokyo. The cancellations come amid diplomatic tension between the two Asian nations over a cluster of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea that are controlled by Japan but also claimed by China.
