Side by Side

In the 19th and 20th centuries Japan, the UK and China may not have had the best of relationships with each other but here they are in 2012 side by side, represented by an example of one of each nation's most famous industries, namely electronics, banking and tea respectively.
Here's hoping these 3 countries, and others, will continue to look to the future and mutual prosperity rather than let past conflicts sour present relationships.
