FEBRUARY 5, 2010, 11:14 P.M. ET

IQALUIT, Nunavut (Dow Jones)--Japan's finance minister said Friday he and his Group of Seven counterparts didn't talk much about currencies during their dinner conversation earlier in the day, but he expressed worry about China's economic overheating.

"There wasn't much [conversation) over foreign exchange" during the dinner discussion, Naoto Kan told a group of reporters. But he added that he told other G-7 finance ministers that Japan is "paying attention to China's economic conditions, and we're concerned about [signs of] a bubble" in the mainland's economy.
