phrase
clause
submit

Explanation:

A clause contains a subject and a predicate (a verb that shows action or state of being), while a phrase does not. The bolded group "Japan and China" lacks a verb and does not express a complete thought or have a predicate; it is just a set of nouns acting as a noun group.

Answer:

phrase
