12/2 (Mon) 20:26 Published Yomiuri Shimbun Online The results of the 20th Japan-China Joint Public Opinion Survey (conducted by Genron NPO and China International Communication Group) exploring the national consciousness of Japan and China were announced on the 2nd. The number of Chinese who answered that their impression of Japan was “unfavorable,” including those who answered “somewhat,” rose 24.8 points from the previous year to 87.7%, the second highest on record after 2013, the year after the Japanese government nationalized the Senkaku Islands. The survey was conducted in October and November among people aged 18 and over, with responses received from 1,000 people in Japan and 1,500 people in 10 cities in China. Among Japanese respondents, 89.0% (down 3.2 points from the previous year) said their impression of China was “unfavorable.” On the Chinese side, those who answered that Japan-China relations are “not important,” including those who answered “somewhat,” increased 40.5 points from the previous year to 59.6%, the highest figure ever. When asked to select multiple answers to the question of the main issues that are impeding the development of Japan-China relations, the most common answer from the Chinese side was “the ocean release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company” at 35.5%, an increase of 29.7 points. When asked to give multiple answers to the question of how people in China obtain information about Japan, 75.2% answered “Chinese news media,” of which 55.5% chose “Internet from mobile devices” as the most common answer. There are many anti-Japanese posts on Chinese social media, which may have contributed to the worsening of sentiment toward Japan. sauce.
There’s no way we can trust Chinese statistical data lol. If anti-Japanese sentiment is so strong, why do so many Chinese tourists really come to Japan in the first place?
Because they have been taught anti-Japanese culture since childhood, they have no confidence in their own country’s policies and direct their criticism of the Communist Party overseas.
Japan today is a country that cannot exist without China, and unless it gets down on its knees and apologizes to China to restore their friendship, it won’t be able to survive.
