Public Opinion: Japanese and Chinese Still Do Not View Each Other Favourably

Public Opinion: Japanese and Chinese Still Do Not View Each Other Favourably
Sep 12, 2014 By eChinacities.com

Although perhaps not that surprising, a public opinion poll has rounded up the deterioration in Sino-Japanese relations pretty well: 93% of Japanese people responding had a bad impression of China, whereas 86.8% of Chinese respondents had a relatively bad impression of Japan.

The 10th Public Opinion Poll on China-Japan Relations 2014 was sponsored by the China Daily and the Japanese non-profit think tank Genron NPO, and surveyed Chinese and Japanese urban residents, as well as scholars and university students.

On the other hand, 6.8% of the Chinese asked had a good impression of Japan, while 11.3% of the Japanese asked had a good, or relatively good, impression of China.

The figures from both countries become far more extreme, as shown by the poll data from ten years ago, when only 62.9% of Chinese claimed to have a bad impression of Japan, and only 37.9% of Japanese had a bad impression of the China.

both countries will always have some hatred for each other.. I can really understand the Chinese view. Japan has never really apologized for its war attrocities and recently a movie glamourizing the kamakazi attacks on American ships during ww2.
