Most Japanese harbor negative feelings towards China: Survey
A recent survey reveals that less than 13% of Japanese individuals have positive feelings towards China, the lowest recorded sentiment since 1978. Negative views are largely attributed to China's assertive actions in the South China Sea, Taiwan, and the Diaoyu Islands known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan, a South China Morning Post report said.
NEW DELHI: A recent survey has found that a mere fraction, less than 13%, of Japanese individuals harbor positive or "friendly feelings" towards China, marking the lowest sentiment recorded since the inception of the survey in 1978. This sentiment is echoed by 86.7% of the 3,000 participants who expressed negative views, largely attributed to China's assertive actions in the South China Sea, Taiwan, and the Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan, a South China Morning Post report said.
