  1. Not surprising. With Chinese state sanctioned nationalistic diatribe, blatant racism and low blow mockeries (e.g the video of Chinese school kids making a mockery of Abe’s assassination going viral in China), the survey hits the mark perfectly. It’s like dealing with a petulant child.

  2. I once saw my Japanese coworker use the word “Chinese” as an adjective for shitty.

    “Oh we got some more Chinese clients… only they are not *Chinese*.”

    She was young too, like 25.

  3. Sad, as prior to Xi Jinping, China had done a lot to improve its international image.

    Then Pooh Bear sat the throne.

  4. I guess 90% of the global population has a bad impression of China and the Chinese.

    I’ve seen a 40-something Chinese man pulling his pants down, to sit and take a dump in the middle of Nishi Guchi underground concourse of Shinjuku station.

    And a Chinese mother, beating the shit out (literally) of her 4-5 y.o child, kicking the kid with full power from behind, slapping the kid extremely hard and also with her fist. (Police came after a few minutes)

    And they’re always noisy, they don’t know how to talk normally. They always shout – on the phone or to the person walking right next to them, it doesn’t matter, they shout.

    I can’t stand them – so uncivilised.

  5. You can’t say that 90% of the population had interacted with Chinese people and had a bad impression of them. This sort of thing is influenced by the media coverage of China, whether good or bad.

  6. I wonder what…caugh… could hav…caugh caused…caugh caugh caugh…. that?
    Sorry, i have covid, the virus of totally forgoten origins

  7. I have experience working for a Japanese clothing company when I was barely an adult and I have to say, mainland tourists acted like animals. They would leave clothes on the floor, left garbage too, and sometimes tossed items they didn’t plan on buying at the clerk assigned in the fitting room after trying them on.

  8. Japan gets there news filtered through the US state department as well. Japan is as propagandized as the US. How many proxy wars is China fighting right now?

  9. 8 years in Japan studying and working with chinese from mainland and I have never seen people with such bad manners and so little empathy

    Some are nice but when a normal country is 80% of good and 20% of bad people, China is 80% of bad and 20% of good people

    sorry to say that but that’s facts

  10. So does most of the rest of the World?

    Including China if you ask them when they’re not at threat from Social Credit losses or a boot on their neck?

  11. Who cares? China is still a great country, and I don’t think they’re bothered by an opinion of a country 0,1x it’s population

  12. I’d be a lot more surprised to learn that any country in the universe doesn’t have a bad impression of China.

  13. I work with Filipinos in Japan. and everyone talks bad about China. “they eat any garbage” “they invade our maritime territory”

  14. Only 90%?

    Chinese tourists are pigs. Peeing in elevators is one of the things they do for thrills.

  15. Japan has a highly educated and informed population. It is as simple as that. I have spent decades helping Chinese who have moved to Japan and there is ignorance and discrimination on the part of Japanese when it comes to dealing with foreigners of any kind, but as far as geopolitics, and understanding the repression of truth and dissent that happens in the communist PRC versus democratic Taiwan, people are not ignorant. China is now seen as an existential threat to Japanese democracy and security due to the ideology of Xi Jinping Thought which seeks to displace the USA as global superpower (dictator), and also coddles nuclear armed North Korea.

  16. Lmao ‘bad impression’.

    I dont understand how the Japanese could have the gall to justify their hatred for anything Chinese when they for decades tried to warmonger against the country which includes, provoking war, blatant false flag operations, taking territory and literal genocide.

    Ofcourse westerners keep fuelling the fire with their adjacent hatred for China.

  17. As an american who travels to Japan, I can definitely say that Chinese tourists have taken over the title from Americans on being the most loud and obnoxious visitors over there. It’s not even one offs – it’s consistent.

  18. I’m guessing the majority of Chinese people either also have a bad impression of Japan or don’t really give a shit as well.

  19. All the hate I’ve heard from Japanese people over the years towards Chinese people upsets me. It goes beyond complaining about rude tourists.

    I go to school with a bunch of Chinese folks and they’ve been nothing but kind. The tone of some of these threads feels a bridge too far.

  20. Mainland China is a perfect example of an ethnicity that thinks they are superior to other ethnicities and acts like it, when every other ethnicity knows they aren’t.

  21. I mean, I’m not a huge fan of mainland Chinese people either but that’s pretty rich coming from the Japanese knowing the history between these two countries (where hundreds and thousands of Chinese people were killed, raped and tortured by fhe Japanese – who to this day haven’t apologized and are still trying to erase this event from their history books, btw).

  22. Rich coming from a country that brutalized the Chinese less than a century ago, behaving like barbarian savages, raping and pillaging everything in sight. Maybe the Chinese harbor some justified resentment towards you all too.

  23. Anyone not from China has a bad impression of em right now. I’m Chinese and have 0 intention of ever going to China. The CCP and corruption has just degraded the moral integrity of the society a lot.

    That being said, while there are plenty of good Chinese people…There are plenty of bad one. It is just how they are being raised. Like you see how people right now are looking down on old people and refusing to help old people? It is not that they are heartless but because under the current government there, the 1st person to help someone who has fallen would be fully liable for any problems that person has so some scummy people have used it as a new form of insurance scam. The worst part is there was a court case where were they judge sided with the scammer so after that people would rather watch people die in front of em instead of helping in fear of getting sued.
