Citing Public Sentiment, China Cancels Release of 'Geisha' - New York Times But anti-Japanese sentiment has run high over the last year after Japan's prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, visited the Yasukuni Shrine, where some Japanese war criminals are commemorated. The decision is a big setback for Sony Pictures, which planned to distribute the Columbia Pictures film here, as well as for the film's Chinese stars, Ziyi Zhang and Gong Li, and Michelle Yeoh, a Malaysian-born actress also popular for her roles in China. According to film industry officials who were briefed on the Chinese government's decision this week, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television canceled the film's scheduled Feb. 9 release after reviewing the Chinese script of "Memoirs of a Geisha," overturning an earlier decision to approve the film. www.nytimes.com /2006/02/01/movies/01geis.html?ex=1296450000&en=94212fa9add5b18b&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss   (573 words)

Keyword Japanese nationalists have reacted to violent anti-Japan protests in China with their own sporadic but troubling attacks on Chinese establishments in Japan. The spokesman said the ministry fully understands the patriotic sentiments of the masses of people, including students, that participated in the recent spontaneous protest demonstrations in Beijing and Shanghai over Japan's offensive attitude toward its own aggressive history and behavior that has hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong News and Business. In a country where little public expression of political sentiment is tolerated, the magnitude and continuity of anti-Japan marches were seen by many as an indication of real antipathy at the top towards Japan's emerging military profile in the region and its ambitions to join the Security Council. Chinese anger focuses on the visits of Koizumi and other Japanese leaders to the Yasukuni shrine, where war criminals are commemorated alongside Japan's war dead. A survey released Monday found that 96% of Chinese saw Japan's revision of history textbooks as an "insult to the Chinese people". www.atimes.com /atimes/China/GD13Ad06.html   (1006 words)

Anti-Japanese sentiment rising in China The San Diego Union-Tribune Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura summoned the Chinese ambassador, Wang Yi, to a meeting yesterday. The new textbooks avoid mentioning any figures about the Nanking massacre in China, in which 100,000 to 300,000 Chinese were killed by Japanese soldiers. Afterward, Wang said the Chinese government condemned Saturday's demonstrations, in which protesters threw rocks at the Japanese Embassy in Beijing and vandalized Japanese businesses. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20050411/news_1n11china.html   (403 words)

Anti-Japanese protests in China - [Sunday Herald] Anti-Japanese sentiment has been running high in China since Japan last week approved a school textbook that critics say whitewashes atrocities com mited during the second world war, and many Chinese feel the country has not owned up to its wartime aggression. Thousands of Chinese demonstrators smashed windows and threw rocks at the Japanese embassy and ambassador’s residence in Beijing yesterday in a protest against Japan’s wartime past and its bid for a seat on the UN Security Council. Domestic media said 20 million Chinese had also signed an online petition opposing the bid for a seat. www.sundayherald.com /49053   (334 words)

CNN.com - U.S., U.N. warn on China, Japan - Apr 15, 2005 On Tuesday Japanese Trade Minister Shoichi Nakagawa said he was concerned about the impact of the Chinese sentiment on Japanese companies, one day after Koizumi called the protests "regrettable" and urged the Chinese to protect the nation's citizens. In particular, Chinese say Tokyo plays down 1937's "Nanjing massacre." When that city fell to the Japanese Imperial Army, tens of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war were killed. Japanese foreign minister Nobutaka Machimura is expected to go to Beijing this weekend to discuss the fraying ties as organizers plan more protests. www.cnn.com /2005/WORLD/asiapcf/04/15/china.japan   (843 words)

Asian Cup 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Consequently, Chinese anti-Japanese sentiment was spotlighted and discussed in Japan. However, the Japanese media and many other foreign observers have pointed out what they have perceived as bad manners on the part of Chinese fans, and the sparse attendances so far at the tournament, raising questions on China's ability to hold such sporting events. The Japanese government also called on the PRC to ensure the safety of Japanese fans, while specifically asking Japanese nationals or people of Japanese origin to not display any form of excessive pride, especially wearing Japan national football team uniforms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Asian_Cup_2004   (812 words)

The Epoch Times Anti-Japanese Demonstrations Appear "Staged" Japanese media reported the anti-Japanese parade in Zhongguancun, emphasizing that Xinhua News did not report through Chinese media inside China any of the anti-Japanese parades that have occurred recently. Japan Sankei News concluded that Xinhua News has never reported demonstrations by citizens before and that its report on the anti-Japanese parade indicated that the Chinese government and the CCP allowed not only the reporting of the parade, but also the parade itself. Free Asian Broadcasting Station commentator Chen Jingsong has published an article stating that in the recent “resistance to Japanese products” wave, the sentiment of those citizens who claim love for the motherland is genuine, but the government-inspired behavior of “singing the patriotism sound” is an illusion. english.epochtimes.com /news/5-4-18/27964.html   (1258 words)

Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan The government has invested 50 years in nurturing anti-Japanese sentiment and is now finding it hard to get them to embrace a land and people they were taught to hate. When Chinese President Hu Jintao and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi met last May at the Group of Eight conference of industrialized nations in France, it was the first time a Chinese leader had not publicly demanded an apology for Japan's war crimes against China. In an effort to drop the victim mentality and assume the role of a rising nation with world-power status, China is engineering a complete reversal of its attitude toward Japan, aiming to cement a relationship necessary to assume its leadership role in Asia. www.atimes.com /atimes/China/FB12Ad07.html   (1775 words)

BBC NEWS Asia-Pacific China's anti-Japan rallies spread Critics are angered that one of the books refers to the killing of more than 250,000 civilians by Japanese troops in the Chinese city of Nanjing in 1937 as an "incident", rather than the "massacre" it is known as elsewhere. The protests were sparked by new Japanese schoolbooks, which many Chinese say whitewash Japan's occupation of much of China during the 1930s and early 1940s. At least 3,000 people demonstrated at the Japanese consulate in the southern city of Guangzhou on Sunday, shouting for a boycott of Japanese goods and burning Japanese flags. news.bbc.co.uk /go/rss/-/2/hi/asia-pacific/4429809.stm   (477 words)

TIME Asia Magazine: Respect and Resentment -- Nov. 29, 2004 For businessmen, anti-Japanese sentiment in China is particularly vexing. Whatever unfriendly feelings the Japanese may hold against the Chinese are completely different in scale compared with that of the Chinese. Nearly 60 years after the end of World War II, Japanese youth are witnessing what they believe is a dramatic shift in power, as the political and economic momentum (to say nothing of military might) in Asia swings inexorably from Tokyo to Beijing. time.com /time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501041129-785416,00.html   (1629 words)

Fearing That Anti-Japanese Sentiment May Get Out of Control, Beijing Tightens its Grip on the Media* Press Interpreter The Hong Kong news agency, Mingpao, reported that Beijing was unsettled by the emotional tide of anti-Japanese sentiment that is sweeping China. The party leaders were encouraged to be especially cautious of elements in society that would use these protests as way of stirring up popular sentiment against the Chinese government. It would seem, as this article suggests, that the Chinese government is suppressing the news of the massive demonstrations. www.pressinterpreter.org /node/129   (553 words)

The Paper Tiger: A Single Spark... Anti-Japanese sentiment may not be as familiar to many Netizens, but I imagine yesterday's demonstrations in Beijing caught the world's attention. To some extent, anti-Japanese sentiment can be seen as a safety valve for other resentments and frustrations that the CCP is unwilling or unable to remedy. An example of this mentality: the problems in Manchuria, said one Japanese writer, were in fact not caused by Japanese actions but instead were the result of too much concern with Chinese demands. papertigertail.blogspot.com /2005/04/single-spark.html   (1632 words)

Anti-Japanese Sentiment Erupts in Shanghai Upset over Tokyo's attempt to secure a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council and perceived failure to admit to and atone for WWII war crimes against the Chinese, some protesters shouted "Kill the Japanese" as they rioted while police stood by mostly watching, according to reports. "The Chinese government has never done anything for which it has to apologize to the Japanese people," Li told Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura. BEIJING (AP) -- China's foreign minister on Sunday rejected Tokyo's demand for an apology for damage to Japanese diplomatic missions in violent protests, telling his Japanese counterpart that Beijing had done nothing for which it had to apologize to Japan's people. www.atsnn.com /story/134899.html   (406 words)

Anti-Japanese sentiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Japanese conduct during the war did little to quell anti-Japanese sentiment; fanning the flames of outrage were the treatment of American and other western POWs, the use of POWs as slave labor for Japanese industries and the Bataan Death March, the Kamikaze attacks on American ships, and atrocities committed on Wake Island and elsewhere. Continued visits by Japanese politicians to the Yasukuni Shrine, and the recent approval of a textbook that downplays the Rape of Nanking and the role of sex slaves in the Japanese Army have further aroused Chinese sentiment. Anti-Japanese sentiment refers to the view of the Japanese people or of the Japanese nation with suspicion, resentment, or hostility. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment   (4001 words)

Anti-Japanese Hostilities Move to the Internet Japanese officials say the number and severity of the attacks in recent months have climbed to record levels as anti-Japanese sentiment has soared not only in China but also in South Korea, where almost half the population gains access to the Internet via broadband cable networks. Japanese universities and companies such as Sony Corp.'s subsidiary in China have also fallen prey to hackers posting anti-Japanese slogans in Chinese. They also have reportedly begun cracking down on cyber-attacks and have shut down some Web sites where anti-Japanese campaigns were posted. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/09/AR2005050901119_pf.html   (1127 words)

Japan Ponders Options as Anti-Japanese Sentiment Escalates Among Neighbors Japanese watching the violent scenes say they are surprised by the outburst, and by reports of rising anti-Japanese hostility in South Korea as well. He says criticism of Japanese actions during the war is justified, and he can even understand the attitude of post-war generations of Chinese and Koreans. The catalyst for the protests has been recent revisions to a few Japanese textbooks, which critics say gloss over the country's early 20th century aggression against its neighbors. www.voanews.com /english/2005-04-14-voa15.cfm   (984 words)

Boston.com / News / World / Asia / Chinese nationalists turn to Internet But the petition's angry tone reflects widespread anti-Japanese sentiment among younger Chinese who know that criticism of Tokyo is one of the few areas where communist leaders allow free expression.

The Epoch Times Roots of Chinese Anti-Japanese Sentiment The Chinese government insisted that only a few had the extreme nationalism and anti-Japan sentiment. In Chinese history textbooks, for example, the anti-Japanese war was taught as being led by the Chinese Communist Party instead of the KMT. Yu believes that this kind of sentiment shouldn’t be seen as universal or enthusiastic, as claimed by many foreign observers. english.epochtimes.com /news/4-10-1/23473.html   (791 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports Student prank that gave the Chinese a fit of the willies Hundreds of thousands signed an online petition against a Japanese bid to build a rail link between Shanghai and Beijing; a Japanese band was pelted with bottles when it played in Beijing; and newspapers published front-page stories about a sex tour by 400 Japanese men who allegedly hired 500 Chinese prostitutes. The outcry sparked by the innocuous display of student humour this week is the latest and most bizarre in a series of public demonstrations against anything Japanese - one of the few issues on which the Chinese government appears ready to tolerate large-scale protests. Instead, they sparked an anti-Japanese demonstration by thousands of fellow students, internet death threats, and articles in the national media accusing them of attempting to humiliate China and its people. www.guardian.co.uk /china/story/0,7369,1075600,00.html   (513 words)

China anti-textbook protests grow larger - Wikinews The Japanese government has claimed that the demonstrations have an "anti-Japanese sentiment," for which China should apologise. Chinese protests against the publication of a Japanese government textbook continued for a second day in China, (Sunday) as an estimated three thousand protesters marched on the Japanese consulate in Guangzhou. The protesters repeated their demands for a boycott of Japanese goods, to block Japan from obtaining a seat on the U.N.

Inter Press Service News Agency Having encouraged the expression of anti-Japanese sentiment for years, Beijing now feels uneasy about pitching its carefully crafted image of a responsible international player against the domestic outpour of nationalistic fervour. Yet even before the storm over the Security Council revamp blew up, political relations were strained by Japan's pledge to help the Untied States defend Taiwan, Beijing's growing military spending, the recent incursion of a Chinese submarine into Japanese waters and disputes over mutually claimed energy resources. In newer versions of Japanese history textbooks, China is blamed for the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war (1894-95), while historical evidence for the Nanjing massacre carried out by the Japanese army in 1937 is described as ''inconclusive'' and ''under debate''. www.ipsnews.net /africa/print.asp?idnews=28164   (957 words)

USATODAY.com - Japan honors WWII anniversary amid protests But for Chinese, Koreans and other Asian victims of Japanese aggression during the first half of the 20th century, official visits to Yasukuni — the Shinto shrine used during the war to whip up nationalist sentiment — are a sign that Japan glorifies its militarist past and refuses to atone for wartime atrocities. TOKYO (AP) — Ignoring rising anti-Japanese sentiment in Asia, Cabinet ministers and conservative politicians joined tens of thousands of citizens in silent prayer at a shrine for war dead to mark the 56th anniversary of the nation's World War II surrender. In all, 125,000 Japanese thronged to Yasukuni, many more than the 55,000 who visited last year and the highest in recent years, a spokesman for the shrine said on condition of anonymity. www.usatoday.com /news/world/2001/08/15/japan.htm   (528 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports Sino-Japanese 'cold war' stirs new tensions But anti-Japanese nationalist sentiment is now being exploited to boost the Communist leadership's waning ideological authority.

Japan Focus Article Another concern is that the violent acts against the Japanese Embassy in Beijing indicate a growing inability of the Chinese leadership to grasp the depth of discontent among the public. For Japanese wondering if China is truly pushing a policy of emphasizing closer ties with Japan or if it is actually anti-Japanese, the answer is Beijing always uses both stances simultaneously in its dealings with Tokyo. However, Japanese who watched TV images of the weekend protests against Japan in China cannot be blamed if they doubt the accuracy of Wen's description. japanfocus.org /article.asp?id=257   (1342 words)

Random pro-French propaganda I put it together mainly as an exercise to brush up on creating web pages, but also as a way of countering the wave of anti-French sentiment, or should I say hysteria, that is sweeping the United States right now. I wish the French (and Chinese and Russians) hadn't signed onto U.N. Resolution 1441 if they had no intention of assisting with, or even allowing, the serious consequences 1441 promised. (French aid to its allies didn't end with the armistice with Germany; contrary to left-wing historical revision, the Western Allies did not "invade" Russia in 1918, the troops they deployed to Russia represented the same sort of assistance to Russia's legitimate government that allies give each other all the time... www.imagina.com /~bbroadside/France.html   (1342 words)

Greg Baker / AP Chinese protesters chant anti-Japanese slogans outside a Japanese restaurant during a rally in Beijing's Haidian district on Saturday. But if the government does move to stop more protests, it will come up against public anti-Japanese sentiment exacerbated since Japan's approval of a school textbook last week that critics say glosses over atrocities committed during Japan's 1931-1945 occupation of China. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/7441686   (736 words)

A Glimpse of the World: Virtual Possibilities: China and the Internet: The Genie Is Out of the Chinese Bottle Much of the anti-Japanese sentiment in China is a product of Communist education that relied on stirring up anti-Japanese sentiment as a way to legitimize the party’s rule.

Anti-Japanese activist Lu Yunfei has said that he intends to present a petition with 20 million signatures to the United Nations this summer. www.howardwfrench.com /archives/2005/04/01/virtual_possibilities_china_and_the_internet_the_genie_is_out_of_the_chinese_bottle   (1141 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Technology -- Tokyo tightens cyber defense in wake of anti-Japanese demonstrations in China Government officials are reluctant to publicly pin the attacks on Chinese and South Korea hackers because of the difficulty of identifying their source, but a surge in attacks coincided with violent anti-Japanese protests last month in China. TOKYO – Japan has bolstered the defense of its computer systems in the face of a surge in cyber attacks believed linked to anti-Japanese sentiment in Asia, increasing staff and creating a new agency to coordinate its efforts. Cyber attacks have recently hit Japan's National Police Agency, its Self-Defense Forces and the Defense and Foreign ministries, as well as other sites, such as businesses and a Tokyo war shrine criticized in Asia for honoring convicted war criminals, officials say. www.signonsandiego.com /news/computing/20050511-0604-japan-cyberdefense.html   (521 words)

Anti-American sentiment in various countries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In China, anti-American sentiment brewed largely from what the Chinese believe to be the interference of the United States in the internal affairs of their own country, especially over the Taiwan and Tibet issues. However most anti-American sentiment in Greece was caused by the 1967 Greek Junta, which much like the Chilean Junta was supported by the US Government and the CIA. American support for heavy-handed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista created an even more anti-American climate in the country, especially after his second ascent to power in an almost bloodless coup in 1952. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-American_sentiment_in_various_countries   (3566 words)
