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. Anti-Japanese sentiment refers to the view of the Japanese people or of the Japanese nation with suspicion, resentment, or hostility. Sentiments against Japanese are viewed by some as commonplace in parts of East Asia, due to lingering resentment against Japan's colonization before and during World War II and Japanese policy today. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment   (4001 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. 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. 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. 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. A local children's troupe sang peace songs together with a Japanese choir, and a "Nanjing Peace Declaration" was read, calling on "the world's peace-loving people to rise to protect peace and resist war". www.atimes.com /atimes/China/FB12Ad07.html   (1775 words)

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.

Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong News and Business.

Some 14,000 Japanese companies are estimated to be operating in China and continuing hostilities could have chilling ramifications for bilateral ties. 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. www.atimes.com /atimes/China/GD13Ad06.html   (1006 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)

Film industry officials and the Chinese state media said last week that government officials were worried that the public could be outraged by seeing three of the Chinese-language world's leading actresses portraying Japanese geishas.

TIME Asia Magazine: Respect and Resentment -- Nov. 29, 2004 For businessmen, anti-Japanese sentiment in China is particularly vexing. 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. Whatever unfriendly feelings the Japanese may hold against the Chinese are completely different in scale compared with that of the Chinese. time.com /time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501041129-785416,00.html   (1629 words)

RFA: Sino-Japanese Ties Spiral Downward He also cited a school history textbook written by extreme right-wingers, which critics say whitewashes wartime atrocities by Japanese troops, Tokyo's plans to drill for oil in disputed territories, and its bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.

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''.

USATODAY.com - Japan honors WWII anniversary amid protests 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. 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. 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)
