Sino-Japan Animosity（敌意）Lessens

Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO（非营利性的组织）,a Japanese think
tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs（非政府组织）designed to improve communication and
understanding between the Iwo countries.
Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
members of Genron NPO.
Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good"
impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of
Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.
Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were
"important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties this
year.
Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
Shrine（靖国神社）,and the Nanjing Massacre（大屠杀）.
Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.
Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top
the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral
meetings,the survey found.
Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve
relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively
important".
Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and
newspapers,the survey found.

A:is held every year in Beijing
