TOKYO/BEIJING — More than half of Chinese people think their country could one day go to war with Japan, a poll released yesterday showed, news agency AFP reported.
The survey, which was conducted in both China and Japan, found that 53.4 per cent of Chinese felt a conflict could occur in the future, with over a fifth of Chinese respondents saying it would happen “within a few years”.
Twenty-nine per cent of Japanese, meanwhile, said war between the two countries was a possibility.
The poll findings come as Japan today marks the second anniversary of its nationalisation of disputed islands in the East China Sea — known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. The dispute has been the focus of tensions between the two neighbours.
The survey by Chinese state-run newspaper China Daily and Japanese non-governmental organisation Genron NPO was conducted in July and last month. The annual survey also found that an overwhelming majority of Japanese respondents — 93 per cent — had an “unfavourable” impression of China. This was the highest level the survey has recorded since it began in 2005 and a rise from 90.1 per cent last year.
The percentage of Chinese respondents who had an unfavourable impression of Japan, meanwhile, was at 86.8 per cent — a decrease from last year’s 92.8 per cent.
“The most common reason for the unfavourable impression of China among the Japanese public was that ‘China’s actions are incompatible with international rules’ at 55.1 per cent,” AFP reported Genron NPO and China Daily as saying in a joint statement.
“China’s actions to secure resources, energy and food look selfish” was the next highest reason at 52.8 per cent, followed by “criticism of Japan over historical issues” at 52.2 per cent and “continuous confrontation over the Senkaku islands” at 50.4 per cent.
Meanwhile, among the Chinese public, the two most stated reasons for the unfavourable impression of Japan was “the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands” at 64.0 per cent and “historical understanding” at 59.6 per cent.
An editorial in the China Daily said the poll findings were worrying in terms of prospects for Sino-Japanese relations. “What is even more worrying is that 32.9 per cent of the Japanese surveyed believe that ties between the two countries will further deteriorate, while the percentage of Chinese surveyed with the same view was as high as 62.6 per cent. Both are higher than last year’s figures.”
The newspaper urged leaders of the two countries to “keep the situation under control and to try and reduce tension”.
“Sino-Japanese relations would not have experienced the good days of the past several decades had previous generations of leaderships on both sides not had the courage and wisdom to shelve the territorial dispute and political differences.”
The editorial called for a meeting between the leaders of both countries to reverse deteriorating relations, but put the ball in Japan’s court.
“(Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe) needs to show Chinese leaders with his actual deeds that he is sincere about improving relations,” the China Daily said.
The newspaper pointed to Japanese nationalisation of the disputed islands, Japanese leaders’ visits to the Yasukuni war shrine and Mr Abe’s lifting of the ban on Japan’s right to collective self-defence as reasons for the deteriorating bilateral relations.
