Japanese media recently paid attention to the fact that in the Chinese network and table tennis groups, the images of Ai Fukuhara and Ito Mimachi are completely opposite. Compared to Ai Fukuhara, Ito's image is "hateful".
Japanese media wrote that Ito won three Olympic medals at the Tokyo Olympics, including the mixed doubles gold medal, becoming the most hated opponent of the Chinese team. Ito matched Mizutani Hayabusa to defeat China's Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen, and Japanese table tennis reached the highest podium of the Olympic Games for the first time, and although Ito lost to Sun Yingsha in a row, he still won 3 medals to prove his presence.
However, on the Chinese Internet, it is believed that the game is not fair, for example, the Japanese side has changed the size of the venue, and believes that the Japanese players have a small movement of touching the table tennis table, many people are dissatisfied with Ito Mimachi, thinking that her behavior after winning is improper, and Ito Mimachi's personality is not liked.
Japanese media said that compared with former Olympic medalist Ai Fukuhara, Ito was proud of her strength, but did not win the hearts of Chinese fans, but made China wary of her. Ai Fukuhara continued to lose to Chinese players at his peak, and also became friends with Chinese players and established friendships.
Japanese netizens also believe that because the opponent of the Chinese team is Ito Mimachi, so she is a hated character, how can a scandal-ridden person like Fukuhara Ai compare with Ito Mimachi? Some Japanese netizens believe that compared with Ai Fukuhara, Ito's Chinese is not fluent, and not "smart" enough, and the Chinese table tennis team will not accept it when Ito beat Ai Fukuhara's close friend Liu Shiwen in the mixed doubles! There are also Japanese netizens who believe that this is the difference between defeating the Chinese team and not being able to defeat the Chinese team, Fukuhara Ai did not defeat the Chinese team, so in China's view she is just a player of a weak table tennis country, and Ito Mimachi has the strength to win the championship, which naturally produces hostility.
So, Chinese netizens think that the Japanese media and fans have said the real reason?
