Why do the Japanese hate China so much? Are they just historical reasons?

Japan has invaded China, slaughtered Chinese people, and plundered a large number of historical relics and strategic resources belonging to China, but China has never invaded Japan. Logically, if Japan has a history of reflecting on war and repenting of its history in terms of education, then a new generation of Japanese should feel guilty about China, not hostile. In fact, nearly 80 percent of Japanese citizens have a negative view of China.

Why is that?

Since the 1990s, the Japanese government has been constantly running out to deny "one China" and re-mention "republic of China." Afterwards, the Japanese prime minister or chief cabinet secretary or Japanese defense minister came out to clarify, saying that this is an individual act and does not represent the Japanese government, which pursues the one-China principle.

After our countermeasures came out of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida first complained to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, accusing the missiles launched by China's military exercises of falling into "Japan's exclusive economic zone."

Former Abe cabinet deputy chief of office for security and Hara Nobukatsu did not shy away from saying that there is no NATO in Northeast Asia, and without Japan's support, the United States will not be able to achieve its strategic goal of intervening in the Taiwan Strait.

The Biden administration and G7 members issued a statement condemning the Chinese military exercises, and Japan became one of the co-signatories.

During the Chinese military exercise, Japanese supply ships broke into the military exercise area in a vain attempt to make trouble.

Japan, during my Sui and Tang dynasties, licked us more than we do now. After the Song Dynasty, Japan no longer paid tribute to China and lived with China on an equal footing. Later, Japan even held itself in high esteem and did not take China seriously.

After the Yuan Dynasty, Japan also fought against the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the attitude toward China deteriorated significantly, even contemptuously, which did not exist before the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan's strength was steadily improving, because before Japan was in the period of slavery, culturally and economically there was no fully effective mode of production. The Japanese believed that the Yuan Dynasty was not orthodox at the time, at least not recognized by the Japanese.

The Attitude of the Japanese toward the Song Dynasty was surprisingly good, and it was also a tribute to the Song Dynasty every year. When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, the whole country of Japan wore a linen and filial piety to mourn for the Song Dynasty.

At first, Kublai Khan's Mongolian Iron Horse fought a battle with the Japanese, a land battle, the Yuan people killed the Japanese pieces of armor, like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, naval battles, the Yuan Dynasty army lost. Later, the Yuan Dynasty also held two naval battles, both because of problems in the production of sea ships and the command of the generals, both of which ended in failure.

Although Kublai Khan's invasion of Japan failed, Japan was afraid and its sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, and since then the anti-China exclusion has been even worse.

During the Ming Dynasty, Japan harassed China several times, and at that time we called it Wokou. Personally, I think that it was mainly caused by the Ming Dynasty's sea ban, and most of the Wokou were Chinese coastal fishermen. During the Ming Dynasty, Japan was mainly in the Korean Peninsula.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic of China, Japan launched several major acts of aggression against Chinese territory, and the Sino-Japanese War, everyone may know it well. Let me list Japan's wars of aggression against the mainland during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China:

For the first time, in 1874, Japan, through its navy, transported thousands of troops to the coast of Taiwan and launched an invasion of Taiwan in a vain attempt to seize the strategic location of Taiwan. Eventually, after the Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was occupied in 1895.

The Second Sino-Japanese War was divided into the Sino-Japanese War and the Land War, in which the Lushun Massacre, which shocked China and foreign countries, was the massacre of thousands of innocent Chinese civilians by the Japanese army.

The third time, Japan also launched a war of aggression against China by the Eight-Power Alliance together with Britain, France, the United States, and Russia. It should be pointed out in particular that Japan is the country with the largest number of troops among the eight countries.

The fourth was the Russo-Japanese War in northeast China in 1905. In this war without the participation of Chinese troops, Japan and Tsarist Russia caused many killings in order to seize China's territory, and the Chinese people suffered thousands of casualties.

The fifth time, in 1914, Japan took advantage of Germany's busyness in World War I to defeat Germany and send troops to occupy Qingdao on the mainland.

The sixth time, in 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army created the "918 Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries, and began to annex all of northeast China.

Later, on July 7, 1937, Japan invaded North China, marking the beginning of Japan's all-round invasion of China. In the "Armageddon" TV series, Kuomintang Chairman Lin Sen asked Chiang Kai-shek what year we began to resist Japan, Chiang Kai-shek said that it was the beginning of the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident, Lin Sen was silent, Chiang Kai-shek said that it was the beginning of the September 18 Incident, and Lin Sen corrected that it began in the 21st year of Guangxu, that is, in 1895, that is, the beginning of the occupation of Taiwan.

Japan never thought it was defeated by us, and Ryukyu was originally returned to us after World War II, and the United States took charge of it, and later became Japan's Okinawa.

Japan has a special spy school for training against China, this is the East Asia Tongwen Academy, which is also a higher spy school set up by Japan in Shanghai, the predecessor of the East Asian Tongwen Academy is the Shanghai Nissin Trade Research Institute, the Japanese Army supports the special training of spies against China, and the remnant is the Still-existing Aichi University of Japan.

The school is a higher espionage school founded in Shanghai in 1901 to conduct "Chinese studies" research. Before 1920, the academy only recruited Japanese students, organized the past students to conduct more than 40 years of field investigations of China, covering all provinces and regions of China except Tibet, involving geography, industry, commerce, society, economy, politics and other aspects, the results were used as an important basis for Japan's decision-making on China at that time, the president of the academy was Konoe Tokumaro, whose real surname was Fujiwara, Kasumiyama, and his son Fumimaro Konoe, former prime minister of Japan.

After Japan's defeat in 1945, the Shanghai East Asia Tongwen Academy was ordered to close as a spy agency, and personnel in China were repatriated to Japan.

Even now, most of Japan's Spies against China are basically from Aichi University in Japan.

At the Shanghai East Asia Tongwen Academy, there was a teacher named Wang Xuewen, a member of the Communist Party of China, who said that it was good to cultivate or plot rebellion, and the famous Chinese and Western Gong came out. Those who are interested can Baidu Zhongxi Gong and Sorge.

The Kasumiyama Kai Organization, which is actually named after Konoe Tachibana's name "Kasumiyama", is strange, and to this day, every year this organization is funding Chinese students who cooperate with Aichi University in Japan.

Japan is, in fact, one of the largest hostile countries of the Chinese nation in modern times...

In May, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that Yuan Keqin was a Chinese citizen, but he had long been engaged in espionage and intelligence activities against China for the Japanese side in accordance with the requirements of spy personnel of Japan's intelligence agencies. Yuan Keqin has been examined by China's state security departments according to law for suspected espionage crimes. Previously, he himself confessed to the facts of the crime, the facts of the case were clear, the evidence was conclusive, and the procuratorial organs had reviewed the prosecution and transferred it to the court for trial.

In May 2019, a 60-year-old Japanese man was arrested on suspicion of espionage in China's Liaoning Province, and a local court1 sentenced the man to five years and six months in prison and fined him 200,000 yuan.

Hideji Suzuki was the then chairman of the China-Japan Youth Exchange Association and was arrested in 2016 on suspicion of "involvement in endangering national security."

In July 2018, a 54-year-old man from Aichi Prefecture, Japan, who was arrested in China in 2015, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a Chinese court on charges of espionage, including espionage. Also the same month, a 57-year-old man in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, who was arrested in China in 2015, was sentenced to five years in prison by a Chinese court on charges of espionage, including espionage.

In December 2018, a 57-year-old Japanese woman was convicted of espionage and sentenced to six years in prison and fined 50,000 yuan. According to reports, the woman was originally a Chinese national, and after changing to Japanese nationality, she became a cadre at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, Japan.

In March 2017, an employee of a Japanese company was arrested while conducting a "geological exploration" and reportedly found a large amount of confidential information, including maps, in the man's laptop and other devices. In 2019, the No. 1 Intermediate People's Court of Hainan Province, China, sentenced him to 15 years in prison and confiscated his personal property for 100,000 yuan for stealing state secret intelligence.

In March 2017 alone, six Japanese men were detained in Shandong and Hainan. On the day of the 2017 "9/18" anniversary, another Japanese national, Ken Higuchi, was arrested in Dalian on suspicion of espionage and intelligence activities against China.

Since the Counter-Espionage Law of the People's Republic of China in 2014 alone, more than 10 Japanese spies have been arrested, and before that, Japanese spies had not stopped in China.

On February 20, 2010, the Xinjiang Tacheng District Surveying and Mapping Bureau, through a report from the masses, found that a Japanese citizen carrying a handheld GPS receiver to carry out surveying and mapping activities in the Tacheng area, in the name of tourism and environmental investigation, used a handheld survey GPS receiver to collect 598 geographic information coordinates in the mainland, of which 588 were located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, involving 85 military management areas in the Tacheng area.

In March 2007, Hidehiro Soma and others in Xinjiang carried out ecological and environmental evolution investigation activities, using handheld GPS receivers to illegally collect geographic coordinate information in the area; The Japanese Masamitsu Sato and Kazumizu, in the name of archaeological research, carried out surveying and mapping activities in Nanfeng, Yingtan, Shangrao, Andeyama in Jiangxi. After reviewing it by the joint surveying and mapping department of the local state security organs, it was found that there were 2 top secret levels, 4 secret levels and 1 secret level military secret in the coordinate point data collected by the two people.

The first and third head of the same clerical academy, Nezuichi, not only served in the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, but also led the two earliest Japanese spy agencies in China, Hankou Rakuzendo and the Shanghai Nissin Trade Research Institute, from which spies continued to flow to The land of China.

Aichi University is a private comprehensive university in Japan with a focus on humanities and social sciences, located in Nagoya City and Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, and has been accredited by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. Undergraduate programs include 7 faculties, 13 departments and 36 majors. The Graduate School consists of 7 departments and 10 majors. In addition, the school also has 6 research institutes, especially the China Research Center, which is a famous Sinology research center in Japan, and has always been an important center for training Japanese Chinese experts (most of whom are spies). There are more than 10,500 students in the school, and by 2021, the school has 110,000 graduates. What is interesting is that such a spy school actually has our Confucius Institute in it. With Nankai University (Tianjin, China), Chinese University (Beijing, China), Minzu University of China (Beijing, China), Beijing Language and Culture University (Beijing, China), Beijing Second College of Foreign Chinese (Beijing, China), Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (Beijing, China), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Shanghai, China), Fudan University (Shanghai, China), Shanghai University of Chinese (Shanghai, China), Nanjing University (Jiangsu Province, China), Southeast University (Jiangsu Province, China), Nantong University (Jiangsu Province, China), Northwest University (Shaanxi Province, China), Xiamen University (Fujian Province, China), Dongbei University of Finance and Economics (Liaoning Province, China), Northeast Normal University (Jilin Province, China), Yunnan University (Yunnan Province, China), Taiwan Normal University (Taipei, Taiwan), soochow University (Taipei, Taiwan) have cooperative education.

The competition between the United States and China is a competition of discourse power, an ideological competition, a competition between the world's bosses and two elders, and a competition between the cultures and civilizations of the East and the West.

The relationship between China and Japan is not just a competitive one.
