Sino—Japan Animosity Lessens (C级)
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, a Japanese think tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations. It also found 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 designed to improve communication and understanding between the two 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, and the Nanjing Massacre.
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 8 1.4 percent this year.
Cooperation in East Asian issues,trade and investment,energy, and 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 the most people from the 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 countries mostly through television news and newspapers,the survey found.

中日敌意减少
根据周三在北京举行的记者招待会发布的调查显示,较之去年,中日人民对待彼此的态度稍微积极了一些。
这项调查是由《中国日报》和Genron共同负责的,Genron是日本一家非营利性组织,类似于美国外交关系委员会。它也曾压倒性的赞同中日两国关系很重要。
这项调查是北京——东京论坛的一部分。北京——东京论坛是一个中日两国高级政府官员或非政府组织代表们会面的年会,旨在推动两国间的相互理解和交流。
这项调查每年实施一次,现在已经是第五年了。他主要关注两类人群:普通市民和知识分子。在中国被调查的知识分子主要是像北京大学这样知名大学的大学生们。而在日本的知识分子群体则主要是由非营利组织Genron的前任成员组成的。
被调查的中国普通市民中有35.7%的人认为他们对日本人的印象”很好”或是”相对较好”,比去年增长了5.5个百分点。45.2%的中国学生对日本人有好感,比去年增加了2个百分点。但是,却只有26.6%的日本人对中国人有好感。
但是,两国代表中仍然有压倒性的多数人认为中日关系一直”很重要”,并且期待两国领导们能相互加强对话和合作。
但是,在中国有51.9%的普通人群和42.4%的学生认为他们在过去的一年里没有看到两国关系的任何变化。在日本有64.8%的普通人群和53.4%的知识分子认为今年中日双边关系没有任何进展。
调查显示,历史问题和恐怖主义争执依然是推动两国双边关系的两大主要壁垒。中国人最关注的问题有历史问题,日本官员参拜靖国神社以及南京大屠杀。
不过,两国在经济和贸易关系的认识上有了改进。大约有47%的日本普通民众认为今年中国人在对抗全球经济危机上有很大的帮助,相比较而言,去年这一比率仅有30%。日本知识分子中认为中国经济的发展有利于日本的比率从去年的65.8%上升到今年的81.4%.调查发现,两国在东亚事务、贸易和投资、能源以及环境和气候变化方面的合作是中日两国人民最关心的,他们期待两国领导人在双边会议上能够就此加强对话。
两国大多数人民普遍认为内部交流是改善两国关系的重要途径。中国90.7%的
