What Chinese people think about Japanese

They HATE the Japanese. I was in China recently, everyone hates them with a burning passion.

North Koreans officially have to call them "those Japanese bastards" in the media, schools, the public or else:

They all hate Japanese people but always prefer buying products made in Japan to Chinese.

In Chinese and Korean movies & series Japanese described as monsters. They hate them because of their war crimes. Chinese like anime and manga, too, but Japs are hated.

That's changing. A lot of Chinese products are better than their Japanese counterparts nowadays. On the whole, Japanese products are still better but it's changing quickly.

Anyways, it's annoying how a lot of Chinese people will reflexively say they hate Japanese, but have never even met one. It's understandable because of the history, but still, it's extreme.

I was around tons of Koreans growing up, but very little Chinese/Japanese people.

The people in OP's video are more balanced in their sentiment, probably because the video was shot in Shanghai, which is a more cosmopolitan and open minded city.

This video was shot in Northeastern China which is much more nationalistic than the south, and they are way more hostile. The comparison would be a video shot in San Francisco asking people on the street what they thought of Muslims, and another one shot in Texas.

Even in Shanghai, everyone I talked to hated Japanese or were at least apprehensive.
