The media plays an important role in the mutual understanding between the Chinese and Japanese people. At present, more than 80% people in the two countries know each other mainly through TV, newspapers, magazines, internet and other media, so fair and objective reporting is very important.
The understanding of Japanese academic public opinion and media is even lagging behind. They lack a positive understanding of the rapid development of China's society, the update of science and technology and the change of international structure, and pay insufficient attention to China in their daily reports. They are more willing to pay attention to some negative information in the reports on relations between the two countries, which leads to the Japanese people's lack of objective and positive channels to understand China, and thus leads to cognitive bias.
Maoren Tian Yuan, a professor at the Institute of Oriental Culture at the University of Tokyo, said that it is necessary for the Japanese media to reflect on how to improve their coverage of China, and it is also very important for the Japanese government to convey the message of improving Japan-China relations to the public. Daibo Kondo, president of Japan International Information Society, also believes that Japanese media should eliminate Japanese people's misunderstanding of China's development and make Japanese people realize that China's economic development is good for them.
How much does the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spend on marketing in China every year? This is the result, the money is not wasted. Funded many cultural exchange associations and so on.
In Japan, if you look at what their media often reports about China, you will understand why the Japanese people's goodwill is so low and there is no positive news. In our country, whenever Japan is not good at all, many people jump out to scold it, but Japan has never reported the real China, but these people have stopped talking.
Just look at this kind of investigation, which involves a lot. Before the outbreak, people went abroad to play, and more were welcome and pleasant trips. Japanese people don't have a good impression of China, but they have a good travel experience. There are several countries that have a good impression on China, and their travel experiences are long and complicated.
Why should we worry about which country likes or dislikes us recently? I hope that China people will not take the evaluation of foreigners as one of the criteria for self-evaluation.
