Public sentiment in China has turned against even small signs of Japanese culture in recent weeks, from a woman wearing a kimono to anime conventions.
Many resent the refusal of Japan’s government to apologize for war crimes during the Sino-Japanese wars and its leaders’ repeated visits to shrines commemorating Japanese war criminals.
“In the context where Japan has not yet apologized for its war of aggression against China... this kind of anti-Japanese sentiment that suddenly intensifies every few years is bound to exist for a long time,” he added.The most recent flashpoint was a viral video circulating on social media earlier this month that showed a young woman being harassed for wearing a kimono in an area of the city of Suzhou that hosts a number of Japanese restaurants and stores.
A hashtag on the subject was seen a total of 150 million times on China’s microblogging website Weibo. Nationalistic hatred also flared up last month after the discovery of the worship of Japanese war criminals at a Chinese temple in Nanjing, a city central to Chinese animosity toward Japan.Universal History Archive / via Getty Images
