I had a Korean roommate in college who tried to explain the relationships among the three countries (Japan/Korea/China). On the one hand, you literally have thousands of years of conflict, sometimes horrific treatment by one of the countries of the others. On the other hand, people in all three countries are often fascinated by the others and adopt styles from the others to rebel against the oppressive monoculture back home. So while random dudes on the street will tell you everybody hates Japan, J-pop (and K-pop) are huge everywhere I’ve been in China.

Japanese spent most of their history fighting each other (and tribal cultures suchas the AInu or Emishi), Chinese history could be quite brutal too (Whether in the form of the taiping civil war or Mao's "reforms". Imperial Japan wasn't even that bad until the 1930s. Korea for most of her history was safeguarded by China (also denies having committed atrocities in vietnam.

Holistically speaking, Chinese-Japanese relations pre-Opium Wars weren't that bad, certainly better than Korean-Japanese relations. Anytime China and Japan came into conflict was usually because the Chinese and/or Japanese powers at the time were allied with (rival) Korean kingdom(s). For most of their shared history, their relations were pretty amicable, with deliberate cultural exchange and at least limited trade even during times of isolation. It only really deteriorated after the Opium Wars. China, which was much more powerful than Japan at the time, took a pitiful beating from western powers and subsequently motivated Japan to become more like the colonial European powers so that they don't end up like China... and somehow ended up being more vicious than any of them, given how short the time frame was.

As a Chinese/Hong Konger, these anti Japanese people are the conservatives in China, from what I've seen most of them rarely been to overseas and only sees things from the old Chinese perspective where the hatred begins with the invasion and the identity shift from inferiority to inflated ego alongside the rapid growth of China in recent decades. New gen (post millennial) don't really care about much of the past and they don't have the reason to. Speak as one of the millennials I can't judge what the conservatives do because I can't possibly understand what they've been through, I just live with it while embrace all the goods come from all the cultures.

Reminds me of Miniso, a Chinese brand store which we also have here in the Philippines. Many people thought it was Japanese from the name and many of the products they sell. But when I researched it in the net it seems there was a time that store was reprimanded by Japan for impersonating as a Japanese store and Miniso apologized and promised to changed their theme.

When Chinese people found the truth, it was criticized by the Chinese people too. Soon they claimed miniso is a 100% China owned company. And after years of development, now Miniso is much bigger than Daiso. Daiso can't compete with Miniso now. Daiso had 5000 stores while miniso had 6000 stores. But Daiso starts in 1977 while Miniso starts in 2018. We are the supplier of both companies. When Daiso visited China, they will go to Miniso's store.

The fact that China has copies of Japanese areas is something I wouldn't have thought existed. China towns have been literally in every country I've ever been in, but not so much Japanese towns. I know Japan has sort of theme park places of Europe and the US. So I guess if you can't actually do foreign travel this is the next best thing. This is a light on a part of the Chinese experience that only you give in your videos. It would be very interesting to understand the roots of why this area is failing. Was it ever supper popular, or just another failed concept. Any way great video. I arrived too late to superchat. I look forward to more of these and will try to be online when they actually happen.

The difference is, China town in Japan is made by Chinese and is an actual sharing of culture. This was an appropriation of culture. A bunch of “Japanese” shops not run by Japanese.

I wonder if it's just one of those typically Chinese "lets just build for the sake of building stuff" things. All these ethnic towns in cities are a double edged sword. On one side it increases cultural exchange and understanding, on the other side it lumps everyone from that culture in one spot almost like "you're not welcome anywhere else" style. Making integration difficult for everyone. We had a Japan street in my city. With bookshops, homegoods and restaurants. The pandemic put an end to it all. It's a shame really. Restaurant Sakura was the only place in town with japanese karaoke and sukiyaki. "China town" is still standing. Although it's more "orient block" than anything.

That is exactly is like Forest City. Glorious pre-pandemic. Post-pandemic its a ghost island. Just youtube the documentary. I lived like 10km away from there but hardly go there after COViD.

Reminds me of a joke that there are no chinatowns in Ireland because unlike other places, they just let the Chinese live with them.

Nice concept 👍

Thanks for showing us this. Although this didn't survive now, hopefully it gave some kids good memories and will somehow contribute to more friendship in the future.

The fact that a "Japan Town" street opened in China is quite interesting. It is too bad they did it without the cooperation of Japanese people. It's not so long ago, there was anti-Japanese demonstrations in 2012 in China, that got so out of hand, even the government had to reel in the strong nationalism. But that statement that ALL Chinese people dislike Japan is a blatantly lie, maybe politics & history that may be true. However, I've met plenty of Chinese people who are really into Japan: the food, the culture, the trains, anime, music. I mean China, Japan and South Korea, I think they all sorta hate each other because of history and competitiveness. I wish we can heal the wounds of the past and at least come with good terms one day.

When I saw your title I immediately thought “it’s because China hates Japan”. Even though I thought this, I was surprised that those two guys were so honest in their answer to you. We would all like the world to be rainbows and roses but political correctness does not wash away the atrocities of Japanese imperialism in China. Love your videos! Hope you make it to 1 million in 2024!

The real problem goes way deeper; an entire population brainwashed by Xitler believing they’re the best. Truth is their economy is in shambles, unemployment, homeless and poverty. As usual with china, start blaming outside sources first, this is a good example.

Wow, you guys are so international!

I like how they covered up the street markings exactly so you can still easily read them vs blocking them out :)

lamien (ramen) is from China. Nothing wrong.

What’s that movie in 3:24 I think I saw that old man in cultivators meme

Interesting video. . Thank you 👍

So I watched the video until the end, but the tip-toeing around the 'controversy' and history is strange. I find it parallels Japan's understanding of Japanese/Chinese history - a feigned misunderstanding that perpetuates division.

I get it to a degree, but as someone who has been living in China for over 6 years now, China can be super petty at times. Younger folks actually don't hate Japan. Many have traveled to Japan and absolutely love it. I understand the history between Japan and China so I understand why older folks would hate Japan. But younger folks who hate Japan only do so because they were told to, not because they actually do. Oh well.

You are so kind😊

We have to empathise with how they feel about Japan and not judge them for still hating Japan. The Chinese and Korean have every right to feel that way, still because the leaders of today and in the past never expressed remorse or regret to the Chinese people for the war crimes, but they extended their remorse to the Americans for Pearl Harbour. In general, we appreciate Japanese traditional customs, food, manga, anime, products and so on but we should never forget history. If we allow them to revise history as they did, their current and future population might eventually feel justified in repeating history they never knew. Look up Harold Timperley and Tamaki Matsuoka.

Americans point at Japanese and scream "CHINA!"🥺

I'm surprised they would even build a Japan Town knowing the history of WWII

Having traveled all over the world, I have seen such poor examples of American tourists. What a great representation you are ♥️
