Once while in Japan, I left my expensive camera in a taxi that took me back to my hotel late one night. I didn’t even realize it until the next morning when I was leaving the hotel. How? Well, my camera was sitting on a gold platter at the front desk of the lobby. Just sitting there! Out in the open. I pointed to it, and said “Hey, That’s my camera!” to the concierge behind the counter. He just smiled and said “Dozo” gesturing for me to take it. That totally blew my mind. Shit like that always happened to me in Japan. Love Japan.

Shit like that has happened to me in the USA. I once dropped my wallet out of my jacket pocket riding a motorcycle on a busy road. I thought it was gone forever. Next day, I got a phone call offering to return it. The man came to my address and returned it to me, forgoing any reward at all.

As a Chinese, I don't really understand what's wrong with some people of my country these days. I don't think it's a shame to admit the truth that China does have plenty of bad things. The first step to solve a problem is to admit there is one. And I do think it is pathetic to say that a person is China hater just because he or she pointed out some flaws of this country which do exist. To admit the fact and to make the country better, or to keep denying and change nothing, it's quite clear(at least to me) which choice is really good for the country.

suhani sharma About Eating dogs, there was in China also a very intense debate recently, in which almost the whole society is involved. Some Chinese believe that dogs are no different than other animals such as chicken, pigs or cattle. As long as those dogs are not pets, but raised by those who legally own them, we have no right to interfere in others' choices. The other, especially those who have a dog as pet, on the contrary, think that this tradition increases the possibility that their pets would be stolen and sold to the restaurant. And the way some savage people kill the dogs is extremely cruel. Although most Chinese, especially those who live in the relatively developed area, don't eat dogs, the mainstream thought about this topic is the first one. And they also demand the government to make a law that dogs thieves and animals torture should be punished more toughly.

stubby wonderkid Yeah.. I know how that feels, especially when you compare Chinese with other tourists for example Japanese, who are extremely quiet when they talk to each others. But actually, they are not necessarily being rude and it's probably just the way they talk. I've heard of a theory that Mandarin sounds somehow extremely annoying to western people. If you got a chance to hear people talk to each other in Cantonese, you would definitely think they both are extremely angry, but they might just talk about a very happy thing... And about the culture stuff, in fact, our traditional culture(like Confucianism) does say a lot about being polite and so on. But those things have been dead for a long time due to the shitty political stuffs from 1949 to 1976. Especially from 1966 to 1976, Chinese destroyed literally everything about the culture. Back then, the life was just about violence and fighting with each other. And the tourists you can see these days are the people who have grown up in such an environment.

Thomas Affolter I don't think the population of Seattle can be compared with that of Tokyo or Osaka. Most populated US cities are dirty, at least in downtown, from my own experience.

Japan has honesty. Unbelievable honesty. About 15 years ago my wife and I visited various places around Kyoto and Nara. We took a tour south from Nara and stayed overnight in a temple in a small mountain town called Yoshinoyama. It had a number of temples and a long row of souvenir shops for the tourists. During the day we walked past all the shops and small stalls looking at the items for sale. Some were very expensive, around $100 or more. We walked past one and the middle aged Japanese lady owner stopped us and tried very hard for us to come inside and have some tea with her. Her English was quite good. We were very hesitant thinking she was trying to hard sell us something we did not want, but eventually we succumbed and went inside. Wonderful experience! She made Japanese tea, and sat with us for half an hour showing some of her photo albums from when she went to various western countries. We did not see any other westerners in that town during our whole stay so we must have been an attraction for her to have someone interesting with whom to talk. Then came the "hard sell". She brought out a beautiful box and in it were two hand made, exquisite porcelain horse figures which she was offering to us. We said we did not want to buy and apologized feeling a bit guilty, but she said "No, no. Please take it as a gift. My late husband made it and I want you to have it as a memory". We were flabbergasted at her generosity. Later that night after we had a fabulous dinner, we decided to go for a walk. It was after 10pm and the streets were dark with only a few street lights. Everyone was gone. The streets were empty. YET ALL THE PRODUCE WAS STILL ON THE TABLES OUTSIDE THE SHOPS. Nothing had been put away, including all the very expensive items. It seemed to us that it was unheard of that someone would steal from these tables. Unbelievable honesty and trust. That was just one wonderful experience out of many in the 3 weeks we traveled around that region. Japan and its people are truly amazing. I have been back a number of times on holiday and never had a bad experience.

I learned that during university for microbiology practice and most people probably don't know about that. Especially now during the COVID-19 virus outbreak and also in general during flu season hygiene should be top priority. If it hits us hard few people will have sufficient hygiene.

On Chinese Language vs Japanese Language. 1. You can learn conversational Japanese in about 6 weeks, and within six months, you can speaking, ordering and getting into trouble with the best of them. But to read a newspaper requires "kanji" and that's years of study. 2. Chinese is a TONAL language and each tone has a different meaning. There is "rising tone", "falling tone", "rising and falling tone" and so on and so on. I can't hear the tones, so I'll never learn Chinese. I lived in Japan for three years and I spoke it well. I was never "scammed" and in fact, I went to a pachinko parlour once and the yazuka guys let me play for free. Why? he knew that I had no knowledge of how to "cash in" on my pachinko winnings, whatever they were. I returned the tub of pachinko balls, bowed deeply and thanked him.

Old times were not really good. People used to have repressive society. People used to prefer sons instead of daughters bcz it was more about profiting. There are so many other weird things in traditionalist societies. They used to pretend to be nice to strangers but to the people in their families they showed all the bad manners and not to mention nosing around everyone they have power over. But I guess for different people see them in different ways. For us, we really don't like traditionalist societies. We as foreigners only like the festivals, foods and costumes.

Here's my China vs. Japan story: In 2002 I (a Yank) was backpacking through western China on my way to Vietnam. Out of convenience I hooked up with a Brit -- headed to Hong Kong -- for several days of travel. I had Chinese language skills which helped him, and we were able to split certain costs. So, we arrive in Lijiang, in Yunnan Province. We get to our intended guest house and they've got two beds left. One is in a 3 bed dorm room and the other is in a 5 bed dorm room. Respective cost was 15RMB and 10RMB per night. At that time the exchange rate was approximately 8:1 (US$), so we were literally talking pennies. However, this guy was really trying to save on costs so he insisted on taking the cheaper of the two rooms. The current occupants of these rooms were out when we inspected the rooms so we didn't know who we'd be sharing them with. Turns out that I had a Japanese couple in my room, while he had two Aussies and two Chinese. We went out for a bite to eat and back to the guesthouse. Because we'd been traveling since early morning, we both retired quite early. After showering I went back to my empty room, turned out the lights, and closed my eyes. Before long the door opened and the Japanese couple returned to the room. Initially they turned on the light, but they quickly noticed that the third bed was now occupied. Off went the light. For the next several minutes, they took care of their business, quiet as church mice. I heard them whisper to each other a couple times and once or twice they turned on a small flashlight to take care of some matter. They went out to the bathroom and took care to close the door gently each time. The next morning I got up very well rested and met this Brit for breakfast. He complained of having a terrible night's sleep. You can guess what happened. At some point after he fell asleep the Chinese couple returned to the room. They threw on the lights, put down their food and drink, and then sat up for several hours eating, drinking, and talking loudly -- as if no one else was in the room.

The Japanese have a lot of discipline and that leads to people being nice and clean. The world could learn from them. Not that they are perfect but to be that organized is definitely admirable.

Pathetic. China on the other hand is much better. generally More genuine and natural people who are slightly easier to befriend (and they doesn't need to get drunk to show you who they are), cheaper rent and services, more welcoming atmosphere. China definitely wins. unlike japan which is just a stricter copy of China.

I would like to talk to someone here. can i have your attention? i met in a "japan vs china video" a japanese person called yu i . i left a section when i explained why china is a better place to be than japan , then that yui showed up and told me "japan is better, are you chinese?" before staying silent. CAN anybody explain me what's wrong with her ? is that true that Japanese are patriotic or are only conscious of china issues? because she doesn't explain me in detail why japan would be better than china, and when i told her that i am not a chinese (i am just a cultivated french), she still didn't answered me , it's been some months she talked to me like that ! it's not polite or rspectful! i saw that strange person on other japan videos. also if she don't speak well english why she replied to the ones in favor of china? any idea? if she still didn't want to reply me here , can somebody else explain me why japan would be a better place than china and what was wrong with that person? please i need to know! yu i or somebody else here, please reply me frankly here!

As a Chinese I have to say:Japan is a very special and unique country in the world.

李三月, I think you might be interested to know that, aside from recent history, Japan has always had a huge admiration for China since forever. Historically, Japan always admired China, especially the culture's opulence, especially because Japan is a country very poor in natural resources. So you see a lot of Chinese historical influence in Japan, and I think when it comes down to it, even Japanese people of today admit that China is one of the most important cultures in history, that have shaped the world to what it is today. This is all from a Japanese person :)

Pukurin Hart Shame we Chinese didn't preserve those treasures well. Sheer pleasant to read your comment. Best regard.

I've worked in China twice. 2001 and 2010. The 2001 trip was a nightmare from beginning to end. Altough we were invited by the government, I have some of the most incredible stories to tell about incompetence, rudeness and utter idiocy. N O T H I N G W O R K E D !!! Nothing was according to contract and noone was responsible for anything. We went to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Hong Kong felt like a fresh breeze of civilized behaviour after suffering through the mainland madness. We were pretty happy just to get out of there in one piece as the last idiocy almost had me and my collegue attacking a government official physically. Guess we wouldn't have left there ever if that would have happened. However the 2010 trip was different. That time we went to Beijing and Shanghai. It was quite a different experience. I got to see another side of China and had a great time. F.e. the best meal I've had all my life was in Shanghai and work-wise the entire situation felt more professional and flowed (fairly) easy. There are a few reasons why the trips were so different, but the biggest one is Status. The first trip we got the short end of the stick because the Chinese basically had misunderstood who we were. On the second trip it was very clear that we were a pretty high profile visit and was treated accordingly. Status seems to be everything in China. Also, almost ten years had passed and this could be felt everywhere. I've worked in Japan too and absolutely love that country. But being a westerner it sometimes feel you are like a bull in a glass-shop because of all the politeness and tidyness. This is not something you feel in China. There you better man up and stand your ground (which I kind of like). In short I think that working in China really speaks to my Pirate/Entrepeneur/Adventurer persona as it is filled with challenges that will test your endurance in a character developing and "fun" way. Constantly making sure you are not being ripped off and having to show strength almost every second. A little bit like "the Wild East". Working in Japan is just such a breeze as they are incredibly organized in their dealings with you. Everything is in order and the risk of being scammed is as Winston says, almost nil (if you don't deal with the wrong people of course, but you know if you are and have to blame yourself if that happens). But if you want to get a little bit more adventureous China has a lot more to offer to the strong of heart. China for adventure, Japan for tourism.

I had the great privilege to have been stationed @ Yokota Air Base an hour west of Tokyo from '02-'06. It was a period of my life that I will never forget. Some comments. About the work ethic of the Japanese--the entire society has a sense of duty to the group, whatever that is, that super-cedes the individual. This shows up in a million ways, day-to-day, in all areas of life. The Japanese are unfailingly polite. Good manners are something that everyone practices at all times. So....when it comes to work, you do your best, no matter what your job is, because that's the right thing to do for the group (family, work center, team, company, etc.). Stealing is VERY frowned on, as is arson. Stealing breaks down trust in the group very fast, so people don't do it. This includes scamming. Hostess bars, it is universally understood, operate under a different metric. You know, whether you are Nihonjin (Japanese) or Gaijin (a foreigner), that those places provide you with young, pretty, engaging companions, and that while your drinks will be reasonable, their drinks will be expensive. That is how they make their money. Also, many of the hostess bars run on the clock, usually by the hour. Additionally, there are those hostess bars where the hostesses are actually prostitutes, but that's a subset, and as such their services are sex for hire by the hour, which is another subject entirely. The only other scam-type businesses are the Yakusa families---the Japanese Mafia. But they don't bother foreigners, as long as you don't bother them. Anyway, with anything else, what you see is what you will get in Japan. It's a matter of good manners, face, and honor, to a degree. They don't lie, they don't cheat, and they don't steal. That being said, the Japanese are very careful with what they say. If you ask a Japanese for a favor and he doesn't want to do it for you, he will not say no to you directly, as it would cause an uncomfortable situation where either one of you or both of you would lose face. He might start inhaling his breath almost through his teeth, saying something like, "ahh, Pete-san, it is VERY difficult....VERYYY difficult to do that." Or something along those lines. What he's really saying is, "I want to say no to this request, but I can't because it would be very impolite." So, a proper response would be something like, "oh.....Yuki-san, please, please forgive me. It was so foolish of me to make such a silly request as that." Then he "forgives" you, you say you're sorry for having bothered him, there's a lot of bowing that goes on, and eventually, you both get a chance to back away from an awkward situation without losing face. Everyone goes home happy and the group integrity is maintained. Now, of course, in family situations, it's not like this all the time, but there is an element this that runs through the whole society. So...they do a LOT of interactions that are centered on politeness. As far as stealing goes, you could drop a wallet stuffed with Yen on a subway, and some young dude who's dressed like a cross between a punk-rocker and a hood will come up to you, bowing, and holding out your wallet as an offering, and saying, "sumimasen, sumimasen," to let you know it's your wallet and that he found it. And....there will be no money or credit cards gone. And examples of this can be found every day all over Japan. There is a flip side to the polite interaction, though. There's a phrase in Japanese that means "stated meaning", and another one that means "hidden meaning", and these two phrases are real encapsulation of what can go on. Being polite all the time because it's something you must do many times does not encourage the outside thinker, the iconoclast, or the rugged-do-it-on-my-own individualist. And a folk phrase in Japanese culture sums this up, "the nail that sticks up will get hammered down." And in many ways, it's true. The Japanese love to experience and at times absorb new things from new cultures, and very often come up with their own unique spin on them. They are great for taking an idea, putting 50 or 100 or 5000 people on it, studying every little piece of it, and refining it to the nth degree. But coloring outside the lines, even if it get things done better or faster? Not as much. And the Japanese who dares to go his own way? Well, he should live in a segment of society where interaction with the group is not as necessary. These people do exist, but to this day, they are still a minority. The culture is a fascinating juxtaposition and contrast of the deeply revered ancient traditions and the cutting edge modern. You got a chance to see that in Tokyo with it skyscrapers on one block and shrines on the next. And even if the Japanese man or woman you meet is non-religious, they are still very proud of being Japanese, and proud of their country, its culture, traditions, and contributions to the world. If you want to see a couple of films that are fiction but capture the heart of spirit of Japan, I'd recommend Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck for the modern stuff, and The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise for the traditional things. Both have good scripts and good acting and do a really good job of showing what it is to be Japanese. That all being said, I would recommend living in Japan to anyone. I made a lot of good friends there, and will always treasure the times I spent there. Respectfully, PMH

That’s our taxi driver from earlier!” I remembered his face as I sat in the front chatting. He only came back with my ski gloves, which I’d left in the taxi and hadn’t even missed. I offered him a few yen, he declined with a smile. What a guy. Only in Japan.

I can say I feel much better living in China than living in France, which is where I was born. And I also love Japan, for different reasons, and I would also love to move there, or at least try. And for all those posting bad comments from their homecountry, you just cannot judge a country from what you see on TV. You have to live there to understand, to appreciate, and to be "allowed" to criticize it.

I've lived in Japan for almost 8 years now and have lived in China for about a month. Japan is a very safe country, never lost anything here during my stay. China is not as safe as Japan. Japanese food is really delicious and looks amazing but sometimes the new comers and tourists would not get used to eating Japanese foods. Japanese people are really polite. But as he said Chinese people talk loudly. But I loved Chinese culture. I think Chinese are honest people no showing off... but in Japan people show off to be good most of the times. You won't know if someone is really unhappy because they never show it in Japan. It makes Japanese difficult to understand. But life in Japan is really convenient and the service is really good. People are really helpful. But Japanese people are not so friendly. I found that it's opposite in China. Chinese people are friendly and full of life.

It depends on socioeconomic status. Among working class people if you're reticent and/or soft spoken they see you as extremely cold, distant, and unfriendly. You're expected to have little personal space, pry around a lot of personal information, and chat excitedly to show interest. But I find richer people to be quieter, talk less, and show a lot more restraint. I think a lot of the older generation (who've gone through poorer times) find the newer generation to be uncaring and unfilial, and the differences in communication play a part in it.

I haven’t been to China yet, likely will be visiting sometime later this year or early next. Excited! That said, your observations about Japan, a country I visit at least twice a year are spot on! From the artistry behind the food, to the near pristine cleanliness of its public spaces, the culture espouses standards on a level that I’ve seen nowhere else and permeates the entire society. And, that’s a good thing :)

I love Japan. The small convenience stores and supermarkets are amazing. I couldn’t believe how many varieties of Kit Kat you can buy. The food and craft beer is great and dining out is generally inexpensive. I look forward to returning.

As a South African that has been to both Japan (several times) and to China (several times) I can say that Japan wins hands down. The biggest downside to Japan is that it is more expensive. However...that aside I think that aside from the other points you made you I feel you did not fully address (even though I know you said you would not address politics but as to how that pertains to living in China, it matters) 1) the ability to breathe. The air and water in Japan is actually clean as opposed to how stunningly polluted and dirty China's is. Japan uses a lot of clean energy (wind, solar, electric cars), and half of everyone rides bicycles to most places. That's a huge win. 2) The freedom....plain and simple. The fact that you have access to any and all media (print, music, internet etc) without government censorship, banning and heavy handedness. Basically there is political freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech and association. You can put your fingers in your ears and go "lalalalala" all you want in an effort to ignore the politics but it's the reality and affects one's life. That too is a huge win for Japan. And absolutely the manners and way of thinking and behaving of the people really matters. Japanese people have never ceased to amaze me in terms of their kindness and treatment of me as a guest in their country. I once traveled first to Beijing and then afterwards to Osaka. I have to say that the staff in Beijing airport were the most rude, aggressive, and hostile assholes I have ever experienced at any airport. While when I arrived at Osaka the airport staff could not have been more kind and nice to me and made the process of going through immigration border on a pleasure as opposed to the stress and anger I felt in Beijing. You can call that an adventure all you want. But how I am treated as a human being matters to me. The Chinese still have a LOT to learn about how to treat people visiting their country(hint: not like criminals) And so Japan wins hands down for me.

really? I understood it was a kind of developmental contition. Of course all babies can drink milk, but as default they stop producing lactase after a certain age. In fact, not being lactose intolerant is probably a mutation. Maybe the development of lactose intolerance is influenced by the presence of lactose in one's body, in which case it would still be genetic but influenced by the environment (epigenetic). I still believe most lactose intolerance is because of genetic factors though, allowing europeans to produce lactose far longer than most asians throughout their lifespans for example.

The most different between Japan and China is that China is a multi-ethnic country. Not all the peoples in China are talking louder, it's due to pronunciation...I even can not understand what are they (the couple in the bus) talking about. Cantonese may be one of the popular dialects in China since Guangzhou is a major city in Mainland China. But most people speak Mandarin as official language which typified by the Peking dialect. I was born in Shanghai so I also can speak Wu dialect which be used only in Shanghai and Zhejiang. If you come to Shanghai, you will find the peoples here are more polite.

I think he's talking about learning the spoken language, to an intermediate level. In that case, it is of course much easier than Chinese, and a lot easier than most languages. The pronunciation is extremely simple, and the grammar is easier than most European languages. Learning Japanese to an advanced level requires being able to read it, which is VERY difficult.

Japan developed much sooner than China of course. Japan is fantastic. Three negative points that stand out though, are 1.) high suicide rate 2.) long work hours with NO COMPENSATION for "overtime" 3.) low pay for outrageous cost of living. The Japanese work so hard. Its not fair they don't get to enjoy more free time. There should be a declaration of human rights to end long working hours.

I really love China, most people are very polite, there is so much you can do and the food is so diverse and generally it´s very inexpensive to spend time in China. Japan however is really exceptional in almost every way. I have never seen a country that keeps their cities so clean and I´ve never seen any other country, where the people are so civilizated and helpful. The mentality in Japan is what I like the most about this Country, we all can learn from them!

Hi,I'm a Chinese international student , now I'm studying in Canada. I love China actually, but I also admit that China has many problems . But they are changing now, China has made a big progress these years, not only the economic, but also the people's manners. Some Chinese old people's behaviors are not good, because China's education condition was not good when they are young. Do you know something about the Chinese culture revolution? But now, Chinese education has developed a lot, so you can find that young people's manners are much better than that of the olds. I used to travelled to Japan, similar to you, I think Japanese have good manners. But one day I went online, I understood that Japanese manners were also not good at the beginning. They have the good manners now because of the development of society. So I believe that Chinese manners and environment can be much better. I hope China and Japan can be peaceful forever.

Awesome unbiased & objective analysis. Love your videos.✌️😊

China has a very huge population...At least 1400000000.....

I've lived in both and I will say this about them. From an environmental perspective Japan wins hands down, its just plain nicer. But from a personal relationship perspective I prefer Chinese people. Don't get me wrong the Japanese are lovely people, but I always found them to be somewhat reserved in an informal setting even when you know them well. I always felt like there was some sort of invisible hard to overcome barrier between us. This is not something I've found in China. As soon as I've been taken in to their inner circle then I have felt like one of the family, their generosity has blown me away at times and I really appreciate them for that. On the subject of language, its very hard to compare the two. It is like comparing Russian to English. The written language has some crossover but the grammar and spoken languages are completely unrelated. From my perspective Japanese was slightly easier overall than Chinese due to a slightly more forgiving writing system and the absence of tones. But either one is a serious undertaking for a native English speaker. Finally if you won't take my word for it then my Japanese friend who studied with me at Tsinghua has told me many a horror story about the working culture in Japan where she would regularly start work at 9am and put in shifts until 3am the next day. Working in Japan can be very punishing and she much prefers living in Hong Kong to Tokyo for that reason alone.

It is extremely hard to marry a Japanese girl in Japan and in general, you will feel isolated if you try to move to Japan and live there.

Good video! I've lived in Japan for a while, and have only traveled in China (though I lived in Vietnam for years, which shares more than a few similarities). For people going overseas to teach English, which a lot are, and have no specific interest in Japan (and are perhaps looking for an adventure) I would almost be more quick to recommend China. The cost of living to salary will allow a lot more travel potential in country, as well as in the surrounding areas, and China overall just feels a little more alien and different to the 'western world'. I really enjoy Japan, and am enjoying it more now more than ever, but part of this is from having a fair amount of experience and decent credentials to move up the chain here (even if it is in the context of teaching English). It's fairly competitive here, and China just has a lot more accessible opportunities.

The comment section of this video is disappointing. A lot of narrowminded polarized views. Of either hating China or hating Japan. Did any of those people even watch the video?

One time I was having an asthma attack I collapsed, and they all rushed to help me, and a lot of them called the ambulance. One Chinese guy was putting water in my mouth because I was also sweating a lot, while a Hawaiian Japanese woman was cuddling me trying to keep my head up and prevent me from fully fainting. I find Asians to be more helpful than some of these Americans is what I'm saying. Japanese and young Chinese tend to be very polite and helpful, some middle age Chinese are very nice too.

China on the other hand is much better. generally More genuine and natural people who are slightly easier to befriend (and they doesn't need to get drunk to show you who they are), cheaper rent and services, more welcoming atmosphere. China definitely wins. unlike japan which is just a stricter copy of China.

Thank you so much for your video .its amazing! You mentioned that there are only a few Japanese can speak English even though Japan has been open to the west for a long time . I think it is the same for Chinese .I used to wondering why most Chinese even in my generation who are bored in 1990 and well educated can’t speak English , we have been taught English for 9 years , but for most of my friends their language level reach the peak when they were in high school and could barely speak a full sentence after graduation from university. but when I saw some Video about Vietnam I find Vietnamese both government officials and citizens speak English very good which surprised me and lead me to thinking the reason behind it. But I at least see something in common between Japanese and Chinese.hahha

Japanese culture is actually practically more eastern than Chinese culture in daily life. Politeness, conformity, social hierarchy and saving face is way more a respected social norm than in china. Except Japan doesn't do this through family values and the state doesn't control its culture. BUT way more, into institutions school and workplaces and Japanese people have a extreme habit of working very hard and long hours. This made foreigners even Chinese living in japan at public spaces meeting the people feel they are hard to talk to, conservative, backward, rigid, or close minded. Often bosses being very oppressive at work . They struggle and need to fit in the society who live here, without the government or politicians in fact doing any stuff. Even Chinese often feel the Japanese are too extreme on many issues in daily life. It's that Chinese people suffer from family issues a lot at home. Japanese people don't cling on family that much and have good privacy as they grow up. But foreigners usually befriend people without them everyday getting clutched by the work and local culture they do. But Japanese people are open to critisize their culture if they realize on national level and system what's going on and are willing to change without being policed by the goverment for every opinion. Even if life in Japan today is more alienated to the west than China. Japan doesn't mind learning from foreign cultures. And the majority of the people decide that by their own to look for. Chinese people online often tells the west we are not like them are more like you in the west . Yet they dislike the western culture, are very defensive about changing its status quo on social reform and we own the eastern cultural atmosphere of asia in history. The government wants to be sure only their Chinese eastern vision (which should be seen as better than Japan and the west) must be heard over the world and to its people. Japanese society doesn't care what the government thinks. They may be proud of being Japanese, but see their culture not as a static concept. They carefully looks what is useful to them to change if the people want to change. Japan changes step by step every decade to some western cultural standards. If you want to live alone in japan, it's fine you have freedom at your house. Goverment doesn't spy you. But society is hard to be part with if you don't follow their norms. You can enjoy and visiting Japan for its top service and quality made their society.
