95%+ of foreigners in Japan are Chinese and S. Korean. Korean TV stars have their own rack at the magazine and book store.

You really see pride come out during Asian sporting events, but I think for the most part the younger generations of Asians are looking forward.
I can't say for sure, but I believe he was referring to the attitudes of the general people, including politicians; a combination of both citizens and the government. It's similar, in nature, to a conspiracy theory, but not quite the same thing -- if that makes sense.

I agree, it doesn't immediately seem like there is any significant hatred between the countries, especially judging from the booming Entertainment Industry. Which is why I was somewhat confused by the whole notion.
