Chinese in Japan?
 

This might be a bit early to worry about this... but... ever since the recent Chinese-Japanese fisherman business things might not look so good with me going to Japan.

I've tried to read as much about it on here, but I'm not really getting anything on how Japanese (generally) treat Chinese. I'm not saying all of them would hate Chinese (like how not all of the Chinese hate Japanese).

Can anyone give me some insight? I'm planning to go there in the future.

I was born in Canada, and speak fluent English.

Japan announced they will release the captain. Things are already settling down.

Oh... (shrugs) Thanks ;D! hehe... oh well if there is racism I guess I'll just have to tell them I was born in Canada.

Trust me. You have nothing to worry about. The number of lynchings of Chinese in city squares in Japan is really down this year, as are the number of race riots.

Thanks! Phew!

You can experience racism　mainly on the Internet.Reaction to the fisherman business things is a far more calmer than that of Chinese(maybe extremists).Though,Japanese government is criticized.
Most important thing that can make Japanese people hate Chinese is crimes (sex industry,thieves,drugs,illegal entry,overstay,).I don't mean only Chinese commit crimes.Actually Chinese and Japanese criminals come together.

@MMM
Lynchings of Chinese?Race riots?Do you mean Ikebukuro　matter?Uyoku?

No, just a lame attempt at a joke.

Well... I'm a clean Chinese ;D! that doesn't cause trouble! I heard of some Chinese people who illegally enter Japan. Well... we have the Chinese Triads, and you guys have the Yakuza. I would think they respect each other and treat each other professionally.

Why would you think the members of one criminal organization would treat the members of another with any respect?

Only when they are making money for each other is there any respect or professionalism. Otherwise they are getting in each other's way.

I guess I have the wrong image of them ;/. Somehow I had an image of them being a business... I don't know any of them, and I've never seen any of them, so I wouldn't know.

Yeah, they are getting in each others way though.

Justin, this incident is no different then Russia flying jets into Canadian territory and waiting to be chased back.

The difference is, China continues to push into into territory which is disputed, and they aren't just buzzing the border as Russia does.

Japan facing public flack has started taking direct action, think of it like when our Fisheries Minister impounded the Spanish fishing trawler years ago. Did we go to war with Spain ? Nope, but the point was made.

Japan is concerned about China's moves, you don't want someone pushing it's weight around like that.

But this is in no way something like what recently happened in Soviet Georgia.

It's saber rattling, more a show of politics then intent.

Because pure and simple if China wants it, China could take it and there's squat the Japanese SDF could do to stop them. Both sides know this.

I think I remember the Spanish fishing trawler... yeah, I didn't think we would have started a war with them.

Hehe, I'm just glad there's not going to be anything serious other than politics...
