First, China and Japan have problems in the division of territory and sea areas, especially the Diaoyu Islands issue, which has been hotly debated for more than a year.
Second, the governments of both sides, including the people of both sides, have different understandings of historical issues. In particular, some practices and decrees of the Japanese government on historical issues have disgusted many people in China, which is a very important reason for the tension between China and Japan.
Third, the power contrast between China and China has changed greatly. With the rapid growth and recession of Japan's economy, some people worry that China will adopt policies aimed at Japan after its economic development.
Fourth, there is some competition between China and Japan on the issue of resources, especially energy.
Fifth, there is a trend of strengthening nationalism in the two countries, which makes the relationship between the two countries emotional and more complicated.
Sixth, there are many misunderstandings and prejudices between the two countries, especially among the people. Just as many people in China think that the Japanese are engaging in militarism, many people in China also think that the Japanese are engaging in hegemonism.
Seventh, the politics of China and Japan have changed, the relationship between the government and the people has been adjusted, the government's activities of leading and controlling the people have weakened, and some extreme and radical voices of the people have been fully displayed, sometimes playing a negative role.
Outlook:
On the whole, Sino-Japanese relations will continue to play games in 20 13, and only when the game reaches a certain balance can bilateral relations turn around.
20 13, China and Japan will definitely continue to oppose the Diaoyu Islands issue on many international issues. If there is no substantial integration in the industry and no progress in the financial sector, this deadlock will continue. Only when the game reaches a certain balance can the relationship between the two sides turn for the better.
