One reason is that some people simply do not like and do not trust the Japanese. But there is another reason for this stereotype: some Japanese individuals say things in public that tend to only fuel people’s fears and make them think the very worst about Japan, one of the world’s great cultures.
Take Shintaro Ishihara, the governor of Tokyo, one of Japan’s most popular politicians (alas), and the co-author of the infamous, angry book, A Japan That Can Say No.
In an exclusive article distributed by the Los Angeles-based Global Viewpoint, Mr Ishihara attacks China from almost every conceivable angle. And given the timing – in the heat of the worst political atmospherics in East Asia in recent memory – his gratuitous attack is deeply regrettable.
