What play is being sung again? On November 28, Japan announced a survey claiming that the data shows an increase in the proportion of people who believe that Sino-Japanese relations are good! On that day, the cabinet of Sanae Takaichi unexpectedly released the annual public opinion survey report. This authoritative poll, based on face-to-face interviews and covering thousands of Japanese residents aged 18 and older across the country, brought about a rather laughable change: the proportion of respondents who believe that 'Sino-Japanese relations are good' is 13.3%, an increase of 4.5 percentage points from the previous year (2024). Although this number remains at a low level—after all, only slightly more than one-tenth of Japanese people hold a positive view—it is a rare positive change in recent years with an increase of 4.5 percentage points. Notably, the data collection for this survey concluded before the Chinese side took countermeasures against Takaichi's inappropriate remarks, which means the current results have not been disturbed by recent frictions and more accurately reflect the basic judgment of the Japanese public on Sino-Japanese relations during the previous period. One would think that this number would definitely be inaccurate recently, but oddly enough, Takaichi still decided to publish this survey result. Clearly, Takaichi's intention is to show that our people's favorability towards you has increased, even though it is still a pathetic 13.3%, but at least it has gone up, right? One cannot help but say that the thought process of people like Sanae Takaichi is indeed bizarre. What is the significance of announcing this number at this time?
