媒体的消极报道后为什么那么多日本人还去中国游玩，游后感如何？ [美国媒体]

Why do a significant amount of Japanese visit China if media portrays China as hostile? What do Japanese people feel about China after traveling?

I hate to sound like a downer, but is there a source to verify that a significant number of Japanese people visit China? Because my experience tells me something completely different.

好像并没有太多人去日本旅游吧？因为我的经验告诉我事实刚好相反。

I’ve visited Beijing about 10 times. I think I’ve only seen Japanese tourists on the streets of Beijing only once or twice my entire life (and both times, they were salarymen there for business). On the other hand, I see Japanese tourists literally everywhere in Taiwan just for fun. There were salarymen, families, and even schoolgirls wearing their school uniform everywhere I look in Taipei. I’ve had Japanese tourists asked me for directions or to take a picture of them (one guy actually still had a film camera! Seriously, who still uses film cameras?); none of that happened in Beijing.

我去了北京十次左右了。只在北京街头见过日本游客一两次，而且都是去那里出差的上班族。另一方面，我发现好多日本人去台湾旅游的。有上班族，一家人，甚至好多日本女学生穿着校服出现在台北。有日本游客向我问路，或者给他们拍照，其中一人甚至还在使用胶片摄像机，说真的，现在谁还用那玩意拍照啊。而在北京就没有这种情况发生了。

I have been to China four times, in Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guangdong, Yunnan and Sichuan. It's alright, the people have been generally nice and helpful to me.

我去了中国四次，北京，西安，上海，广东，云南，四川。那里的人一般都友好帮助我。

I think the media mostly portrays the government in a bad light, not the people or the country/culture. It's the same as how Chinese media often portrays the Japanese government in a bad light but from my experience Chinese people I have met have a very positive image of Japan and Japanese people.

我认为媒体大体上都消极报道政府，而不是消极报道人民或者国家/文化。同样的中国媒体也是消极报道日本政府，但是根据我的经理，我所遇到的中国人对日本及日本人有着非常积极的看法。

Politics should not affect how people perceive each others, I'm not a fan of a number of political leaders in the world, but that doesn't mean I hate their country or people.

政治不应该影响人们互相之间的看待。我不喜欢世界上的很多政治领导人，但这并不意味着我仇恨他们的国家或人民。

Okay. I visited China 2 times. I feel like I have to answer this. The media, well it only portray that Chinese tourist are getting trouble, Polluted cities, island disputes, etc.

我去过中国两次。我觉得我应该来回答这个问题。媒体只报道说中国游客惹麻烦，污染的城市，岛屿争议等等。

Actually, Japanese impression of China is like “China? Its…Big, huge, and food is bad/good”. Nothing beyond that. Some also think how amazing Chinese historical stories are (Like me). Basically China is out of our everyday minds.

实际上日本人对中国印象是“中国？很大，食物很糟糕/很好。”仅此而已。有些人可能还会觉得中国的历史故事很不错（比如我）。基本上，人们的日常生活里不会想到中国。

I discover China because the Great Wall and the Forbidden City (basically the place with the Mao Zedong portrait). And i really wished to visit them. Finally I could! In 2013, though I only visitted some famous spots in the East and Xi’an.

我因为长城和紫禁城才发现了中国。真的很想去看看。最终在2013年的时候，虽然只访问了东部的一些景点以及西安。

There is a lot of cross border trade at the Vietnam-China border. People from both sides cross this border on a daily basis. Additionally, many Vietnamese cross the border into China to work then come back to Vietnam at the end of the day.

中越边境有很多跨境贸易。每天两边的人都会跨境。此外，很多越南人早上去中国上班，晚上回越南。
