90% of popular vote by Japanese netizens against Chinese tourists visiting
(27 Jul) On 22 July, the Japanese government announced that it would begin negotiations with 12 countries, including Taiwan, on measures to ease restrictions on business travel. A Japanese netizen recently tweeted, "I would like to ask everyone a question: after the pandemic ends, which nation's visitors would you least wish to visit Japan?" The options included the USA, Taiwan, China, and Other (countries). In the end, 21048 people voted. 89.5% of Japanese netizens chose China.
This response greatly upset Chinese netizens, who retorted, "You don't want us to come but you want to take our money?"
Taiwanese netizens laughed and said, "The Japanese understand that Taiwan and China are separate", "How have I not seen any Chinese netizens saying that Taiwan is not a country lol" and "What a surprise, looks like we're different from China XD".
