日本を嫌っているのはだれか？
私は19のアジアの国々と，アジア以外の50の国々を訪れたことがある．
ほぼ20年に渡って海外に住んで旅をしてきた．
メディアは，世界が日本に背を向けているかのようにほのめかしているが，
メディアは，世界が日本に背を向けているかのようにほのめかしているが，
でも実際には，
日本よりも評判の良い国はカナダ，ドイツ，あるいはオーストラリアだろう．
（最後は私の推測だ — 知りようが無いので.）
ドイツとカナダはとても評判が良い — 私自身がよく知っている．
ドイツとカナダはとても評判が良い — 私自身がよく知っている．
日本もだ．私が旅してきた国で，
日本を嫌っているのはたった二つの国だけだ．
中国 — 永遠の情動マシーンそしてどんどん
巨大化するグローバルな圧制者．二つ目は非常に理性のない大韓民国だ．
韓国の日本嫌いは度を超している，
韓国の日本嫌いは度を超している，
彼らはにこやかな日本人よりも
核兵器を携えた北朝鮮を受け入れるだろう．
私は北朝鮮には行ったことがないが，北朝鮮というのは無力で，国としては全く正気では無い．
メディアのリポートを読むと，まるで日本が近隣諸国から嫌われているかのように書かれているが，

メディアのリポートを読むと，まるで日本が近隣諸国から嫌われているかのように書かれているが，
実際の所，中国や韓国以外とはうまくやっている．
ここタイでは，人々は日本人に好意を抱いている．日本人は礼儀正しい，親切だ．
ここタイでは，人々は日本人に好意を抱いている．日本人は礼儀正しい，親切だ．
滅多に問題をおこさない．
一方で中国人と韓国人はと言えば，…まぁ，イメージチェンジが必要だ．
香港，台湾，シンガポール，インドネシア，-- 皆，日本が好きだ．
アジアは日本に嫌っていると書いてある記事を見かけたら，
それは現地の雰囲気を何も知らずに，
また正確な情報を持っていないジャーナリストの記事という印だ．
アジアの中で日本人は非常に尊敬されていて歓迎されている．
大体において，私が旅した国々では，アメリカ人も非常に歓迎されている．

Who Hates Japan?
I have been to about 19 Asian countries, and about 50 more countries outside of Asia. That is about 20 years living and traveling abroad.
The media would make out that the world is turning its back on Japan, but in reality the only countries more popular than Japan might Canada and Germany, or maybe Australia. (My guesses -- I have no way to know.)
Germany and Canada are very popular -- that much I know, and so is Japan. Only two countries that I have travelled hate Japan, and those are PRC -- the perpetual emotion machine and growing global tyrant. The other is the very irrational Republic of Korea.
Hatred for Japan in South Korea is so irrational that they would rather see NORKS with nukes than Japanese with smiles.
I have not been to North Korea but we can all see that the NORKS are a basket case, and as a country goes, insane.
Yet when I read media reports, it sounds like Japan is reviled by all of its neighbors, when in fact Japan gets along with everyone other than PRC and the Koreas.
Here in Thailand, Thai people love Japanese. Japanese are polite, friendly, rarely cause any problem. Whereas Mainland (PRC) Chinese and Koreans, well...they need an image makeover.
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia -- all like Japan.
When you read articles saying that Asia has turned against Japan, that is an indicator of an ill-informed journalist who has no idea about the atmospherics here. Japanese are highly respected and welcomed around Asia.
For the most part, Americans also are highly welcomed in nearly all of the many dozens of countries I have travelled.
