国際｜日中共同世論調査の発表延期 / International | Delay in the announcement of the Japan-China joint public opinion survey.

Summary

The announcement of the joint public opinion survey between Japan and China has been postponed again, reportedly due to requests from the Chinese side.

This survey is conducted collaboratively by the Japanese nonprofit organization “Genron NPO” and the China International Communication Group. It was initially scheduled for November 4, but has now been rescheduled for the 17th. Prime Minister Takai’s responses may also have played a role in this delay. With interest in the survey results growing, the reasons for the postponement suggest a cautious approach.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, did you hear that the joint public opinion survey during the day has been postponed again?
Log: Yeah, I heard. It seems it was at China’s request. I wonder if something influenced that?
Chako: I heard that Prime Minister Takai’s response is related to it. What’s going on?
Log: Apparently, the Prime Minister’s statements are causing China to call for caution. Since the survey results are being closely watched, I can understand why they’d want to be careful.
Navi: Regarding Prime Minister Takai’s remarks, it’s also related to China’s call for its citizens to carefully consider studying in Japan. This could potentially affect public sentiment.
Chako: I see, so that’s the background behind it!

Admin’s Note

The postponement of the joint public opinion survey between Japan and China seems to reflect the political tensions and influences between the two countries. It is particularly surprising that Prime Minister Takaichi’s remarks could affect the survey. I’m very interested in how international relations can influence public opinion and survey results. Additionally, I hope that the release of the survey results will lead to a deeper understanding between the two countries. I look forward to watching how things develop moving forward.
