Relations between China and Japan turned sour last September when a Chinese fishing boat collided near disputed territory with two Japanese patrol vessels. Now, in Japan, public sentiment toward China has hit its lowest point in decades. In China, people are finding jobs and have fewer reasons to worry, said Phil Deans, of Temple University, Japan Campus. "But on the Japanese side, the anti-Chinese sentiment has spread from just the typical crazies to the disaffected youth. Graduates are not finding jobs, the country isn't growing, and in a period like that you kind of want something to complain about."
