The complex nature of Sino-Japanese relationship Part 4 China and Japan were very close in the 1980s.This honeymoon ended in the first half of the 1990s when anti-Japan education campaign was launched. 1976 marked the end of ten-year-long devastating and chaotic Cultural Revolution [6] .Ironically,most Chinese people experienced a cultural vacuum during this revolution.A Chinese writer A Cheng recalled that many books were banned and he could only find these authors’ book in the local bookstore:Karl Marx,Friedrich Engels,Vladimir Lenin,Joseph Stalin,Mao Zedong and Lu Xun.The amount and themes of movies during that period was very limited. Many Japanese movies and TV series were imported into China in the early 1980s and became extremely popular immediately.Japanese movies and TV series were new to Chinese audience eyes.Ken Takakura,Tomokazu Miura,Momoe Yamaguchi became household names in China. Besides entertainment and cultural products,Japan also provided China with tremendous economic aids and technological supports in the 1980s. According to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan [8] ,The aid program Official Development Assistance (ODA) to China began in 1979 and from that time to the present, approximately 3.3164 trillion yen(32.5 billion USD) in loan aid (yen loans), 157.2 billion yen(1.5 billion USD) in grant aid, and 181.7 billion yen(1.7 billion USD) in technical cooperation have been implemented. The turning point was the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 [9] .Protestors,most of whom college students,were unhappy with the widespread corruption in the ruling Communist Party of China and wanted a new government.The protest was crushed in 4th of June when Chinese soldiers opened fire against protestors. As a result,Chinese government was sanctioned by many countries.(Japan was the first country to resume its aid program) Five days after the Tiananmen incident,then Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said this to high-ranking military officers [10] [11] :”I told foreigners that the biggest mistake we made in the last ten years was education.I’m mainly talking about political education.”Mr. Deng believed that the partial reason of tens of thousands of students took to the street was a lack of political education. Political education in China is mainly about the Communist Party’s achievements and ideological theories. Deng Xiaoping’s logic is this: if young Chinese know more about Communist Party’s achievements and ideological theories,they tend to become more patriotic and less rebellious.
