You can see at a glance if you read a Foreign Ministry release, but this study is the first place to a survey of "What do you think of Japan?", Not a survey that can be taken by ASEAN, "Where is an important partner in the future?".
As a result of investigating the image of Japan in the ASEAN countries,
?. Trust to Japan relationship with Japan that "reliable" is → 93% → 96% is "in the friendly relations."
?. Japan Image → 86% is "country science and technology is developed" Japanese image → 81% is "a hardworking"
?. Evaluation → 92% for Japan's economic and technical cooperation "has helped" Japan Evaluation → 93% is "welcome" for the company contribution to the Asia development of Japan → 87% is "Il really"
?. ASEAN of important partners currently → 30% is "China", 28% "Japan" future → 33% is "China", 23 percent "Japan"
Each country
Indonesia currently → 38% is "Japan", 13% "China" future → 29% is "Japan", 19% "China"
Philippines currently → 33% is "Japan", 9% "China" future → 33% is "Japan", 15 percent "China"
Vietnam currently → 43% is "Japan", 17 percent "China" future → 32% is "Japan", 22% "China"

Thailand currently → 43% is "China", 25 percent "Japan" future → 57% is "pair", 19% "Japan"
?. To the UN Security Council permanent member of the Security Council, Japan should become do you think? → 78% is "yes" (hereinafter omitted)
You point was can understand us.
First, the investigation of "important partner?" Is, despite the is one of the six items, are reported with a focus on it "only". In addition, Indonesia (population 200 million 20 million people), the Philippines (population 87 million people), Vietnam (83 million inhabitants) population in many countries the three countries that, Japan is rated as overwhelmingly "important partner", Singapore (400 million people), Malaysia (27 million inhabitants), Thailand three countries the population is less that (63 million inhabitants), and China in overseas Chinese force is overwhelmingly strong three countries are "important partner" only it has been evaluated Despite, write to "Chinese important partner" was rated as consensus of the entire ASEAN misleading.
Moreover, which is the main purpose of the questionnaire for the survey that "are or? Be if I thought about Japan" does not touch at all. (Especially matter of the UN Security Council, would not want absolutely to touch)
This is the Japanese media standard level of.
Why Jiji Press is here to outright misleading, no, what have deployed propaganda. Since the reason I wrote in the "ninth chapter to a new century of Big Brother", although you omitted, from the back surface of the Jiji Press article, has said, "ASEAN is also an important Chinese partner . It 'Is not it Japan. only Japan is also going to China and friendship, that I'm not the way "to live in this earlier, you'll hear the voice of betrayal of one's own country reporters.
In an era that you can directly access to the primary source of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this blatant propaganda.
The date on which the business model of the Japanese media, including Jiji Press to collapse, probably the day after tomorrow or tomorrow.
