There was a ton of anti-Japanese sentiment and anti-Japanese protests a few years ago in China due to a disputed island and news of Japanese textbooks redacting attrocities committed in WWII, etc.
It seems to have abated over recent years but it also doesn't help that Mainland Chinese cinema and popular culture is rife with jingo-istic anti-Japanese war films and what amounts to sheer Asian on Asian racism with them always portrayed as the bad guys in everything from medieval to modern times.
