While the public remains negative about Chinese outbursts against Japan, a recent survey indicates that more than 70% of Japanese view the current state of Japan-China relations as unacceptable. More people are not supporting Koizumi’s annual pilgrimage to Yasukuni, with seven former prime ministers jointly demanding that he refrain from the visits.
甚至日本一些人也开始对小泉持批评意见。虽然公众仍旧觉得中国人对日本爆发愤怒不可理喻，但是最近一项调查显示70%多的日本人认为日中关系当前的这种状态不可接受。更多的人不支持小泉每年参拜靖国神社，七位前首相联合要求他放弃参拜。
