Japan in the international community toward China in the war of public opinion not only today.
As early as during the Sino-Japanese war, Japan took advantage of Western countries like the UK, France and the United States, rendering the newspaper "China does not comply with international law" and "China is not part of the civilized world" and other information, in order to emphasize its so-called war against China, "justice", in particular suggesting that between Japan and "civilized" and "savage" contrast. In the following decades, Japan when it comes to large-scale act of aggression against China, Japan's public opinion warfare always go hand in hand, or hype in China "row", or to trouble accusing China of "provoking" the facts, confuse right and wrong, said the list goes on.
Japan's public opinion warfare continued a century in the future will also heat up
In recent years, as Japan game full speed toward China, the war of public opinion toward China in the international community is also warmed up rapidly. It is interesting, focus Japan operations of the war of public opinion, rather than a century ago, "seniors" are the same: accused China of "lack of respect for international law", stressed that Japan is "advanced democracies", rendering the "China threat", claimed that China's domestic "anti-" emotional ... ...
Throughout Japan to rhetoric, makes people feel its more than 100 years to the routine of the war of public opinion has not changed, just happens to have some language the changing of the times.
Worth noting is that the last two years, Japan's Foreign Ministry and other departments of the promotion budget has been greatly increased, and was also included on the Diaoyu Island issue, such as special funds for specific projects.
Can be expected in the next few years, Japan in the China war of public opinion around the world will continue to heat up. This is a war, but an invisible smoke of war. In this war the Japanese reporters, editors, academics, NGO, think tanks actually warrior with the force, while newspapers and TV channels, the Internet and various social activities has become a battlefield.
Japan's Foreign Ministry (information above) Face of the war of public opinion China stepped up to master skills
For China, encounter slings are not terrible--it is the inevitable stages of rise of Nations and it is left to our task. If we cannot resolve the predecessor does not solve the problem, they cannot achieve their predecessors failed to achieve the target. From this perspective, how to deal with Japan's global war of public opinion, is both a challenge for China, China an important opportunity to enrich and improve their abilities.
In particular, in the field of international public opinion, China should not only strengthen the "vocal", attention should also learn "vocal skill", in a more professional way to let the international community understand their point of view and voice. International public opinion is not simply "propaganda" and "adverse publicity", not just "external propaganda", which involved complex Affairs, policy, legal, economic and other factors, actors and staff have raised very high demands. Japan has a very professional team, have mature bodies and platforms, there are mechanisms that run for a long time, there is coverage around the network.
In the United Kingdom think tank event, for example, Japan is not only in the "borrow her mouth" and "mouths", established relationships, through Rifkind, United Kingdom politician, said Japan wanted to spread freedom. To be sure, this was not alone, it is not is a State in the United Kingdom for, but affect the widespread practice of manipulating public opinion abroad.
In order to effectively hit back at Japan, have to find proper ways, and cannot be a simple vocal opposition.
How to more effectively disseminate China's voice in "people"
In order to better disseminate China's voice to the international community, not only needs to be adjusted and enriched policy support, you also need to strengthen institutions and the construction of talents team. All the work boils down to "people" to complete. As a journalist, for example, Japan familiar to many foreign correspondents of news operations, and often is an international expert in the field of – such as security, marine, terrorism, international law, and their respective news organizations often send reporters to State think tank, the University exchanges. In the process of learning exchanges, these reporters are not only to be more thorough understanding of object state, also able to work with all sectors of the country, "friends", "expand the network", on a daily basis, "subtle" to transmit ideas, influence the other mainstream social cognition. These approaches require policies, mechanisms and financial support is indispensable for the country.
It is well known that international competition in today's world is not only the competition of hard power and soft power. In the composition factors of soft power and influence is an important part of international public opinion. In recent decades, hard power of China's development are obvious, influence in the realm of soft power also worth noting. But with regard to influence international public opinion and facing more complex challenges, and we are going to do still a lot of work, is a "long way to go." This can be a generation or more time to complete their tasks, but also tasks that must be completed.

日本花钱收买英国智库抹黑中国
日本花钱买通英国智库抹黑中国。
据英国《星期日泰晤士报》披露，日本驻英国大使馆每月用1万英镑（约合8.7万人民币）收买英国智库“亨利·杰克逊协会”，以进行反华宣传，包括聘请像英国前外交大臣马尔科姆·里夫金德这样的英国政客。
网络图 里夫金德承认与“亨利·杰克逊协会”接触
里夫金德承认，“亨利·杰克逊协会”曾与他联系，说服他用自己的名字为去年8月刊载在英媒上的一篇文章署名。这篇文章题为《若让中国参与欣克利角核电项目，中国将如何在紧要关头关掉英国的电灯》，造谣中国可能利用后门技术操控核电站。
里夫金德称，他并不知道“亨利·杰克逊协会”与日本大使馆有金钱关系。
英媒：日本曾试图联系两家机构传播“中国威胁论”
此外，《星期日泰晤士报》还报道说，该报记者曾见到一份起草于去年年初的资料，涉及“亨利·杰克逊协会”与一家名为“媒体情报伙伴”的英国公关公司。资料内容为由两家机构以每月1.5万英镑的价格为日本大使馆定制“沟通战略”，在英国主流媒体上与高层政客中渲染“中国威胁论”，最终“亨利·杰克逊协会”以1万英镑的价格独自承担了这项“沟通战略”的实施。
新华社日前向日本驻英使馆发去电子邮件，要求对《星期日泰晤士报》的报道进行评论。使馆确认收到邮件但至今仍未回复。新华社记者同时致信“亨利·杰克逊协会”，协会发言人称不会透露任何具体细节。
换句话说，涉事双方既没肯定也没否认自己是否参与其中。
日本为何要收买专家智库抹黑中国？面对日本的这种做法，我们该怎么办？
央视评论
日本在国际社会中的对华舆论战并非今天才有。
早在甲午战争时期，日本就利用西方报纸向英国、法国和美国等国渲染“中国不遵守国际法”、“中国尚不属于文明世界”等信息，以强调其所谓的对华战争“正义性”，特别是暗示日中之间“文明”与“野蛮”的对比。在此后的数十年间，每逢日本要对中国开展大规模侵略行动时，日方的舆论战总是如影随形，或是炒作中国国内有“排日”情绪，或是制造事端指责中方“挑衅”，其颠倒黑白、混淆是非之说不胜枚举。
日本对华舆论战持续百年 未来还将升温
近年来，随着日本对华博弈全面加速，其在国际社会的对华舆论战同样迅速升温。耐人寻味的是，日方舆论战的操作重点，与其百年前的“前辈”们如出一辙：指责中国“不尊重国际法”，强调日本是“先进民主国家”，渲染“中国威胁”，宣称中国国内有“反日”情绪……
纵观日方说辞，让人感到其一百年多年来的舆论战套路并未改变，只不过加上了一些时代语言的变化而已。
值得注意的是，最近两年来，日本外务省等部门的宣传经费已经大为增加，还列入了关于钓鱼岛问题等具体项目的专项经费。
可以预计，今后几年，日本在世界范围内的对华舆论战还会继续升温。这同样是一场战争，只是一场看不见硝烟的战争。在这场战争中，日本的记者、编辑、学者、NGO、智库成为实质上的战士与部队，而报纸、电视频道、互联网和各类社会活动则成为战场。
日本外务省（资料图） 面对舆论战 中国要加强力度掌握技巧
对中国而言，遇到明枪暗箭并不可怕——这是崛起中大国必然经历的阶段，也是历史留给我们的任务。如果我们不能解决前辈没有解决的问题，也就无法达到前辈未能实现的目标。从这一角度而言，如何应对日本的全球舆论战，既是对中国的挑战，也是中国充实和提高自身能力的重要机会。
具体而言，在国际舆论场中，中国不仅应当加强“发声力度”，还应当注意学习“发声技巧”，用更加专业的方式让国际社会了解自己的观点和声音。国际舆论战并不是简单的“宣传”与“反宣传”，也并不仅仅是“外宣”，其涉及到复杂的外交、政策、法律、经济等因素，对于从业机构和人员都提出了极高要求。日本在此方面有非常专业的队伍，有成熟的机构和平台，有长期运行的机制，还有覆盖全球的广泛人脉。
以此次英国智库事件为例，日方不仅是在“借嘴说话”，而且是在“买嘴说话”，利用既有人际关系，通过里夫金德等英国政治人物之口，说出日本想要散布的言论。可以确信，日方这种做法并非孤例，也绝非是在英国一国所为，而是一种影响操控海外舆论的普遍做法。
要有效回击日方行为，必须找出相应的妥善办法，而不能是简单地发声反对。
如何更有效地传播中国声音 重点在“人”
为了向国际社会更好地传播中国声音，不仅仅需要调整和充实政策支持，还需要加强机构与人才队伍的建设。一切工作，归根结底都要由“人”来完成。以记者为例，日本的很多驻外记者既熟悉新闻业务，又往往是某一国际领域的专家——如安全、海洋、反恐、国际法等，其所属新闻机构还经常派遣这些记者到对象国智库、大学进修交流。在进修交流过程中，这些记者不仅能够更加透彻地了解对象国，还能够与对象国各界人士“交朋友”、“拓人脉”，在日常生活中“潜移默化”地传递观点，影响对方主流社会的认知。这些做法都需要政策、机制与资金的支持，但对于大国而言是不可或缺的。
众所周知，当今世界的国际竞争不仅是硬实力的竞争，也是软实力的较量。在组成软实力的诸多因素中，国际舆论影响力可谓是重要一环。最近数十年来，中国硬实力的发展有目共睹，在软实力领域的影响提升也可圈可点。但在国际舆论影响力方面，面对更加复杂的挑战，我们要做的工作还很多，可谓是“任重而道远”。这可能会是需要一代人甚至更长时间完成的任务，但也是必须完成的任务。
