That’s nuts. Trusted for what? Illegal fishing? Militarization of areas well beyond any logical economic zone. Pervasive military and industrial espionage?

Japan prove itself (so far) to be a loyal lapdog of the US, and people around the world fucking hates america atm. Its less to do with china or japan and mostly to do with falling trust in america. And this is not even a pro china post, god knows I have cuss out the ccp enough to get on the list lol Go to EU sub even on reddit and see how much america is hated at the moment.

Here we go again.
Sans a few legit accounts, get ready for the sub-3 month accounts spewing ridiculous CCP propaganda.
I get tired of doing this too, but have to combat the obvious propaganda. Your whataboutism and Wumao bullshit will not overrun Reddit, no matter how evil the American side is right now.

Lol no chance. Almost nobody in ASEAN trusts China. In several countries they’re enemy number one.

There are various maritime territorial disputes between ASEAN countries and China, but this might be more of a “enemy of my enemy is my friend” kinda situation.
Sadly the article is paywalled so I can’t read further.

The poll was conducted in Oct 2025, so this was before Takaichi.
Also I think the poll should be somewhat taken with of a grain of salt, as it was an internet poll that asked 3000 people in ASEAN.
“Important partner from now on in G20” Japan 43%→45%, China 52%
“Most trustworthy country in G20” Japan 17%→17%, China 22%

Chinas propaganda machine is pushing this one hard.
The CCP behaves like a an aggressive petulant child. Why on earth would anyone trust them?

Lol. Who is conducting these surveys. I have yet to find someone who loves and trust China from ASEAN. With all their bullying in SCS, China is *that* trustworthy?
