Abstract: My research suggests that the public opinion in Japan influences Japan’s foreign policy toward China through different channels. Therefore, it is vital to reshape the opinion environment in Japan in order to improve the bilateral relationship between Japan and China. To enhance China’s influencing capacity on the global stage, it is time to promote International Political Communication Studies.
