The number of Japanese who say they do not feel "friendly" towards rival China has hit an all-time high, according to a government poll published at the weekend.
The annual survey, which questioned 3,000 people in October, found that 78 percent of respondents said they did not feel friendly towards China, up 19 points from last year and the highest rating since the poll began in 1978.
A diplomatic row over disputed island territories earlier this year sent ties plummeting to their lowest level in years, sparking street protests on both sides.
"Heightened tension between Japan and China has had a major impact on people's feelings," the Japanese foreign ministry said, quoted by Jiji Press.
