Public survey shows Hong Kong hates Philippines, Japan the most

A survey by the Public Opinion Program of a Hong Kong university shows that Hong Kong people dislike the Philippines and Japan the most, out of the 12 most-recognized countries in the survey. More than 87% have negative feelings about the Philippines while 59% also strongly dislike Japan.

There were 1,000 respondents to the survey. The US was the third most hated country at 32%, while Singapore, Canada and Australia were the most well-liked governments at 59%, 50% and 46% respectively. The poll also asked residents about how they feel about the governments of China, Taiwan, and Macau. Negative feelings towards mainland China is at 37%, up 12 points from the last survey conducted six months before while positive feelings went down 20%, 9 points less than the previous survey. The study shows figures that negative feelings towards mainland China, Japan and the Philippines are at an all-time high since 1997. However, the survey doesn’t answer as to the cause of the sentiments of the respondents.

The Philippine government was widely criticized for the 2010 hostage taking incident which unfolded on international media. The crisis resulted in the death of 8 Hong Kong tourists, and while it’s been three years since the incident, anger against the Philippines is still very high. In a recent football friendly match against the Philippines in Mong Kok, some Hong Kong fans made it clear to the players and fans that they have not forgotten, with one fan even unfurling a banner that said so.

As for the hatred of Japan, we can only surmise that it is still because of the territorial disputes and post World War II issues that continue to affect Japanese-Chinese relations to this day. While Hong Kong residents may hate mainland China, they are still Chinese and they probably see Japan as the “enemy” even over there.

So much for a trip to HK

The hate for Japan is not as strong in HK as on the mainland (at 74%, according to a BBC poll), but nevertheless, it's not going to blow over soon until the issue of Japanese territorial infringement is solved. And the hate for PH is obviously amplified by the recent PH navy massacre against the fisherman, but they've been somewhat low ever since the 2010 bus massacre incident in which the PH govt. expressed little contrition. So a more cooperative, neighborly attitude from the PH government is needed here.

So much for a trip to HK

It only reflects views of the government and shouldn't affect individual experiences. Otherwise, all the pinays working as domestic maids would have left already.

Dislike and negative feeling against their government and certain officials yes.
Hate as a whole in general, NO.

Most people live in Hong Kong are well educated and have open mind.

[Fsjal]

^It was only a game^

Anyway, if the Azkals versus the Chinese team, then we would lose. Anyway, that was only a game.

 

[Zero_wing]

The Important is we won and we very civilized we did not react or retaliate even though we were in the right makes me proud to be filipino for the displace of dignity but the feeling is mutual i hate them too and let them come here and say that to us slave nation crap let see

 

[FullMetalJacket]

I'd hate them too if someone invaded my country, raped the women, killed the men, sliced the heads of villagers for sport, destroyed crops, etc etc. But then I'd be hating the Muslims and the British. I suppose I've moved on, can't say the same for the rest of the people of this world.

Dislike and negative feeling against their government and certain officials yes.
Hate as a whole in general, NO.

A leading Hong Kong newspaper called for punishment against abusive football fans who were caught on video taunting Filipino fans and supporters of Philippine Azkals during their friendly game with the Hong Kong football team Tuesday.
Hong Kong football fans and supporters were seen throwing trash, disrespecting the country's national anthem and reportedly called the Philippines a slave nation, among others.
ABS-CBN News wrote: "Supporters of Hong Kong's football team threw trash and verbally abused Filipinos during the Philippine Azkals' friendly match in the former Crown colony on Tuesday night, witnesses said,
"Aside from members of the Philippine Azkals, others who suffered abuse were Filipino women and children who went to Hong Kong just to watch the match," the report added. Read more:
One expatriate fan told South China Morning Post (SCMP) that he was disgusted by the inappropriate behaviour by supporters and fans of the Hong kong Team
“At the end of the game there were ugly scenes when the Philippines side tried to celebrate with their fans and were subjected to such abuse - verbal, gestures and physical - as they were pelted with bottles and other objects,” the Englishman told the South China Morning Post on Wednesday morning.
“Then I was even more disgusted to hear some local guys shouting to the group of Philippine men, women and children, who were happily celebrating, that they were 'all just slaves'...and making obscene gestures to them.”
According to an editorial by SCMP, such behavior is uncharacteristic of Hong Kong soccer fans and Filipinos have every right to be outraged.
“Filipinos have every right to be outraged. They had gone to the stadium to cheer on their team, not endure taunts and ridicule. Their national anthem was disrespected when it was played, they were insulted by being called derogatory names and plastic bottles were among items thrown at them. The barrage of discrimination worsened after the Philippines won the game 1-0,” the editorial read.
“Such behaviour is uncharacteristic of Hong Kong soccer fans. They are renowned for being good-natured, even when rivalries are fierce.”
FIFA, the world governing football body earlier announced heavier sanctions against racism, ranging from points deduction to disqualification for repeat offenders.
“There have been despicable events this year that have cast a long shadow over football and the rest of society,” FIFA president Sepp Blatter said during a congress last week.
“I am speaking of the politics of hate – racism, ignorance, discrimination, intolerance, small-minded prejudice. That uncivilised, immoral and self-destructive force that we all detest.”
The Hong Kong Football Association promised to investigate the incident while the Philippine Football Federation said it will wait for the result of the probe before taking appropriate action.

The locals in Hong Kong are very racist, they consider themselves superior to all. Funny during the early days of Hong Kong most of the local Chinese works as laborers, servants and slaves of the British but still they call their masters barbarians (at their backs of course) and still consider themselves superior.

You're very racist. Nice try.
