Chinese President Hu Jintao paid a visit to the Japanese embassy in Beijing Friday afternoon to convey a message of condolences for the victims of last Friday's massive earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan.


Japan's disaster has triggered an unusual outpouring of sympathy and even admiration from China that has, for now at least, largely blotted out the historical antipathy many here have felt toward their neighbor.

The devastation wrought by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and the uncertainty and fear created by the unfolding nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power complex, has elicited expressions of support and concern from around the world. But China's strong response has been especially noteworthy, given the history of strained relations between the two countries and lingering resentment in historyI.


"Between Japan and China, history is history; the current reality is the current reality—we should separate the two," said Woody Wang, 39, an editor at an online news portal, echoing a sentiment expressed widely in China. "As human beings, we should have empathy for each other."

Just six months ago, China's Internet was filled with comments lambasting Japan over the arrest and detention of a Chinese fishing-boat captain for ramming Japanese Coast Guard vessels near a set of disputed islands in the East China Sea. Some of that bile resurfaced briefly on the Internet in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, with some Chinese people posting messages that seemed to take satisfaction in Japan's misfortune. But other Chinese Internet users have been quick to criticize those messages as inappropriate.


The Chinese government likewise moved quickly to express its support for Japan and to send a rescue team and relief supplies and prominent expressions of support. Speaking at a press conference on the last day of China's annual legislative session on Monday, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao went out of his way to offer "deep sympathy and solicitude to the Japanese government and the people" and pledged to provide whatever help Tokyo requested.

China initially provided 30 million yuan, or roughly $4.5 million, in aid and has since also shipped 10,000 tons both of gasoline and diesel fuel at the request of the Japanese government, said a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Thursday.


It is unclear whether the positive feelings will last. But observers say extensive coverage of the disaster may have helped humanize the people of Japan in a country given in recent years to periodic anti-Japanese riots or calls for boycotts of Japanese goods.
