All of society should be aware of the differences and see what we have in common. I researched discussions of 2ch information and the content of other similar media. The expression was very violent. However, there was both general awareness of a gap between criticism and support. The gap was about what is not unusual on the Internet and not to be greatly concerned about.

The predominant concern of the study consist of: (1) the effect of young Chinese's consuming of Korean cultural wave contents including Korean TV drama, film, and K-pop on their anti-Korean sentiment; (2) the second-order mediating effects of both liking for Korean wave and positive perceptions of Koreans. The research is based on a survey conducted with 695 chinese people between high-teen and 20's, located in eleven cities of seven provinces. The notable findings are as follow: First, the higher consuming of Korean cultural wave contents, the higher anti-Korean sentiment. Second, young Chinese, consuming more Korean cultural contents, show more liking for Korean wave. The more favor of Korean cultural contents, the more positive perceptions of Koreans. The more liking for Koreans wave contests and the more positive perception of Koreans, the less anti-Korean sentiment. Therefore, it is proved that liking for Korean cultural wave contents and perceiving Koreans with a positive view are important mediator to reduce the anti-Korean sentiment. Some practical implications are discussed based on this study's findings above.
