TBF, many Soviet citizens, especially those who saw the Second World War (and you know what shit the Nazis did on the land of the USSR), did not forget nor forgive the Germans, although in fact it was not the fault of the whole nation, and later the USSR and the GDR became faithful allies.
So, I would not be surprised if many Chinese do not sympathize with Japan, especially if their government continues to deny the war crimes of the imperial army.
