Japanese are also the least patriotic people, not only of all Asian nations, but possibly in the world. The World Values Survey of 2010 revealed that Japan has the lowest percentage of people proud of their country (24 per cent) of all the nationalities polled, with only 16 per cent willing to fight for it. Similarly, an Asia Barometer survey revealed that only 27 per cent of Japanese were ‘proud of their own nationality’ compared to 46 per cent of Chinese.
