It is difficult for Japanese people to recognize China. China, which is now a military and economic power, is trying to change the status quo by advocating hegemony. Throughout the prewar and postwar years, the Japanese may not be able to fully grasp the perception of China. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the Japanese perception of China in modem times from the perspective of the Army "China Specialist." In the process of study, I collected Japanese diplomatic documents and historical materials related to the "China Specialist" and conducted a literature search. As a result, modem Japanese perception of China tended to be arrogant, selfish, and incapable of building a modem nation. Since 1930, China has achieved nominal unity and is forcibly insisting on equal relations with the nations. That is the situation in which China has surpassed Japan politically, militarily, and economically in recent years to become a major power.
