Why do more Chinese people go to Japan and fewer Japanese people come to China?

In fact, there are not many Japanese people coming to China. In the statistics of foreigners coming to China, Japanese have been the number one country for 20 years. But after all, China’s population base is there. Japan strives to have 10 million Chinese tourists visiting Japan by 2025, which is equivalent to one-tenth of Japan's total population. But it only accounts for one hundred and forty percent of China's population.

Beijing and Shanghai, where Japan is relatively loose when issuing visas, have a combined household registration of more than 40 million. As long as a quarter of them travel to Japan, the target of 10 million tourists can be easily reached.
