As the object of perception, China needs to conduct in-depth research on the mechanism of Chinese perception formation in Japanese society. It should follow the cognitive development patterns of adolescents, develop content production mechanisms aligned with these patterns, establish a multi-channel and multi-layered communication network, and design and implement differentiated intervention strategies for perception shaping. These efforts will assist Japanese adolescents in forming an accurate, objective, and comprehensive understanding of China.
