TOKYO -- The Japanese public increasingly supports the government's export controls against South Korea, the latest Nikkei-TV Tokyo survey shows, with a majority of respondents in no rush to improve bilateral ties if it means a compromise by Tokyo.
The weekend poll found that 67% of respondents backed Japan's restrictions on semiconductor materials that took effect July 4, up 9 percentage points from the last poll at the end of July. Opposition to the export curbs remained roughly flat at 19%.
