Animosity can be a vital force to decide whether to buy a foreign product or not. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of animosity of Chinese consumer's willingness to buy Japanese products in general. Previous research is replete with evidences that Chinese have a special grudge against Japanese, after World War II. Previous studies in this regard were conducted in one or few cities of China, this research aimed to collect data from multiple cities, in order to generalize the concept. This study also highlighted a new construct i.e. perceived quality. What will happen if a Chinese consumer has to decide between animosity and better quality of Japanese product? A sample of 435 was collected in the Chinese city of Nanjing. Findings of the study revealed that Chinese still have high level of animosity towards Japanese products. And even at times, products with high quality are being ignored because of its Japanese background. Most important and consistent to current literature, results showed that, consumer animosity as a higher order construct which is indicated by economic animosity and war animosity. Those parts of China where we found an extreme animosity, ethnocentrism couldn't play a significant role to affect the other constructs in the animosity model.
