The Japanese media hasn't omitted the information. 

This is the first time I had seen that the victim was Chinese/Japanese. Sure it wasn't mentioned on the Japanese TV I saw.

@elephant200 I'm not convinced there aren't many people who ignore laws there, particularly after seeing a bunch of interesting construction videos straight from China...

This is the first time I have seen it mentioned that this "Japanese" boy is at least half Chinese. Chinese mother, living in China. Doesn't change the horror of the crime but interesting that the Japanese media omit this information.

The Japanese media hasn't omitted the information. You are just making something out of nothing!!

A few days ago, in one of Japan's McDonald's restaurant, a Japanese girl being stabbed and dies. The killer is a Japanese man, so what does that means? Random attack or senseless murdering can be happening in any where including Japan homeland. It was not because that Japanese child being murdered in Shenzhen was politically motivated or racially reasons. Japanese do attacked their own people in Japan. Please don't blaming China with pointless reason!

My respect to the Chinese law enforcement agency of throughout investigation of that Shenzhen killer, violences are zero toleranced in this country and it has nothing discriminating because the victim is a foreigner. Well done let's put him on trial!

Two incidents within 4 months of each other involving Japanese children speaks of a pattern not a random attack.

if you think Japan is dangerous, go back to safe China then.

The article wants to link this to the war, but the suspect's motive is still unclear.

Are they incapable of even doing that much investigation? Or is there some reason they can't make it public?

The Qing dynasty, which originated in Manchuria, was a Manchurian dynasty,, not Han-Chinese dynasty.

Wrong. Manchuria had long been inhabited by the indigenous Manchurians and had never been part of China until after Japan’s surrender in 1945.

Your concept of China starts in 1949 or 1911. This was Qing dynasty territory.

If found guilty, he should - and likely will - be executed. Murdering an innocent child is the most heinous and despicable of all crimes.

Rest in Peace to the poor boy.

Sure you got your history in order? The last Emperor of China was a Manchu...and from a Manchurian dynasty.

Anyway, This whole issue has its root in communist brain washing, just look at all the recent high profile crimes, all rooted in brain damage. Look at Vietnamese crimes in Japan, there's a total lack of appreciation for morals or pride, because they are all reduced to political (communist) adherents in Vietnam, and when overseas, without restrictions and suppression, they have no clue how to behave. This pattern was present when Chinese first ventured outside China...repeated over and over...

“the Manchurian Incident that led to Japan's invasion of northeastern China.”

Wrong. Manchuria had long been inhabited by the indigenous Manchurians and had never been part of China until after Japan’s surrender in 1945.
