China warns citizens traveling to Japan after fatal stabbing of boy

Chinese citizens are safe in Japan - unlike Japanese in China.

How about the Chinese government advises their citizens to show some manners and good behaviour while in Japan?

Condolences for the tragic loss, 10-year-old son of a Japanese father and Chinese mother.

There is nothing to fear for any Chinese citizen national holidaying in Japan.

All I would humbly request is if travailing, staying in a Nagoya Hotel, at the morning breakfast bar. all would refrain from recreating mount fuji on one single plate, only for most of its contents to erupt and then be trodden into the carpet.

The polite poorly paid morning restaurant staff have to scrape it all up.

Fighto!

Chinese citizens are safe in Japan - unlike Japanese in China.

Several recent attacks on Chinese including the murder of a Chinese woman in Chiba last year.

I was looking for some information that suggested that some groups or some other threats had been discovered which were directed against the Japanese in China.

Without concrete evidence then why is not here such fear mongering by the Japanese government?

I admire how you took a broad issue and focused it like a movie camera zeroing in on a specific scene in a specific place. That carpet...what a mess...

You get the feeling they almost want something like that to happen here. Anything to keep a lid on what’s rapidly developing into a stampede out of the place.

“……hordes of people have been leaving the country. Some are fed up with the political repression, which has spread far and wide under the current regime. Others feel hopeless about the economy……..For many, the bargain between the party and the people, that living standards will continue to improve so long as you keep your head down, no longer holds water. So scores of people are finding ways out through the cracks.

Some are using student or work visas to relocate to places where they can live and talk more freely, with new diaspora communities emerging in cities such as Bangkok, Tokyo, and Amsterdam…..The phenomenon has become so widely discussed online that it has it’s own buzzword: runxue, or run philosophy, a coded term for emigration.…In 2023, there were 137,143 asylum seekers from China, according to the UN’s refugee agency. That is more than five times the number registered a decade earlier.

One potential pathway is the deadly Darién Gap, part of the migrant corridor that connects south and Central America with the southern border of the United States. Better known for attracting desperate Latin Americans, in recent years the number of Chinese people making that journey has surged. In the six months to April 2024, 24,367 Chinese nationals were apprehended by the US border police at the border with Mexico. That is more than the number of Chinese people who were apprehended in the whole of the previous financial year. In March alone, the number of times that the US border police encountered Chinese nationals increased by 8,500% compared with March 2021.

What fear mongering is this, exactly? There's no mention of anything like that in the article, and I haven't read of any.

The warning here is from the Chinese government.

Fighto!

Chinese citizens are safe in Japan - unlike Japanese in China.

Several recent attacks on Chinese including the murder of a Chinese woman in Chiba last year. was targeted for being Chinese.

The perpetrators of the November 2023 murder have not been caught and identified. So there is nothing to confirm that the victim was targeted for being Chinese.

@Wallace

I though the murderers (according to eyewitness there were 2 men) of the Chinese women in Chiba, I think the was from China... since they where talking and scream in Chinese... and the victim apparently had some sort of trouble with some organization China related.... So even if the murderers were japanese, that particular crime is more of a targeted murder according to the information available.

Wow! Maybe the CCP didn't read the memo indicating Japan's not China.

CCP is right. We don't want unruly Chinese tourists with their bad manners thanks.

Sad and pathetic,

so when was the last time a Chines citizen attacked or bothered while living or touring Japan?? NEVER as far as I know.

Interesting concept, only the chinese government could come up with

China still doesn't understand to educate their local people to respect foreigners living there.

I thought Chinese governmental people are high educated but doubt more and more.

“……hordes of people have been leaving the country. Some are fed up with the political repression, which has spread far and wide under the current regime. 

Hordes of people are leaving India, which is no. 1 with a total of 17.9 million, followed by Mexico and Russia, 10.8 million, but in terms of the population more people are staying in China than in the United States. The U.S. has a higher emigration percentage than China, 0.90% compared to 0.70% (Japan 0.63%.) even with a much higher population.

China still doesn't understand to educate their local people to respect foreigners living there.

I see you struggle with drawing logical conclusions. News of matricide or parenticide or parricide are a dime a dozen in Japan, so according to you, Japan doesn't understand to educate their local people to respect their parents.

The suspect in the murder of a Chinese woman in Chiba Prefecture is a Chinese woman who worked there part-time. She is suspected to be involved due to a history of interpersonal troubles.

A Chinese spokesperson said that this was a common occurrence, but there have been no incidents of Chinese children being stabbed to death in the middle of the day in Japan.

In anti-Japanese countries like China and South Korea, such an incident is easy to predict.

And the police will likely never reveal a motive, and in some cases, they may not even try to catch the culprit.

If you are going to either country, you must be fully aware of these risks.

In anti-Japanese countries like China and South Korea, such an incident is easy to predict.

You seem to be suggesting that the Japanese government failed to provide adequate warning to the Japanese in China?

Where would you rather be? A Japanese citizen in China, or a Chinese citizen in Japan?

Chinese authorities may also have in mind the following comment posted by the deputy agriculture minister of the province in which the 10-year-old Japanese student was murdered:

中国で１０歳の日本人小学児童が襲われて死亡する事件が発生して衝撃を与えている中、現地のある公務員が「我々の規律は日本人を殺害すること」という暴言をソーシャルメディアに投稿して波紋が広がっている。香港明報が２４日、報じた。

Chinese citizens are safe in Japan ...unlike Japanese in China.

There are many people around in Japan, residents and tourists, who speak Chinese but not all are from mainland China.

How can anybody know who is who and from where?

In Japan are many Chinese living in Japan permanently, others are from Taiwan, and Chinese tourists are coming also from Singapore and Malaysia....

Living in Japan since more than 4 decades, I do not know any place in Japan which might be dangerous for foreigners to go there because local Japanese might attack them.

To be fair, China is also not known to me to be a dangerous country to visit as a foreign tourist.

About the stabbing of this little boy, the Chinese man who did this must be mentally disturbed. In China, he will disappear and you will never hear from him again.

To be fair, China is also not known to me to be a dangerous country to visit as a foreign tourist.

There have been many attacks lately (as in the last few years) by knife wielding assailants, but mostly not targeted against foreigners... Mostly not. This year alone, this boy, the other Japanese boy, his mom and the Chinese lady who defended them and sadly died, plus the four American professors who went to China as tourists earlier this summer and got stabbed in plain daylight. And a bunch other attacks against Chinese citizens.

People can afford to leave the US if they choose to and they know the US government won't be following them everywhere they go.

Yeah just do not travel to Japan. Then everyone happy.

may also have in mind the following comment posted by the deputy agriculture minister of the province in which the 10-year-old Japanese student was murdered:

I don't know why some people in free democratic countries keep insisting China will be less authoritarian in time. The CCP indoctrination means Chinese citizens are being forced to be brain damaged. It comes from the top, wolf warrior guy, dragon lady...they all express total and complete brain damage on the international stage without a smidgen of shame. These people (if you could call them that) live in an alternate reality.

IMHO the only resolution is minimise engagement and trade. When you have to engage or trade, maintain your own values first.

@isabelle

Yes, exactly the warning is from the Chinese government and not the Japanese.

The Chinese government has obviously noticed the propensity for stabbings to occur in Japan.

Conversely, the Japanese government has no such warning for citizens leaving to China.

Obviously, the Japanese government doesn’t see threats in China.
