Japan asks China to bolster security on Nanjing massacre anniversary

The best way to bolster security? Japanese nationals should get out of China - a nation that tells its citizens to continue hating them.

China is not safe for Japanese. People are playing with fire by being there.

To them that’s like inviting them to throw gasoline on the fire

As once powerful Chinese economy losing its steam, Japan hating is one of the few pastimes left to ordinary Chinese citizens. Time for Japanese expats to come home before it’s too late.

China wants to cover up how many of their own people they killed but when it comes to their history they seem to be reminding their citizens of the other countries that killed them and do nothing to protect them in present day. It is cruel and I feel sorry for those murdered because of how little has been done to protect the Japanese living in China

As once powerful Chinese economy losing its steam

Yeah, like 5% growth means losing steam, while near zero % growth for Europe means Europe is blossoming.

I don't understand why some Japanese people staying in that place where they knew hate sentiments against Japanese are rampant, are they stupid or just insensitive.

@jerryboy I don't know. Maybe you should ask the 100,000 Japanese currently residing in China.

People need to take some personal responsibility as well as it is their choice to stay in an highly hostile environment with great risks to their lives. I understand some may not have a choice due to company requests, but moving their family over and putting them at risk as well is not understandable at all. Japan and China is close enough where there can be regular visits by plane.

In contrast, estimates by Japanese historians place the death toll of Chinese civilians and soldiers between the tens of thousands and 200,000.

It wasn’t 300,000 but just 200,000. Oh okay, so not that bad. How many died by the two bombs, maybe higher?

They can’t Japanese companies have to be in China. Imagine this economy without China

People - I think the article is about the Nanjing massacre, about which people aren’t making any comments

From what I know in dealing with Japanese expats in China, some companies allows dispatched expats temporary leave to return to Japan and will pay for their trip. Others give advice and counseling services.

I saw one manufacturer’s pamphlet with manga drawings like the ones you get from the kuyakusho on how to throw away garbage on newspaper print.

It’s China’s responsibility since it is the host country. Companies can do more as well.

The usual American patriots making up stories about the alleged China's threat, while the US administration is financing the mass killing in Gaza and Lebanon: $20 billions of lethal weapons sent to Israel in 2024.

And they are supposed to be the good guys as opposed to China, right?

So much for "normalization of relations."

Yes, why would the CCP want it's citizens to go easy on Japanese nationals. Nanjing was one of the most disgusting events perpetrated by the Japanese military government.

Japan asks China to bolster security on Nanjing massacre anniversary

That is a reasonable request considering the recent events, so I do not know why it should be controversial.

Who says it is controversial? It is simply undiplomatic to make such a request publicly. Of course the Chinese government does not want or encourage violence against Japanese citizens on this date.

Why ? According to Japan Nanking never happened.

It is only natural that the Chinese Communist Party has received strong protests from the Japanese government. The Chinese Communist Party cannot avoid being criticized for not being able to conduct a proper investigation, much less uncover the perpetrator's motive.

Furthermore, the recent killings of Japanese people have no connection to the Nanjing Massacre.

In the first place, did Chiang Kai-shek make a fuss about the Nanjing Massacre happening?

Disgusting, and it speaks volumes the anti Japan nationalists never said anything about Japanese women and children being killed. It's even more insulting when Chinese tourists and immigrants to Japan are under no threat whatsoever by random Japanese citizens, nor have to witness scenes like Chinese flags being burned or stomped on. Little wonder so many around the world have such low opinions of the country and its people.
