China warns its citizens in Japan amid reports of targeted attacks
A notice issued by the Chinese Embassy in Japan highlighted that public safety in certain regions has recently worsened, citing violent incidents in prefectures such as Fukuoka, Shizuoka, and Aichi. The embassy reported that many Chinese travelers have faced verbal harassment or physical assaults without provocation, leading to injuries.
The statement specifically mentioned a vehicle-ramming attack on Dec. 31 in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward, in which two Chinese citizens were seriously injured and required emergency hospital care. The embassy reiterated its advice for Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to Japan for the time being.
Japanese authorities have not yet responded to the Chinese embassy’s latest warnings.
Tensions between the two countries have risen since Nov. 7, when Japan’s Prime Minister stated that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could legally be considered a “survival-threatening situation,” potentially allowing Japan to exercise the right of collective self-defense. Beijing strongly criticized the comments, advising against travel to Japan and reinstating restrictions such as a ban on seafood imports.
