China warns its citizens in Japan to remain alert
A notice issued by the Chinese Embassy in Japan on Saturday highlighted a deterioration in public security in certain prefectures, including Fukuoka, Shizuoka, and Aichi. The embassy cited multiple accounts of Chinese travelers being verbally harassed or physically attacked without provocation, some resulting in injuries. The notice specifically mentioned a December 31 vehicle-ramming incident in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward, which left two Chinese citizens seriously injured and in need of emergency medical care.
Chinese authorities reiterated their recommendation that citizens avoid traveling to Japan in the near term. Japanese officials have not issued an immediate response to these statements.
The advisory comes amid rising tensions between China and Japan following remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on November 7. Takaichi stated that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could legally be considered a “survival-threatening situation,” potentially permitting Japan to exercise collective self-defense. Beijing strongly criticized the comments, advising against travel to Japan and reinstating import restrictions on seafood and other products.
