A Japanese child was killed at the gate of a Japanese school in Shenzhen on September 18.In June of this year, a school bus incident occurred in a Japanese school in Suzhou, and a Chinese woman who was attacked by the attacked child died.Affected by such incidents, people may be more concerned about the Japanese people who live in China again, and they also suspect that the background and case information of the Chinese side do not disclose the incident.Some Japanese companies in China are not allowed to allow their families to return to China to return to China.
In order to cope with the influence of the situation, the Japanese government tries to communicate patiently with the Chinese side.The Japanese Foreign Minister Uenagawa Yoshiko met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New York. Before that, the Japanese Deputy Foreign Prince Toshiko also went to Beijing.Nevertheless, the specific information about the incident has not been explained in detail from the Chinese side.
China seems to block information about the incident, and the original committee is still unclear.A signature is said to be a private message from the boy's father, which is widely spread in the Chinese media, saying that he does not want to destroy Sino -Japanese relations because of a crime of a very small number of people with distorted thoughts.However, the major Japanese media performed very carefully about the authenticity of this letter and did not report it.
In recent years, some Japanese business people have been detained in China in China on the grounds of violating the anti -spy law law, but the information has not been fully disclosed and the cause of detention is not clear. It has become an obstacle to normal economic exchanges in Japan.In 2024, senior local government officials visited Japan to call for investments in China. However, due to the influence of China ’s emphasis on national security, Japanese companies have not moved.
On the other hand, there are greater political and social factors about the incidents of Suzhou and Shenzhen, or because of personal reasons, Japanese society is very concerned.Some people doubt whether the attack has begun to fall because of China's real estate prices, and the overall economy is depressed, and more and more people who abandon themselves due to unemployment and bankruptcy.
Some people have questioned whether because China ’s strengthening of the anti -spy law's implementation has determined that there are many spies among foreigners, making the locals become more disgusting to foreigners.Affected by this, the Japanese were beaten on the streets of China.Of course, this year is not just an attacked in China.For historical and territorial issues, Chinese society's views on Japan and Japanese are very extreme.Shenzhen assassinated elementary school students occurred on the commemorative day of the September 18th incident.Of course, information such as the background of the incident and the motivation of the suspect is unclear, but the incident occurs on a sensitive day. It is naturally difficult for Japanese society to suspect China.
China has the rules of China, China is very common to restrict information, and the media and Internet speech control is also commonplace.However, once foreign events are involved, it is difficult to deal with it with Chinese rules.Such a processing method will leave a lot of doubts to the society of the affected country.In this sense, diplomatic measures are indispensable.For the Chinese side, when dealing with foreigners related to events, diplomatic channels may be solved.
