Deadly attacks on Japanese in China inflame tenuous relations between the two nations

LA Times  

A Chinese woman offers a prayer in front of a Japanese school where a Japanese boy was stabbed to death in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen last week. “We strongly demand that the Chinese side explain the facts,” Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said last week, according to Japanese media. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described both knife attacks as “isolated incidents.” But the acts of aggression have aggravated growing mistrust between Japan and China, which have clashed on issues including regional defense and a controversial plan to release treated wastewater from Japan’s decommissioned nuclear plant in Fukushima last year. On Monday, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa met with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in New York and said she had urged China to ensure the safety of Japanese citizens in the country. So, who exactly is playing the ‘hate education’ game?” An annual government survey conducted last fall showed that 86.7% of Japanese “do not feel friendly” toward China, a record high going back to 1978, Kyodo News reported.
