Beijing’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday (Sep 24) that top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi expressed his wish to Tokyo that the city would respond “calmly and rationally” to the tragic stabbing of a kid in Shenzhen.
Following the incident in the southern Chinese city last week, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged Beijing to guarantee the protection of Japanese nationals and sought an explanation.
Even though the attack occurred on September 18, the anniversary of the 1931 “Mukden incident” or “Manchurian incident,” which is remembered in China as a day of national humiliation, it is still unclear whether there was a political motive.
On that day, an explosion on a railway was used by Japanese soldiers as a pretext to take the city of Mukden, now named Shenyang, and invade the larger region.
According to Japan’s foreign ministry, Kamikawa “strongly demanded” that China provide pertinent details, including the perpetrator’s motivations, and that China punish the offender severely.
China must take action against “malicious and anti-Japanese posts on social media, including those related to Japanese schools, that have no basis in fact,” according to Kamikawa’s specific demands.
