Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Issues Warning on Violent Crimes in China
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a spot information warning about violent crimes in China.
This follows a series of incidents involving Japanese nationals, including the murder of a student from a Japanese school in Shenzhen on September 18, and the stabbing of a Japanese parent and child in Suzhou on June 14.
The Japanese government has inquired about these cases in Tokyo and China, asking for appropriate measures from the Chinese side to prevent recurrence from a security perspective. The government has also strongly demanded the reinforcement of security measures around Japanese schools throughout China and the ensuring of safety for Japanese nationals.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises those staying in or traveling to China to be cautious of suspicious individuals approaching them and to ensure their safety by staying alert to their surroundings.
