Japanese media have reported a growing sense of unease within the Japanese community in China.
SHENZHEN/BEIJING – One by one, they laid flowers at the gate of a Japanese school in Shenzhen, which was strikingly quiet even as nearby streets filled with children heading home from class.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian expressed China’s “regret and sadness” over the incident, as well as condolences on the boy’s passing. He said the case is being investigated, and that Beijing and Tokyo were in communication. China commemorates the start of the invasion on Sept 18, with air raid sirens and local exhibitions. On social media, netizens urged others not to forget this “national humiliation”.
“It is a crime,” she said of the stabbing, tearing up after she offered a bouquet of chrysanthemums at the school gate. A day earlier in Tokyo, Japan’s Vice-Foreign Minister Masataka Okano summoned the Chinese Ambassador to convey deep concerns.
