BEIJING - China’s embassy in Japan on Nov 26 again cautioned Chinese citizens against visiting Japan in the near future, citing what it said were reports from multiple nationals who experienced “unprovoked insults and beatings” and suffered injuries in recent days.
The embassy advised those already in Japan to step up safety precautions, according to a statement released on its Chinese social media account. It also referred to data suggesting an increase in violent crimes in Japan in recent years.
China first cautioned its citizens against visiting Japan on Nov 14 amid the worst diplomatic row between the East Asian countries in years after Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said a Chinese attack on Taiwan could amount to a “survival-threatening situation”
