The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ “Consular Express” WeChat official account released news on November 14 that since the beginning of this year, Japan has experienced a period of unstable social security, frequent criminal cases against Chinese citizens, and multiple attacks on Chinese citizens in Japan. Some cases have not yet been solved, and the security environment for Chinese citizens in Japan continues to deteriorate. Recently, Japanese leaders have blatantly made provocative remarks related to Taiwan, seriously worsening the atmosphere of personnel exchanges between China and Japan, and posing major risks to the personal and life safety of Chinese citizens in Japan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Japan solemnly remind Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to Japan in the near future. Chinese citizens already in Japan pay close attention to the local security situation, increase safety awareness, and strengthen self-protection. In case of emergency, please call the police promptly and contact the embassy or consulate in Japan for assistance.
