Japanese Attacked in Suzhou, China, Again

  • Category:Other
A Japanese national was attacked and injured in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, eastern China, on Thursday, officials at the Japanese Consulate-General in Shanghai said Friday.

The person was hit with what appeared to be a rock inside a subway station, and was later treated at a hospital, the officials said.

According to Japan-China diplomatic sources, the victim was a woman and with a child at the time. Local authorities are investigating the case, aiming to apprehend the attacker.

In the same city, a Japanese woman and her child were attacked by a knife-wielding man in June 2024 while waiting for a school bus to a Japanese school. They were injured, and a Chinese woman who was a guide on the bus was killed.

Thursday's incident occurred at a time when anti-Japanese sentiment is seen as rising in China, fueled by recent films and dramas themed on the past war against Japan.
