A 10-year-old Japanese boy was fatally stabbed near his school in Shenzhen, China, on September 18. The incident has raised serious safety concerns for Japanese nationals in China, prompting Japan's Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa to demand a thorough investigation and enhanced security measures for Japanese citizens abroad.
The stabbing occurred on the anniversary of the Mukden Incident, a sensitive date in Sino-Japanese relations. Japan had previously requested increased security for its nationals in China, particularly around Japanese schools, due to rising anti-Japanese sentiment and recent violent incidents involving Japanese citizens.
