A 10-year-old child was stabbed close to a Japanese school in China.


Title: Knife Attack Near Japanese School in China Raises Concerns of Violence Against Foreigners A 10-year-old student was stabbed near a Japanese school in Shenzhen, China, prompting concerns about the safety of foreigners in the country. The attack is the latest in a series of knife attacks on foreigners, with a 44-year-old man in custody. While the nationalities of the victim were not specified, the incident occurred near a Shenzhen Japanese School, suggesting the victim may be Japanese. The Chinese government has been criticized for downplaying the attacks as isolated incidents and failing to address rising xenophobia and nationalism. The Communist Party's use of nationalist sentiments has further fueled anti-foreigner rhetoric, particularly against Japan. The invasion of China by Imperial Japan in the 1930s continues to shadow the relationship between the two countries. Social media platforms have pledged to crack down on hate speech, but anti-Japanese rhetoric remains common. Some commenters have even praised the assailants or suggested that Japan staged the attacks. In response, Japanese schools in China have warned students to be cautious and requested additional security measures. The Shenzhen Japanese School, with 273 students, is located in a neighborhood with a significant Japanese population. Similar attacks have occurred near other Japanese schools in China, raising concerns about the safety of Japanese residents and other foreigners in the country. The Japanese government has requested funding for security guards for school buses in China, reflecting the seriousness of the situation.
