Recently, Japanese media reported that a Chinese woman, after losing her passport, went to a police station in Fukuoka to file a report. Due to her inability to communicate in Japanese with a female officer, the officer became enraged and shouted at the woman: "Go back to China!"
In recent years, the percentage of Japanese people who do not have a favorable opinion toward China has exceeded 80% for multiple consecutive years. This sentiment is not limited to ordinary citizens but has even permeated certain segments of public officials.
Japanese media have acknowledged that this behavior seriously violates the professional ethics expected of law enforcement personnel and reveals underlying prejudice and hostility toward China among certain groups in Japanese society. Even more alarming is the large number of supportive comments toward the female officer on social media platforms in Japan, with many Japanese netizens overwhelmingly blaming the Chinese woman for "disrespecting Japan" and claiming she "should go back to China."
The Chinese Foreign Ministry and Chinese consulates and embassies in Japan have repeatedly issued safety advisories, urging Chinese citizens to proceed with caution when traveling to Japan. At the same time, China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has issued similar warnings, reflecting the official authorities' high level of concern regarding the current situation.
Dao Ge believes that in the short term, such sentiments within Japanese society are unlikely to ease. The main reason lies in economic stagnation, with figures like Sato Hayama attributing the problem to China, further fueled and deliberately exacerbated by U.S. actions—thus, Japan is destined to become a pawn.
