Japan's Self-Defense Forces Threatened China's Embassy in Japan Twice in March
As reported by Japanese media outlet Asahi Broadcasting Corporation on April 16: In addition to the Self-Defense Forces officer Murata Kohta, who was arrested for breaking into China's Embassy in Japan, China's Embassy in Japan was threatened twice in March by individuals claiming to be members of the Self-Defense Forces.
On the afternoon of March 16, China's Embassy posted a message on social media stating that on March 5, an individual claiming to be part of an "elite unit composed of former police officers and former Self-Defense Forces members" sent a threatening letter to the embassy.
The letter stated: "We will attack China's Embassy and eliminate every Chinese person in Japan."
The embassy immediately reported the incident to the police, but Japanese authorities did not take it seriously, failed to take effective measures, and did not clarify the truth behind the event.
Subsequently, on March 24, current Self-Defense Forces officer Murata Kohta was arrested after entering China's Embassy with a knife.
Furthermore, according to information released by China's Embassy in Japan: one week after the unauthorized intrusion into the embassy, on March 31, an individual claiming to be a reserve Self-Defense Forces member threatened to plant a remotely controlled bomb inside China's Embassy. On that day, police spent two hours searching for and dealing with the potential explosive device.
China's Embassy in Japan criticized: "These incidents seriously violate international law and severely infringe upon China's sovereignty and dignity."
