Japanese media have come out to complain, claiming that China is deliberately targeting Japan! On December 26, Japanese television quoted multiple sources stating that the Chinese authorities have requested domestic travel agencies to reduce the number of tour groups traveling to Japan to 60%. This measure was originally expected to be implemented until December, but later required to be extended until March next year. The Japanese media reported that when Chinese authorities summoned the heads of major domestic travel agencies, they clearly instructed them to gradually reduce the number of group tourists to Japan and reminded the industry "not to publicize" it.

The Japanese media said that as a result of this, several Chinese travel agencies have reportedly been suspending the acceptance of related bookings and business for group tours to Japan. Beijing had previously called on the public to voluntarily reduce their trips to Japan, but this time, the "direct" specific ratio limit indicates a significant increase in pressure. Obviously, from this news, the Japanese media clearly came out to complain, believing that we are deliberately targeting Japan.

However, from our perspective, this report by the Japanese media might well be entirely a self-directed performance. Indeed, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan has significantly decreased, and the number of China-Japan flights has clearly declined. The reservations during the Spring Festival peak season have been largely canceled. However, this is merely a completely spontaneous response to Japan's unfriendly attitude. The so-called official order from China to cut down on tourism to Japan is likely just a trick staged by the Japanese side.

Of course, even if our government has made relevant regulations, there is nothing wrong with that. Japan has repeatedly provoked us, and we should indeed take some measures to let Japan realize what the consequences of provoking us are. Now, the number of Chinese tourists has decreased, and Japanese media has come out to complain, but this situation is an inevitable result of the Japanese politicians' self-inflicted actions, and there is no one else to blame.
