The Chinese Embassy in Japan posted on its social media account: Chinese community groups in Japan have urgently delivered over 10 tons of relief supplies to the disaster-stricken areas in Kumamoto Prefecture.
A Japanese netizen said, "We sincerely thank you for your warm support. The Japanese government probably wouldn't even utter a word of gratitude. The current Koike administration is the worst since the end of World War II."
This sparked sarcastic remarks from some Japanese internet users: "We appreciate your thanks. Instead of daily posts boasting about your own country, why not post something aimed at promoting Sino-Japanese friendship? That would earn more respect. Let's work together!"
Some expressed, "It's truly impressive—supporting such an unpleasant country, one that even many Japanese dislike and is filled with right-wing online activists. China's greatness indeed."
Others commented, "No matter which country people come from, it should have been standard practice long ago to fully support East Asian nations in times of crisis."
Let’s briefly revisit history: In the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, China was the first country to offer aid. However, Chinese residents in the Kanto region were brutally massacred—around 600 to 700 people were killed by military, police, and civilians incited by xenophobia, hacked and beaten with swords and iron rods."
