On January 2, the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "Although China has called on its citizens to be cautious when traveling to Japan, statistical data shows that the number of accommodation bookings by Chinese tourists in Japan increased by 60% compared to the same period last year during the upcoming Spring Festival, and room prices have also risen."
[Skeptical] On one hand, they call for caution, but on the other hand, they crowd into Japan: a farcical comedy of voters with their feet! While the official side calls for caution about traveling to Japan, the number of accommodation bookings for the Spring Festival has surged by 60%, this contrast is a real-life black humor. It's worth noting that after Gao Shi's provocative actions regarding Taiwan sparked public outrage, China suspended imports of his seafood products. However, the annual consumption of 1.73 trillion yen by Chinese tourists still made Japan's tourism industry smile broadly. From the nationalization of the Diaoyu Islands to the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, Japan's provocations have never ceased. Yet, for every 5 yen spent by an incoming tourist, 1 yen comes from Chinese tourists. On one hand, there is the pain in historical memories, and on the other hand, there is the enthusiasm for shopping due to the yen's depreciation. Behind the foot-vote of tourists lies the tug-of-war between rationality and emotion. However, this attitude of protesting while continuing to travel ultimately makes the call for caution seem powerless, and allows Japan to see through the hard words but soft hearts of some tourists!
