In response to reports that two Taiwan compatriots were severely injured in July this year after being assaulted by five Japanese men on a street in Tokyo, and Japanese police recently stated that the suspects involved have been arrested, a Chinese spokesperson stated on Wednesday that since the beginning of this year, Japan has experienced deteriorating public security, with multiple incidents of tourists, including Taiwanese compatriots, being attacked.
The spokesperson added that recently the Japanese prime minister openly made blatant provocative remarks on Taiwan, severely undermining the atmosphere for people-to-people exchanges. There is also an increase in anti-China and xenophobic extremist behaviors by right-wing forces in Japan, posing significant risks to the safety and lives of tourists.
"Taiwanese compatriots are our flesh and blood. We strongly condemn such violent acts and urge the Japanese side to swiftly and severely punish the perpetrators," stated the spokesperson.
