The Ministry of Culture and Tourism yesterday warned Chinese tourists to avoid traveling to Japan in the near future.

The statement noted that public security in Japan has become unstable, crimes targeting Chinese citizens have increased, and some of these attacks remain unsolved. It emphasized that the security environment for Chinese citizens in Japan is deteriorating.

The ministry also stated that Japanese Prime Minister Takaiči Sanae’s provocative remarks regarding Taiwan have seriously damaged the communication atmosphere between the two peoples and pose a significant safety risk for Chinese citizens in Japan.

The statement called on Chinese tourists in Japan to closely monitor the local security situation, strengthen their personal safety measures, and contact the police or China’s Embassy in Tokyo and relevant consulates in case of emergency.
