The fatal stabbing of a 10-year-old Japanese schoolboy in Shenzhen, China, has sparked fears among the Japanese community and heightened anti-Japanese sentiments. The incident has prompted Japanese companies to offer repatriation options for their employees in China and increased security measures around Japanese schools. The victim's death has led to calls from Tokyo for answers and protection for its citizens in light of this horrific act, which is described as an individual case by Beijing. The local Chinese media reported the alleged attacker as a jobless individual with a criminal record. As tensions rise, many in the Japanese community express their anxiety about safety while both countries face scrutiny over the implications for their already fragile relations.
