One month after the tragic stabbing of a 10-year-old schoolboy in Shenzhen, the Japanese community in China is still reeling from the incident. Despite the suspect being apprehended, Beijing has not revealed the motive behind the attack, leaving many questions unanswered.
The reopening of the school has been met with fear and anxiety, with students opting to attend classes online and parents struggling with sleepless nights. Japanese authorities have sent counselors to provide support, but the psychological scars run deep.
The Japanese government has been pressing China for more information, especially regarding the safety of Japanese nationals in the country. With tensions high and concerns mounting, the community is on edge, with some even considering returning to Japan.
As the investigation continues, Japanese officials are demanding transparency and action from Beijing to ensure the safety of their citizens. The uncertain atmosphere has also raised concerns within the Japanese business community, with calls for decisive measures to be taken to address the issue.
Amidst the uncertainty and fear, both the Japanese and Chinese governments are working towards resolving the situation and providing clarity to the affected community.
