Japanese Elementary School Student Attacked in China

International news has reported another incident of a Japanese attack in China. Publisher Jeong Seul-gi shares the details.

A Japanese elementary school student in China was attacked and injured by a gunman on his way to school. This incident occurred three months after a similar Japanese attack in June.

According to reports, a 10-year-old elementary school student was stabbed by a man about 200 meters away from the school entrance while going to school. The injured student was immediately taken to hospital and is receiving treatment.

Chinese authorities have arrested the suspect at the scene and are currently investigating the incident. Last June, a Chinese man stabbed three people, including a Japanese mother and son, in Jiangsu Province, China, killing a Chinese female tour guide.

This recent attack occurred on the 93rd anniversary of the Manchurian Incident in 1931. However, it is not yet clear whether the crime was motivated by a hate crime.

Police officers are vigilant on the street in front of the elementary school, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
