Japanese National Breaks Into Chinese Embassy Threatening Diplomats
A Japanese national, believed to be affiliated with the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force, scaled the wall and forcibly entered the Chinese embassy in Tokyo, allegedly threatening diplomats. The intruder, found with a knife, was handed over to police without any embassy staff being injured. China expressed deep shock, calling the incident an egregious violation of diplomatic conventions and demanding a thorough investigation and severe punishment for those responsible. Beijing also suggested the event highlights a rise in far-right thinking in Japan and the negative influence of Japanese government policies on crucial Sino-Japanese relations, particularly concerning Taiwan.
