But Japan doesn't have that kind of anti-China education, yet people hate China so much. It's amazing.

1. The detention of Gui Minhai

The incident in which Gui Minhai, a Hong Kong bookstore owner with Swedish citizenship, was detained by Chinese authorities.

2. The Stockholm hotel incident (2018)

3. Infrastructure and security concerns

Allegations of Chinese spies cutting undersea cables (late 2024).

Exclusion from 5G:

Exclusion of Chinese products, such as Huawei, from the 5G network.

4. Differences in values ​​and "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy"

The Chinese Embassy in Sweden's hardline diplomatic stance, known as "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy," and its intimidating criticism of local media and journalists.

It seems like they're doing a lot of things wrong.

"Anger toward China" explodes in Sweden!

Even though it was the first Western country to establish diplomatic relations...

The final blow was the prison sentence of a writer who criticized the Chinese Communist Party.

Sweden is, as expected, a civilized country that puts human rights first. Sweden has accused the Chinese Embassy in Stockholm and Chinese authorities of intimidating Swedish politicians, journalists, public figures, and human rights activists.

The Chinese Communist Party has over 100 million members.

Including family members and supporters, the number is at least 400-500 million.

In reality, it's safe to assume that almost all Chinese people are connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

The dictator orders: Reduce the number of tourists going to Japan by 60％！

 The Chinese government has issued an order stating, "Due to the deteriorating public safety situation in Japan, the number of Chinese tourists traveling from China to Japan will be reduced by 60%."

 People living in Western countries are left wondering, "How are they going to control this to 60%？" There are presumably tens of millions of Chinese people who want to travel to beautiful winter destinations like Hokkaidō and Aomori. Is the Chinese government planning to hand out lottery tickets to them？

 We are also left wondering, "Why 60%？"

 Perhaps the Chinese government wants to next say, "to 40%, then to 20%, so they came up with the number "60%" for the time being.

 Many of the actions of Communist dictatorships are puzzling "policies" that are incomprehensible to people living in the liberal world.

 In addition, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of Chinese visitors to Japan in 2024 is expected to be 6,981,200 (compared to 9,594,000 in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic).

 This year's number could potentially be even higher than before the pandemic.

 If the Chinese government is going to reduce the above figures by 40%, that would mean cutting several million people.

 Is this possible for a dictator?

 Furthermore, even though nearly 10 million Chinese people visited Japan in one year, there were no major incidents. There were no reports of people being attacked, verbally abused, or treated in a discriminatory manner by Japanese people at airports, stations, trains, taxis, buses, hotels, shopping facilities, entertainment venues, restaurants, tourist spots, or around town. If such reports existed, they would surely be posted immediately on social media or YouTube.

 The "victim videos" currently being posted to video sites one after another are fake videos created by the Chinese government using "civilians."

😿 Ban Christmas！ 😱🙀

"Don't celebrate Christmas." Ban issued in China.

 It appears that notices have been issued in Chinese schools prohibiting students from celebrating Christmas. The Xi Jinping administration is promoting the "Sinicization of religion," leading to the arrest of Christians.

 This time, we'll explain "Christmas Restrictions and Religious Policy in China."

[Photo] Chinese Cities Are in Christmas Mode, But... "Ban" Issues Have Appeared

Q: What kind of Christmas decorations are there in Chinese cities?

A: In urban areas like Beijing, commercial facilities and foreign-owned hotels create a Christmas atmosphere with large trees and illuminations.

Q: Has celebrating Christmas been banned in schools?

A: It appears that a "ban" has been issued in Chinese schools prohibiting students from celebrating Christmas.

Q: Why can't Christmas be celebrated in Chinese schools?

A: The Xi leadership is promoting the "Sinicization of religion," and is thought to be wary of weakening the Communist Party's grip on rule as Western religions like Christianity spread among young people.

Q: What kind of comments have you seen on social media?

A: Many posts on domestic social media have been about people being told not to participate in Christmas activities at school, or parents being notified through their parent network not to let their children celebrate Christmas.

Q: Have there been any incidents in which Christians have been detained?

A: In October of this year, approximately 30 people, including Pastor Kim Myo-young of the unofficial Protestant Christian organization Zion Church, were detained en masse, and at least 18 people, including Pastor Kim, were officially arrested. The reason for their detention was "suspected illegal internet use."

What does it mean to sinicize religion?

In ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, all religions were accepted in Chang'an and prospered.

In other words, the Chinese Communist Party-ization of a new religion, especially a cult, does not necessarily mean it has become Chinese.

 Eight major automakers announced on the 25th that global production for November was 1.98 million units, down 6.4% from the same month last year.

 Honda's sales fell sharply by 33.7%, continuing the impact of supply shortages from Chinese semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia. Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Corporation, Mazda Motor Corporation, and Subaru Motor Corporation also saw declines of over 5%.

 Honda suspended production at its Mexican plant in October. It also cut production in the United States and Canada, but these operations returned to normal by November. However, the company plans to cut production in Japan and China from the end of this month through January, so the impact continues. Subaru's sales fell 20.4%, due to the partial shutdown of its flagship Gunma Yajima Plant (Ota City, Gunma Prefecture) due to construction work.

"Christmas Ban" in China, Pastors Celebrate Christmas Eve in Prison, Tightening Control of Religion

December 24, 2025 (Wed) 5:28 PM

Mainichi Shimbun

 On Christmas Eve, December 24th, giant trees and other decorations were displayed on the streets of Beijing, China. Meanwhile, notices were issued to schools across the country prohibiting children and students from celebrating Christmas.

The Xi Jinping administration has been tightening control over religious beliefs under the banner of "Sinicizing religion." Some Christians have been detained by authorities and are spending Christmas Eve in prison.

 Commercialized Christmas, designed to stimulate consumption through shopping, eating, and drinking, is widespread in civil society.

However, when it is linked to Christian faith, it's a different story. Churches holding Christmas masses are subject to surveillance by public security officials, and minors are prohibited from attending.

◇School Bans

 Schools have issued bans against celebrating Christmas.

In December, Chinese social media was flooded with posts saying, "I received a message telling me not to participate in Christmas activities at school," and "I received a notice through the parent network not to allow my child to celebrate Christmas."

A Christian believer lamented on social media, "What are they afraid of to ban Christmas? Far from preserving their country's culture, the Chinese government is trying to isolate itself from the rest of the world."

 The Xi Jinping leadership is wary of weakening the Communist Party's grip on power by Western religions, which are associated with values ​​such as human rights and freedom, becoming more prevalent among young people.

 In February 2018, a law was enacted stating, "Religious activities are prohibited in schools and other educational institutions." Outside of schools, the number of areas banning minors from churches and other institutions is expanding.

◇Mass Arrests of Pastors and Others

 Authority oppression has become even more severe in recent years. In October of this year, approximately 30 people, including Pastor Kim Myung of the unofficial Protestant Christian organization "Shion Church," were detained en masse.

 According to the church's social media, at least 18 people, including Pastor Kim, were subsequently officially arrested. They will spend Christmas Eve in prison. The reason for their detention was said to be "suspicion of illegal internet use."

 Prior to the mass arrests, on September 29, at a meeting on religious policy chaired by President Xi Jinping, he instructed the Communist Party to thoroughly "guide religion."

 Xi Jinping emphasized that "religious figures and believers must be guided to establish correct views of the nation, history, and ethnicity." The crackdown on the Shion Church was intended by the responsible department, acting in accordance with Xi's wishes, to demonstrate the success of its religious control.

 However, while "foreign religions" like Christianity are being cracked down on, government-protected religions such as Buddhism and Taoism are plagued by a series of scandals involving clergy.

In July, Shi Yongxin, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, China, was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and other crimes. His inappropriate relationship with a woman also came to light.

Shi served as vice president of the Buddhist Association of China and a representative to the National People's Congress, and had a close relationship with the Communist Party.

Beating the dog ferociously. She shouted, "Japan has surrendered！" Chinese netizens cheer and praise the punishment！

 The Chinese Communist Party's dictatorial regime's peculiar and ingenious brainwashing education began shortly after the country's founding in 1949. Even today, it continues to implement a thorough "Sinicization" policy against ethnic minorities and other groups.

 The result has been the creation of an abnormal cult-like state.

 We must now seriously consider how to deal with this bizarre, fanatical, sadistic, and thug-like nation.

 A video of a Chinese female groomer abusing a Shiba Inu dog, claiming it is of "Japanese bloodline," has sparked controversy. It's met with applause on the Chinese internet ★2 [12/18]

 A Chinese female groomer beats and chokes a Shiba Inu dog. "Japan has surrendered!" → Chinese netizens rave about the incident. "Hit the Japanese dog and make them submit!"

 Video of a Chinese female groomer abusing a Shiba Inu dog has sparked controversy on social media. Several Taiwanese media outlets, including the Liberty Times (自由時報) and Mirror Media, reported the incident on December 17th.

 The article states, "As tensions between Japan and China continue to grow, the Chinese government has launched a series of retaliatory measures against Japan, and 'xiao fenhong' (小粉紅. little red powder, or "Mr.Pink," a term used to refer to patriotic young people) are also launching attacks against Japan in various places."

 Recently, a video has been going viral on the Chinese video-sharing app "Douyin" (抖音. the Chinese version of TikTok), showing a Chinese female groomer violently beating a Shiba Inu and insulting it by saying, "It's of Japanese blood!" The video has also been reposted on Japanese social media, sparking an outpouring of anger online.

 The video in question has been reposted on Chinese social media and platforms such as "Weibo (微博)," "Xiaohongshu" (小紅書. little red book, or "RED"), and "Bilibili." The video was originally posted on "Douyin" on October 23rd of this year.

 The video was uploaded by a female pet groomer named "Chongcang (崇崇)" who has 930,000 followers, and it is believed that multiple Shiba Inu dogs were victimized.

 The video shows "Miss. Chongcang (崇崇)" becoming enraged at the resistance of a Shiba Inu that a customer had brought to the shop, hitting the Shiba Inu repeatedly and forcefully on the head with her hand, harshly insulting it, and mercilessly striking the dog's entire body with a stick.

 In the process, "Miss. Chongcang" is heard yelling abusive language such as "You have no idea what the mood is at all. This is the same death as your ancestors!" and "Are you crazy？ Do you still think you're in that country (Japan)？ That country has already surrendered！ There's no point in resisting！"

 These actions have been met with applause on the Chinese internet. "Dogs only listen if they've been thoroughly beaten. This logic applies to Japanese people as well," "Takaichi Sanae! Say, 'Stop hitting me, I surrender！'" "Look！ We need to be more aggressive towards Japan！" "I have a dog too, and as long as they're not stabbing me with a knife, I can tolerate it！" "Getting to beat people while earning money is the best job. It's so satisfying to watch！" and other such comments were posted one after another.

 Miss.崇崇 explained about her full-force beating of the Shiba Inu, "It was all done with the owner's consent, and both parties had made a 'life and death contract' (a contract that stated that we would not be held responsible in the event of the dog's death)."

 She also said, "The unruly Shiba Inu was a regular on the 'blacklist,' a dog that had been refused entry at other stores."

 As the video went viral, foreign users who saw it quickly reposted it on social media outside of China, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. When it was also posted on X (formerly Twitter), a popular social networking site in Japan, it sparked fierce criticism in Japan.

 Japanese netizens commented, "Even if Japanese people dislike the Chinese government, they don't mistreat pandas." "We'll return the pandas, so please return the Shiba Inu to Japan." "If even dogs are treated like this, we can't imagine what kind of misery Japanese people will face if we go to China." "I hope neither Shiba Inu nor Akita Inu are exported to China that don't mind animal abuse."

 A dog expert in Taiwan said, "Shiba Inu are born with a fear of water. Shiba Inu will not like bathing unless their owners train them properly. Since dogs are used as a commodity to make money, pet shop staff should be professionally trained. They shouldn't wait until a problem occurs before hitting customers' pets with sticks."

 Perhaps it was the work of a disgruntled citizen. There are traces of eggs thrown at the store entrance. This is a pharmacy in Beijing.

 This pharmacy was selling 10 masks for the exorbitant price of approximately 13,000 yen.

In response to this incident, the Beijing Municipal Government imposed a fine of approximately 48 million yen on the pharmacy.

 According to Chinese media, this is the maximum fine allowed under the law.

 As the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak continues, masks are selling out in China, and some stores are selling them at inflated prices, fueling public discontent.

 In China, where protests over the release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant are growing, Japanese schools across the country have been hit by incidents of stones and eggs being thrown. Japanese schools are scrambling to respond by stepping up security.

 This morning, staff in front of a Japanese school in Shanghai were tightening security.

 According to a source, a Chinese man was spotted yelling at students on their way to school on August 25th. Following the release of treated water into the ocean, Japanese schools have sent emails to parents urging caution.

 "I make my child not speak Japanese on the way to school. I also try not to travel far and have him only run errands around the apartment building."

 Japanese schools across the country have been receiving a series of silent and harassing phone calls.

 In addition, stones were thrown at a Japanese school in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Eggs were also thrown at a Japanese school in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

 The Japanese Embassy has requested the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to punish the perpetrators and take measures to prevent recurrence. (However, the Chinese Communist Party government has ignored the issue without taking any measures.)

 On August 27, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to people planning to travel to or stay in China not to speak Japanese unnecessarily.

The Chinese Communist Party's "Ignorant People Policy"

  In some ways, the actions of those in power who oppress the people of Hong Kong are easy to understand. They are only concerned with surviving and navigating the Xi Jinping regime. They act as President Xi's hands and feet. This is clear from the words, actions, and behavior of China's Foreign Minister over the past month.

 The "cultural oppression" incident in Shanghai was a form of self-censorship. Not only diplomats, but even low-level local officials are trying to curry favor with the Communist government's dictator, reading the mood, fawning, and trying to curry favor with him.

 This is the state of affairs throughout China today. The Communist government is encouraging, inciting, and provoking Chinese citizens to turn their fangs against the Japanese. However, if the situation changes, they will turn their fangs against anyone, including the United States, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Nepal, India, or South Korea.

 In brief, officials under the Communist dictatorship view Chinese citizens as "The Ignorant People."

 The Chinese Communist Party dictatorship is wary of the autonomous, independent, spontaneous, subjective, and proactive unity of the people of Hong Kong and China. The Communist Party regime wants ordinary citizens to be obedient and tamed by Communist rule, silently obedient to its orders, and sees them only as targets for mobilization. To the Communist Party regime, citizens are creatures who must blindly obey those in power. The Communist Party government wants the "The Ignorant People" to remain "The Ignorant People." The Communist Party government believes that citizens are entitled to live as long as they remain "ignorant."

 The "policy of keeping the people ignorant" can also be seen as a governing method that underlies Chinese history since ancient times.

 The "policy of keeping the people ignorant" can also be seen as a governing policy common to communist regimes, whose basic philosophy is to "lead, manage, and control the people from above."

 It is likely that the current Chinese Communist Party regime's "policy of keeping the people ignorant" is a peculiar governing method that combines these two.

 What those in power under authoritarian regimes fear most is for ordinary citizens, who should be subject to arbitrary and coercive mobilization from the outside, to begin to view the behavior of those in power in their own country critically.

 Unfortunately, however, under the current circumstances, it is highly unlikely that a liberal political force will emerge to replace the Chinese Communist Party and that a democratic political party system in which the Chinese Communist Party and liberal parties compete will be established.

 Currently, there is no Khrushchev, Gorbachev, or Yeltsin within the Chinese Communist Party. Within the Russian Communist Party, they kept quiet, skillfully glided about, slowly climbing the ranks and waiting for their turn to shine. 

 Unfortunately, such talented statesman have no place within the Chinese Communist Party. Both the Hu Jintao factions and the Jiang Zemin faction have been purged and Talented individuals within both factions was wiped out in the 13 years since 2012.

 We Asians hope for a bright future for Hong Kong and China.

 However, the road ahead is difficult.

Hong Kong police block relief efforts for the high-rise apartment fire. Perhaps fearful of criticism of the government. Volunteers say they have no choice but to continue.

2025/11/29 18:40

 On November 29, local police demanded that volunteers distributing supplies near the site of a large-scale fire in a Hong Kong high-rise apartment complex remove their supplies. Their efforts were effectively blocked. Multiple supporters testified. According to Hong Kong media, authorities are wary of people who have previously participated in anti-government demonstrations being involved in relief efforts.

 As more evacuees began sleeping in evacuation centers and shopping malls after the fire, many supporters engaged in efforts to distribute clothing, food, and other items. More than 20,000 people joined a victim support group on a messaging app.

 According to volunteers, on the morning of the 29th, police officers demanded the removal of supplies, citing the fact that the square where the activity was taking place was a public space and the declining number of evacuees. Supporters transported the supplies to a warehouse. One volunteer expressed frustration, saying, "If the authorities ask us to, we have no choice but to continue our activities." (Kyodo News)

Hong Kong fire. China restricts memorials. Is this a sign of a "second Tiananmen Square" crisis?

December 4 (Thu) 4:40 PM

JoongAng Ilbo Japanese Edition

 Before the mood of mourning following the massive apartment fire in Hong Kong had even cooled, Chinese authorities threatened to silence the protesters by charging them with "incitement." This appears to be due to concerns about the possibility of anti-China demonstrations similar to those in 2019.

 Thousands of mourners and volunteers from across Hong Kong visited the fire site. A flurry of petitions were filed calling for an independent investigation into the cause of the fire and for a full investigation.

 On November 28, Hong Kong police arrested a university student who led the petition calling for an investigation. When a civic group composed of lawyers, social workers, and policy experts announced a press conference, the Hong Kong police summoned them. On November 30, Hong Kong police dispersed the volunteers at the fire site and set up a police command center there.

 The Office for Safeguarding National Security, established under the National Security Law, warned against using disasters to cause chaos in Hong Kong, referencing the 2019 Hong Kong protests. The Office further claimed, "Anti-China supporters are spreading false information and maliciously obstructing government relief efforts. They are attempting to plunge Hong Kong back into the chaos of the anti-extradition bill protests."

 The New York Times noted, "Following the 2019 protests, China introduced a public security system in Hong Kong, outlawing any activity contrary to China's interests. This was prompted by a sense of crisis that vigils could lead to collective action."

 The Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post noted that the fire "exposed corruption in Hong Kong's construction industry, which is rife with irregularities such as bid rigging and inflated construction costs."

 The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), a group of anti-China lawmakers from Western countries, told the New York Times, "The Chinese and Hong Kong governments fear anything that unites people and creates a collective identity. Hong Kong people will stand up and make decisions if necessary."

 The day after the fire, public and private volunteers were distributing daily necessities in a square near the high-rise apartment building where the fire occurred (November 27, 2025, 12:27 PM, Hong Kong).

 As restrictions on citizens tighten following the fire at a high-rise apartment building in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government is also keeping a close eye on the activities of private volunteer groups providing support to residents displaced from their homes. On November 29th, police demanded that private organizations "withdraw," hindering voluntary support activities by citizens.

【Passage of Hu Yaobang】35 years have passed since Hu Yaobang's death. Chinese plainclothes police keep a watchful eye in the town where his grave is located. Perhaps they are wary of any incidents that could lead to criticism of the government.

2024/04/16 07:50

[Gongqingcheng (Jiangxi Province, China)] 

 April 15, 2024, marked 35 years since the death of Hu Yaobang, the reformist leader who served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in the 1980s.

 Authorities in Gongqingcheng, where his grave is located, have imposed a state of high alert.

 Hu Yaobang's grave is located in Gongqingcheng.  Gongqingcheng is a city that was developed under the guidance of Hu Yaobang, the former head of the Communist Youth League. According to local authorities, a memorial service was held on April 15th. During the event, nearly 100 plainclothes police officers kept a watchful eye on the area, prohibiting entry to anyone other than those involved.

 The treatment of Hu Yaobang, who was ousted over his handling of pro-democracy students, was a sensitive issue within the party.

 Under the Xi administration, which places great importance on "national security," China has strengthened social control. Authorities are wary of a situation in which movements to commemorate Hu Yaobang could lead to criticism of the government.

This spontaneous memorial for a deceased Chinese leader was unprecedented in scale. The Xi Jinping administration is wary of the memorial turning into criticism of the government.

 Authorities are wary of growing sympathy for Li, who has been rumored to have had a feud with Xi Jinping, in the local area. Plainclothes police officers also kept a close eye on passersby.

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will feature a new event, the "Table Tennis Mixed Team" World Cup. A large number of Chinese female "cheerleaders" will be mobilized. Booing is a big hit！

  Late last Saturday night (December 6th) (Japan time), I watched the TV broadcast of the Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup. It's a new event at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

 I'm not a table tennis fan; I just happened to tune in.

 I watched the final match of the second round, a live broadcast of Japan vs. France.

Japan had already advanced to the semifinals (the semifinals are Japan vs. Germany and China vs. South Korea), and France had already been eliminated from the qualifying round, so it was a dead giveaway for both teams.

 But both the French and Japanese teams were fighting seriously.

 Even as an amateur, I could tell that the French team, the "French Revolutionary Brothers" (the meaning of which I'm not sure...), were strong. France won.

 As I watched, I thought, "Since this is a dead giveaway for Japan, it would be fine to let France have the glory in the final match."

 However, the atmosphere inside the stadium was strange. Throughout the long match, every time a French player scored a point, there were thunderous cheers of joy. Whenever a Japanese player scored even a single point, the entire packed arena (mostly women) erupted in raucous booing. Every single person in the arena booed at the same time and with the same style. They were perfectly synchronized. The audience wasn't French, but all Chinese.

 Most of the crowd filling the arena were likely either "Sakura" (Shill, Lockvogel, fake customer) for the Communist government or Communist Party members. Many of Japan's top players play in China's professional leagues, so persistent booing, yelling, and verbal abuse are unlikely behavior for the average table tennis fan.

 If you're a baseball fan, even if you personally dislike Mexicans or think Cuba is America's enemy, would you continue to boo Mexican or Cuban players from the start of a game until the end in WBC? You'd probably end up exhausted more than the players. If you did that, you wouldn't enjoy the game at all, even though you've spent a lot of money on transportation and tickets to come and watch.

 The Chinese spectators filling the venue were extremely enthusiastic, constantly booing with all their might. It must have been hard work.

 Those who watched on TV or YouTube will have noticed that almost the entire packed audience in the venue was made up of people of the same age. It seems unnatural. This was the World Cup held in a major city, and an international match for table tennis, China's "national sport" (because Mao Zedong loved it). 

 And yet, among the throngs of spectators filling the spacious stands, there was not a single child. No elderly people. No foreigners. Only young women. 

 It was clear that the Communist government had bought up all the tickets and mobilized a specific group of people. Since there was no "evidence" (if they spoke out, they would be socially ostracized), the mass media was not reporting it.

 It seemed that these women had not come to watch a table tennis match, but rather had made the effort to come to the venue out of a desire to "feel good by hurting people from an 'enemy country,'" and to "show the Japanese people how badly they are beating up Japanese people by having their scenes broadcast on Japanese television."

 Watching their behavior on live Japanese television, we felt pity for them.

 Incidentally, just before the match, the French president had visited China and met with the Chinese president. Apparently, the French president did not mention the Taiwan issue, but France's playful diplomacy toward China, known as "independent diplomacy," dates back to the de Gaulle administration.

 The following day, on Sunday night, December 7th (Japan time), the semi-final match was being broadcast live on television. Japan vs. Germany. I'm not a table tennis fan and just happened to be watching, but I watched it thinking, "It would have been more interesting if the match had been closer. I wish Germany had tried a little harder." The match was one-sidedly dominated by the Japanese team.

 Just like the day before, the packed Chinese audience (mostly women) cheered loudly for the German players, roaring wildly every time a German player scored a point. In turn, the women booed wildly every time a Japanese player scored a point. This continued from the very start of the match.

 Furthermore, a while ago, the Chinese Foreign Minister met with his Russian counterpart and spoke of the "achievements of World War II." Last month, the Chinese President apparently called the US President and spoke of "victory over totalitarianism," "victory over fascism," and "common values."

 The above matches were also likely broadcast in France, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore and other countries. Were the table tennis fans in France, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong who watched the matches on TV or online videos pleased?

 The Chinese Communist Party's cheerleading squad spent the whole day in the gym booing. (The Japanese team played against other teams, including China, before their match against France on December 6th. They also faced China in the final on December 7th.)

 It was very hard work.

 As expected of Communism！

 Thank you for your tough job 💔

 The tournament was held amid tense Japan-China relations. In the match against France on the 6th, Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto, facing LeBlanc, was booed repeatedly by the crowd, but loud cheers erupted whenever France scored.

 A yell of "Damn you who support Japan!" was heard from the crowd, forcing LeBlanc to start over as he was about to serve. Mizutani, who also covered the match at the venue, said, "It wasn't heckling, it was verbal abuse. It was the most horrible language I've ever heard at any venue. The players were also shaken. I thought those words were truly unacceptable. After that (the verbal abuse of "Damn you who support Japan!"), the venue erupted in excitement..."

 He also reported that "No matter which country Japan was playing, cheers rang out every time the opponent scored." Regarding Harimoto, there was also a mistake when her sister, Miwa Harimoto, was announced twice during the player introductions on the 5th.

 Mizutani revealed that she was taking precautions during the tournament, such as "avoiding going out on the town, not speaking much Japanese, and not letting anyone know she was Japanese when walking outside the venue by not passing the ball."

 Regarding the political and economic pressure from China since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Diet response on November 7, Mizutani (Tokyo Olympic gold medalist) said, "I was more tense than usual. Even before traveling, I avoided going out in the city, didn't speak Japanese, and even removed my pass when leaving the venue, so as not to reveal that I was Japanese."

 Amid rising tensions between Japan and China following Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks about a Taiwan emergency, abusive language was reported from spectators at the Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup, held in Chengdu, China, from November 30th to December 7th.

■An uneasy atmosphere of constant surveillance

Mizutani played in the Chinese Super League from 2008 to 2010.

 Mizutani confessed that he felt more nervous than usual attending this year's World Cup.

He recalled, "I was careful not to go out on the streets and not speak much Japanese."

 He also revealed that even after arriving in China, "there was an uneasy atmosphere of constant surveillance." He revealed that TV station staff were taken into a separate room and forced to take saliva tests.

 What Mizutani found odd was the behavior of the crowd at the stadium. When Harimoto Tomokazu played against a French player, there were loud cheers when he made a mistake. When he scored, there were boos. A French player posted on social media, "We really felt sorry for Tomokazu today. It was painful to see him in that situation."

 Mizutani was outraged, saying, "In addition to booing and heckling, there was also abusive language. This is unacceptable behavior." While Harimoto was playing, a young woman shouted, "Damn anyone who supports Japan!" and the stadium erupted in response, with insults flying everywhere. This happened repeatedly. Play was stopped multiple times.

 Chinese media outlet Sohu (Web Edition) ran a feature article on the 2025 Table Tennis Mixed Team World Cup (W Cup) held in Chengdu, China, reporting that Japan national team player Tomokazu Harimoto (Toyota Motor Corporation, 22) "was treated like an outsider despite returning to his 'hometown.'"

■ "My name was called out twice during the pre-match call-outs."

 The Mixed Team World Cup kicked off in Chengdu, China, on November 30th.

Due to the deterioration of Japan-China relations, the Japanese team faced a tough battle in a "completely away" environment. Men's star player Harimoto was particularly booed by the local crowd every time he played.

 Sohu published an article titled "What was going through the mind of 22-year-old Tomokazu Harimoto, who remained silent despite the boos of the entire crowd?", looking back on Harimoto's performance at the tournament.

 The article explained, "The mixed team World Cup in Chengdu was a particularly tough match for 22-year-old Tomokazu Harimoto. Despite returning to his hometown, the Japanese player from Sichuan Province was treated like an outsider and booed by the crowd. His name was omitted twice during the pre-match call-out. This situation left the spectators with mixed emotions."

 The "pre-match call" mentioned in the article refers to the "trouble" that occurred during the match against South Korea on the 5th.

 Booing from the crowd and "taunts" with hands over ears.

 As the Japanese players were being called in order during the pre-match introductions, when it was Harimoto's turn, "Miwa Harimoto" was called out. Given that his sister Miwa was waiting right after him, it could have been a simple "mistake," but Harimoto looked stunned when "Miwa Harimoto" was called out again. When his own name was finally called, he entered the field without changing his expression.

 The media outlet then went on to discuss Harimoto's performance in the match against Hong Kong on the 3rd. According to the article, Harimoto put his hand to his ear in response to the slanderous comments coming from the stands.

 This was perceived as a provocation and drew a backlash from the crowd.

 The article explained, "In response to the cheers of the Hong Kong players, Harimoto put his hand to his ear in a provocation, but otherwise remained mostly silent. After the match, he answered questions from Chinese reporters in Japanese throughout, intentionally keeping his distance."

 The spectator etiquette of Chinese fans at this tournament became a hot topic online, drawing much criticism from Japanese table tennis fans.
