He was attacked by a 44-year-old man on his way to #Guangzhou Japanese School in the south-eastern city of #Shenzhen last Wednesday. The boy, who is the son of a Japanese father and Chinese mother, died from his injuries the next day...It was the second attack on a Japanese national this year and took place on the 93rd anniversary of the# #Japanese invasion of #Manchuria — a region of north-east #China that today consists of the #Liaoning, #Jilin and #Heilongjiang provinces. After the attack on the 10-year-old, the #Chinese ambassador in #Tokyo was summoned by the Japanese Foreign Ministry where he was 'strongly urged that security be strengthened including around Japanese schools throughout China'. Japan's Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa described the attack as 'despicable' and asked her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi to 'make every possible effort' to prevent further attacks on Japanese nationals in China.
