There was also the anti-Japanese riots in China in 2012. I was in Shanghai at the time and a lot of my Japanese friends living there were very worried. Some of them went back to Japan for a few weeks to wait for things to calm down...
And yes the LDP does not help things with their racist nationalist discourse. They tend to use foreigners as a scapegoat responsible for all problems Japan has... (Abe Shinzo might not be as bad as Trump but only just..)
- wodenokoto 10y agoJust to add to this, the anti-Japanese riots in China were a really big deal: The Japanese Embassy advised Japanese people in Nanjing to stay in door. Japanese clothing store "Uniqlo" temporarily closed all stores, and covered store windows with giant Chinese flags and removed/hid other visible branding for fear of rioters razing the stores. Some stores around Nanjing would even give you a discount if you yelled "I hate Japan" It was and unbelievable situation.
