COLOGNE, Germany (Reuters) - While England won their group at Euro 2024 their humdrum scoreless draw against Slovenia on Tuesday, the third dull performance in as many games, had frustrated supporters poking fun at coach Gareth Southgate and his team.
BEIJING: A knife attack on a Japanese woman and her child in China on Monday has triggered yet another wave of xenophobic comments on Chinese social media, with some even hailing the attacker as a “hero”.
The two Japanese victims suffered non-life threatening injuries and were taken to hospital, said Suzhou police. A Chinese woman who tried to prevent the attack was seriously wounded. In a post on Xiaohongshu, an Instagram-like platform, a user asked why Japanese people were allowed to have schools in China. It drew a response that read: “China is actively promoting itself to the world, and comments like yours are shutting the door.”
But foreigners’ concerns seem to have lingered, as the US and Japanese populations in China have plummeted in recent years. Some 800 Americans are studying in China in 2024, compared with 15,000 around 2012. An estimated 100,000 Japanese nationals currently live in China, down from a peak of 150,000 around 2012.
