#Japanese users react to #Chinese media's #criticism of
Japanese tourism with "Don't come" comments.
A March 2026 article on China.org.cn pointed out that
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks had caused
a sharp decline in Chinese #tourists visiting Japan,
urging Japan to gain trust from neighboring #Asian countries.
The article cited the Chinese government's call for self-restraint on
travel as the reason, noting a 56.8% decrease in Chinese tourists
in April 2026 compared to the previous year.
The total number of visitors to Japan remained at a record high, with an increase in visitors from #SouthKorea and #Taiwan .
Japanese users countered
with data-based arguments such as
"We aim to be a leading technological nation" and
"Come after you've learned proper manners."
