Given that multiple criminal offenses and incidents of attacks against Chinese nationals in Japan this year, coupled with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks concerning Taiwan that have severely undermined the atmosphere for China-Japan personnel exchanges, the Chinese Foreign Ministry and Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Japan issued a solemn reminder on Friday, advising Chinese nationals to refrain from traveling to Japan in the near future, Chinese Foreign Ministry's Department of Consular Affairs said on its official WeChat account.

It also reminded Chinese nationals already in Japan to closely monitor the local public security situation, enhance safety awareness, and strengthen self-protection. 

In case of emergencies, individuals are advised to promptly contact local police and seek assistance from Chinese diplomatic missions in Japan, the Department of Consular Affairs added.
