WILL RESOLVE "YES" if any anti-Japan protests take place in any certain Chinese city (including Hongkong SAR and Macau SAR) by 1Jan 2024. Anti-Japanese sentiment (banners, flags, musical instruments, or wear team uniforms by sports fans) at sporting events not counted.

As the effects of Interwar period wars and World War II, anti-Japanese sentiment is not a new phenomenon in China. The recent assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe shined a light on how pervasive anti-Japanese sentiment remains in China.

What happened most recently:

1. As leaders of the world expressed shocked and regret over the former prime minister's assassination, Chinese social media users expressed joy and celebrated the death of Abe.

2. Chinese anime fan claims police interrogated her for wearing a kimono. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/15/china/china-anime-fan-kimono-police-mic-intl-hnk/index.html

3. A Chinese professor mourned Abe then her Chinese social media account got suspended, attacked by Chinese netizens and school investigated her. https://thebl.com/china/chinese-professor-mourns-abe-her-weibo-suspended-and-school-investigates-her.html

More and more...

There seems to be the same pattern happening in China again and things are getting even more ugly. A little brief about anti-japan protests as below,

The 2012 anti-Japan protests across China over islands dispute might be the biggest flare-up of anti-Japan sentiment since at least 2005, were sparked by Tokyo's decision to buy the Japanese-controlled Senkaku islands. Sovereignty over the islands, located in the East China Sea and known as Diaoyu in China, is also claimed by both Beijing and Taiwan. Demonstrators hurled rocks, eggs and bottles at the Japanese embassy. Some Japanese-run factories including a Panasonic facility and a supermarket in the eastern port city of Qingdao were attacked and one was burnt.

The usual governament react was let the official Xinhua news agency on called for “wisdom” and urged protesters to “be rational and obey the law”, refrain from “smashing and looting” and express their patriotism without “disrupting domestic social order”. For Beijing, allowing such large protests is that they could be used to air social grievances that have nothing to do with the disputed islands, as well as pro-nationalist slogans. Overall speaking, these are always incited by Chinese governament.
