Group 1 - The recent erroneous remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi have sparked criticism domestically, particularly affecting the tourism industry and economy in the Kansai region, which is closely linked to Chinese tourists and Japan-China trade [1][3] - Since November, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of tourists from China to Osaka, which is heavily focused on the tourism industry. If this situation persists, sectors related to tourism in Kansai, such as accommodation, transportation, and local products, will face significant impacts [3][5] - The Kansai region has maintained strong trade relations with China, particularly in IT and electronic components. Continued issues stemming from Takaichi's remarks could lead to substantial economic repercussions for the region [5][7] Group 2 - Chinese students represent a significant demographic in Japanese higher education, with over 100,000 students annually, accounting for approximately 30-40% of all international students in Japan. Deteriorating Japan-China political relations may reduce the willingness of Chinese students to study in Japan, adversely affecting higher education and bilateral exchanges [5][7] - The potential decline in Chinese students' willingness to study in Japan could hinder the long-term development of Japan-China friendly relations, emphasizing the need for Takaichi to demonstrate respect for these relations to foster peace in East Asia and globally [7]
