Number of Recognized Crimes Against Chinese Nationals in Japan
November 21, 2025
In recent announcements by the Chinese government, there are mentions as if there has been a surge in criminal cases against Chinese nationals in Japan this year, suggesting an increased risk of safety. However, such assertion is incorrect.
The attachment is the trend in the number of recognized cases of felonious crimes (murder, robbery, arson) in Japan where the nationality of the victim is Chinese. It also includes cases where the nationality of the main suspect was found to be Chinese.
