The more you don't let go, the more you want to go!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism took turns to persuade them to withdraw, and the airlines directly opened free refunds and changes, and the warnings were handed over to them.

But the queues to Japan at Haneda and Narita airports are still lined up out of sight, all of which are Chinese tourists.

The reporter came up to ask, and the tourist's answer directly stepped on the minefield.

Recently, Sino-Japanese relations have really dropped to a freezing point.

When Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was questioned in the Diet, she actually directly tied "something happened to Taiwan" and "whether Japan can survive" and said, implying that she might use force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait.

As soon as her words came out, the atmosphere between the two people directly cooled down, and many people immediately resisted going to Japan.

What's even worse is that the recent attacks on Chinese in Japan are so many that it is unsettling.

In July this year, a malicious attack occurred on the streets of Tokyo.

At around 9 a.m. that morning, during the morning rush hour, two Chinese young men in their 30s were walking on the streets of Kandasuda-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Who would have thought that four young people in dark clothes and work hats would suddenly rush out next to them, holding iron rods in their hands and slamming them on the head.

After the attack, the four quickly ran to Akihabara Station, got into a car with a Kansai license plate and fled.

Afterwards, the police investigation found that they had destroyed the surrounding surveillance with black spray paint in advance - apparently planned in advance.

Fortunately, the two injured young men were not life-threatening despite severe forehead bleeding.

Just the day before the attack in Tokyo, something similar happened in Osaka.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of July 30, a 19-year-old Chinese male college student was walking normally on the streets of Osaka's Nishinari Ward when he was strangled by a 32-year-old unemployed Japanese man from behind.

The man not only beat him, but also snatched his wallet and mobile phone.

Not only is the street uneven, but even the airport, a place that everyone thinks should be safe, is also in a situation.

In early October this year, a 73-year-old Chinese man accidentally forgot his wallet on the checkpoint while going through security at Narita Airport, which contained 640,000 yen in cash.

Who would have thought that when a 25-year-old young security inspector next to him saw it, he would have a crooked mind, quietly stuffed his wallet into his uniform and took it out of the security checkpoint, and spent 60,000 yen on drinking.

The old man didn't find out that his wallet was lost until he checked in, and after calling the police, the police adjusted the surveillance for 72 hours before he caught the person.

In view of these circumstances, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan were the first to issue a notice, advising domestic people not to go to Japan recently, and Chinese who are already there should also be extra careful and strengthen self-protection.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism also issued a similar reminder, which is equivalent to an official travel warning.

As soon as the official notice was released, major airlines immediately adjusted their arrangements.

On November 15, Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines were the first to act, followed by more than a dozen companies such as Hainan Airlines and Sichuan Airlines, all of which launched special refund and change plans for Japanese routes.

According to the new regulations, as long as the ticket is purchased before the 15th and departs for Japan before the end of the year, whether the destination is popular cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, or Sapporo, Okinawa and other places, refunds and changes can be processed free of charge without additional handling fees.

This convenience applies not only to regular tickets, but also to award tickets redeemed with miles.

As soon as these measures were introduced, the effect was immediate, and soon there was a large-scale wave of refunds.

So far, about 500,000 tickets to Japan have been refunded by airlines. In Shanghai, for example, the cancellation rate of local travel agencies for Japanese travel routes has also exceeded 60%.

Originally, everyone thought that since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism have issued reminders, and airlines have opened free refunds and changes, no one should choose to go to Japan at this time.

But unexpectedly, the number of Chinese tourists who have actually flown to Japan recently is really not small.

There are still long queues in front of the check-in counter at Shanghai Pudong Airport, and in the arrivals hall of Tokyo's Haneda Airport, compatriots who speak Mandarin can be seen everywhere, and even the salespeople in the duty-free shop automatically switch to Chinese service.

The Japanese media were excited to see this, and they stayed at the airport to interview these Chinese tourists, wondering why everyone insisted on going in such a sensitive period.

These interview images were sent back to China and exploded on the Internet in an instant.

According to the interview, many people's Japanese itinerary is actually scheduled more than half a year in advance, especially those hot spring hotels or special homestays, many of which require a one-time payment.

If it is canceled now, it will either not be able to be refunded in full, or more than half of the money will have to be deducted, which is really not cost-effective.

An aunt from Shanghai mentioned in an interview that her monthly retirement salary is only 4,000 yuan, and if she leaves the hotel, she will lose more than 2,000 yuan in vain, which is equivalent to half a month's income is gone.

There are also people who not only find it difficult to return from the hotel, but also book the itinerary tickets they want to use locally, and they have to communicate back and forth if they want to return, which is time-consuming and troublesome.

Some people tossed for several days and didn't get it done, so they simply didn't return and set off as originally planned.

However, many netizens do not buy the statement of "economic loss".

They retorted that domestic airlines have obviously introduced free refund and change policies to minimize everyone's losses.

In this context, if we still blindly emphasize economic reasons, it is impossible to distinguish the importance of lightness, and it is a bit selfish to say it is heavy.

Some netizens dug up the old account of the national boycott of travel to South Korea during the "THAAD incident" many years ago, when the collective action of Chinese tourists did make the Korean tourism industry feel a biting chill.

In contrast, the "retrograde" of some tourists in the face of national righteousness is particularly eye-catching, and it is no wonder that everyone is so disappointed.

If the above tourist reasons are convincing, what the tourists said below is simply furious.

In front of the camera, a tourist from Shanghai admitted that he did not understand the current situation, but he felt that "the official was just reminding him, and he did not say that he would not be allowed to go."

He shared his experience, "I have been to Japan several times, and I can get my wallet back, it's safer than anywhere!" ”

When asked by the Japanese media about their views on Japan's security, several female tourists responded without thinking: "China is just as safe." ”

Some people think that the antagonistic atmosphere on the Internet is too strong, but in reality, tourism is tourism, politics is politics, and there is no need to tie them together.

Most of them feel that safety warning is a bit of a "big deal", as long as they pay attention and don't go to remote places, there will be no problem.

Some young people even said that "spending their own money to travel, others can't control it", and they didn't take the country's reminder to heart at all, which is really chilling.

To be honest, everyone's situation is different, if you have spent a lot of money or the itinerary is really not easy to adjust, you have to go according to the plan, everyone can understand it to some extent.

But some people don't care about safety reminders at all, and even feel that "Japan is much safer than China", which is really unreliable.

Recently, there have been 27 attacks on our Chinese in Japan, and many cases have not been solved so far, which shows that security risks are real and not casual.

Going out to play is meant to relax, but if it is both a safety risk and may cause trouble to the country, is this trip worth it?
