SHENZHEN, China -A Japanese boy was stabbed on his way to school in southern China on Wednesday morning, according to Japanese government sources.
The boy was attacked by a man in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. The area is a hub for tech firms and many Japanese companies operate there.
The child is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital. The man has been detained and is being interrogated by Chinese authorities.
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroshi Moriya said at a press conference Wednesday morning: “To protect Japanese citizens, we requested the Chinese authorities to take preventive measures and share detailed information.”
