‘Shameful’ Japanese tourists detained in China over Great Wall incident sparks outrage at home
Two Japanese tourists in their twenties were detained in China after one exposed his buttocks on the Great Wall while the other photographed him, sparking outrage in Japan. The incident, which occurred in early January, led to the pair being held for two weeks on suspicion of violating public security laws before being deported.
News of the incident broke on Thursday, triggering swift and harsh reactions online in Japan. Many Japanese citizens expressed shame and anger, fearing that the tourists' actions would damage the overall image of the Japanese people internationally. Some called for the individuals to be named publicly so they could atone for their actions and deter similar incidents in the future, while others suggested the event reflected a broader decline in Japanese morals and education.
