[Epoch Times, July 30, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Xu Jian comprehensive report) After Japan’s table tennis mixed doubles defeated the Chinese team to win the championship, Japanese gymnastics star Hashimoto Dahui defeated Chinese player Xiao Ruoteng to win the gold medal, the Chinese Communist Party official media Inciting netizens to insult Japanese players and shocked the Japanese society, and the Japanese government expressed its stance on this.
In the Eastern Olympics Gymnastics Men’s Individual All-Around Final, Hashimoto Dahui defeated Xiao Ruoteng by 0.4 points to win the gold medal. The CCP’s mouthpiece “Global Times” was furious on Thursday, saying that the judges were biased towards Hashimoto, and some Chinese netizens criticized the referee for being unfair. , And carried out personal attacks on Hashimoto, and even said “keep in mind the blood and blood feud with Japan.”
On Thursday, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) issued a statement explaining Hashimoto’s results and confirming that his ranking and scoring are fair.
But there are still many Chinese netizens who bypassed the firewall and logged into Hashimoto’s Instagram account, criticizing him as a “fake champion”; there are even many little pinks who abused Instagram’s “tag” function and added Hashimoto Daiki’s photos “Japan’s national humiliation” and other words; others accused him of stealing the gold medals of Chinese players. Some people even tagged him in photos of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some accounts that attacked Hashimoto seemed to be created specifically for this purpose.
Hashimoto later changed the privacy settings on Instagram so that he could no longer be tagged on the platform-but abusive comments continued to flood into his account.
Previously, the Japanese table tennis duo Mizutani Hayabusa and Ito Mimaru defeated the Chinese team by a narrow margin on Monday and won the first ever mixed doubles gold medal, which caused the CCP to lose the world leader in a sport that was once proud of. What makes it even more difficult for some Chinese to accept is that the winner is Japan. Because of the CCP’s deliberately vilifying propaganda for many years, some Chinese people are full of hatred for Japan.
The CCP’s little pink attacked Mizutani and Ito wildly, calling them “foul” and “cheating”. Mizutani said on Twitter on Wednesday that he had received a lot of information from “a certain country” attacking him, “Tell me’Go to hell!'” And Ito’s account on Weibo was violently attacked by hate comments, and she had to Turn it off.
These attacks have attracted widespread attention in Japan, made headlines, and sparked outrage on social media.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato Katsunobu said at a press conference on Thursday that he heard these incidents but did not know the details.
“As the government, we believe that no discrimination should be allowed,” he said. “This is also against the spirit of the Tokyo Olympics. We ask everyone to let the athletes focus on the game so that they can do their best.”
Free Asia quoted Ako Tomoko, an expert on China and a professor at the University of Tokyo’s Department of Comprehensive Culture, as saying that many Japanese people are angry with the behavior of Chinese netizens, and these dissatisfaction with China will even affect Japan’s general elections.
“Some reports say that the netizens employed by China (the CCP) also have a 50 cents party. The Japanese are very angry and very angry after reading the news. The Japanese people see that China (the CCP) is so powerful, and they bully other people and hate China (the CCP). ), many people think that China (the CCP) is terrible. I am very worried that nationalism is very dangerous.”
She also pointed out that some influential Japanese politicians have close relations with the CCP and have an ambiguous attitude towards the CCP. Japan will re-elect the House of Representatives after the East Olympics. The angry attitude of the Japanese people may affect the election results.
Some experts also believe that the CCP’s strategy of fighting the wolf outside has caused some domestic netizens to be so fierce.
Lin Xian, a professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at National Taiwan Normal University, said, “This should be said to be a reflection of Wolf Warrior’s diplomacy. Chinese netizens believe that if they are unfair to China, they will go out in one go without taking another standpoint. I just felt that the unfavorable opinions against China (the CCP) were wrong anyway, and they bounced back strongly. In fact, the official wolf war diplomacy and the response of the people are mutually stimulating, which is caused by a vicious circle.”
