Japan Seeks Explanation for Child's Death in China

Yahoo! JAPAN has ceased its services in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom as of April 6, 2022, citing difficulties in maintaining a continuous service environment in these regions. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated between Japan and China following the stabbing death of a Japanese schoolboy in Shenzhen, which has prompted Japan to demand a thorough investigation and a crackdown on anti-Japanese sentiments online.
