China: More Details On Chinese Embassey Attack! (25.3.2026)

We can seriously think about how could a Self-Defense Force officer who has just joined the army for less than a month have the courage to do so in violation of international law and directly challenge the bottom line of Sino-Japanese relations? As we all know, the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations clearly stipulates that embassies and their diplomatic personnel abroad are strictly protected by international law, and no country or individual may illegally trespass or threaten the safety of diplomatic personnel. The man’s actions not only violated Japan’s domestic law, but also seriously violated international law, posing a great threat to our country’s sovereignty and the safety of diplomatic personnel.

Japan: Armed Fascist Soldier – Kodai Murata (村田晃大) [23] – Attacks Chinese Embassy! (25.3.2026)

The intruder has been identified as Kodai Murata (村田晃大), 23, a second lieutenant in Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF), stationed at Camp Ebino in Miyazaki Prefecture, according to Kyodo News, citing Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. A second lieutenant is the lowest officer rank within the GSDF.

The suspect allegedly entered the premises of the Chinese embassy at around 9 a.m. local time, carrying a knife and shouting threatening words. He was initially detained by embassy staff and later arrested by police on suspicion of unlawful entry, the report said.

Japanese police described the incident as “very regrettable” and said round-the-clock security would be provided for the embassy compound.

The GSDF said it would cooperate fully with the police and deal with the case “strictly,” proceeding “based on facts.”
