China’s Education Ministry released an overseas study alert on Sunday, urging Chinese students currently in Japan or planning to study there soon to assess risks carefully, take necessary precautions, and plan their studies prudently, reported Xinhua. The ministry said that safety risks for Chinese citizens in Japan have risen, citing Japan’s recent poor public security, a surge in crimes targeting Chinese citizens, and the overall unfavourable study environment.
