国際｜中国で日本人公演中止続出の背景 / International | Background Behind the Series of Cancellations of Japanese Performances in China

Summary

A concert by a Japanese singer in Beijing, China was abruptly canceled just before it was set to begin.

Such cancellations have extended to other performances by Japanese artists, and it is believed that tensions between Japan and China are having an impact. In particular, economic losses are estimated to reach around 1.79 trillion yen, raising concerns about future repercussions. Furthermore, the Chinese government is calling for restrictions on travel, which could also affect the number of visitors to Japan.

Log: Have you heard that performances by Japanese artists have been canceled in China recently? It seems that the tensions between Japan and China are behind it.
Chako: Really? Why is that happening? It’s so unfortunate for the people who were looking forward to those events!
Log: Definitely. It seems to be having a significant economic impact, with estimated losses reaching 1.79 trillion yen.
Navi: Such cancellations are often influenced by changes in international relations and political situations.

Admin’s Note

It is very unfortunate that the recent deterioration in relations between Japan and China is impacting artists and events. In particular, the loss of opportunities for people to connect through music and culture is a significant loss for both sides. As Chako mentioned, considering the feelings of fans who were looking forward to these events, this situation is increasingly concerning. I feel that more people need to pay attention to the effects of international tensions on cultural exchanges.
