Japanese news media reported a surge of Chinese visitors during China’s National Day holiday, but not that there would be 20 million Chinese travelers arriving in Japan.
Fun History“The Japanese are so good at bragging, 20 million travelers?...If there were indeed 20 million Chinese going to Japan, the Japanese won’t dare to sleep at night!”From September 29 to October 6, China celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. The holiday is known as Golden Week, and it is China’s longest public holiday break this year since Beijing further loosened strict COVID-19 travel restrictions for its citizens.
One other trend focused on attacking Japanese news outlets and the alleged claim that they were exaggerating the number of visitors from China. These threads also tied tourism to the release of filtered radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into the Pacific Ocean, which the Chinese government strongly opposes.
Chinese influencers accused Japanese news outlets of “spreading fake news” claiming the news media in Japan reported that 20 million Chinese would travel to Japan during the Golden Week.“The Japanese are so good at bragging, 20 million travelers?...If there were indeed 20 million Chinese going to Japan, the Japanese won’t dare to sleep at night!”That is misleading..
Polygraph.info could not find any Japanese news media reports that “20 million Chinese” were traveling to Japan during the holiday.One post said: “Anyone with a little bit of patriotism will not go to Japan. Some Japanese are deliberately trashing us on our National Day!”
