According to Epoch Times on December 19, 2024, under the CCP’s “anti-America and anti-Japan” propaganda, many “little pink” comments and behaviors have sparked controversy. Recently, a video circulating on the internet showed a scene of Chinese employees working at a bento factory in Japan with the sound of “drugging the little Japanese.” A councilor in Sendai, Japan, expressed concerns that this incident has raised public worries, and the city government and councilors need to take corresponding measures.
Recently, a video circulating on Chinese social media platforms has attracted attention. In a 194-second video, a Chinese person showcased “a day of making bento boxes in Japan.” The video captured the process of making mapo tofu, dumplings, and eating fried noodles during lunch break, as well as cleaning up after work. The video featured Chinese AI narration throughout.
The video shows many Chinese employees preparing and packaging food. In the footage, some employees were not wearing masks, and there was a scene of a female employee taking off her mask to eat fried chicken. The narrator also mentioned that the Japanese love “mapo tofu from China.”
But the most controversial content appeared at the 33-second mark, with the narrator saying, “Why not give a little medicine to the little Japanese?”
On December 14, a Japanese netizen uploaded the video to social media platform X.
After the video was exposed, local residents began to worry about eating “tampered bento boxes.” Upon learning of this, the Sendai local government promptly responded.
According to a report by Japan’s Nikkei Shimbun, on December 16, the Sendai city government responded, stating, “We are currently verifying the exact location of the factory in the video, and will further investigate any violations, including behaviors such as workers bringing prohibited items like mobile phones into the work area and improper wearing of masks by employees posing potential hygiene concerns.”
A relevant person from Sendai city stated, “The comments in the video used slang and can be interpreted as ‘why not mix in a bit of poison?’ It is necessary to confirm who made such remarks and absolutely not allow consumers to have unnecessary doubts.”
Sendai city councilor Yuuta Ito also commented that based on the voiceover in the video, although “the male voice in the video has not been confirmed to be a worker on-site at the factory,” this incident undoubtedly brought unease to the local community. To ensure food safety thoroughly, both governmental agencies and councilors need to take necessary actions.
