under… cover? The incident, which was highlighted by Mirror Media, sparked backlash online. Chinese nationals felt it was unpatriotic to hide the country’s name, while netizens elsewhere did not want their passports used seemingly as a form of subterfuge. According to ETtoday, the Chinese netizen said he was using the cover when travelling to Japan to avoid any unpleasant encounters. Tensions between Japan and China have been strained recently following comments by Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi about the Taiwan Strait and China’s strong response, which included advising its citizens against travelling to Japan. #fyp #news
