The Asahi Shimbun reports that a group of drunken Chinese assholes attacked four Japanese businessmen and their Chinese colleague after first confirming their nationality.
The one-sided assault, which resulted in several injuries, occurred on Oct. 11 at a restaurant in the Bund tourist district of Shanghai, according to officials at the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai and other sources.
The Chinese colleague was taken to a hospital after being cut in the hand with a knife and hit in the head with a thrown bottle.
According to the sources, the incident started when the workers of a Japanese enterprise were dining at a table on the terrace and one of the inebriated Chinese approached and asked: “Are you Japanese?”
