Japan-China trade center receives knife threat
(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-05-19 13:58 The Tokai Japan-China Trade Center in Nagoya
received an envelope containing a 7-centimeter knife and a message opposing the
planned establishment of a Chinese consulate general in the city, police said
Wednesday.
The apparent threat mail postmarked May 3 and bearing no sender's name was
received prior to the center's 50th anniversary ceremony Wednesday to be
attended by Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi.
The center, which promotes bilateral trade between Japan and China, has been
working toward opening a fifth Chinese consulate general in Japan, following
ones in Sapporo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagasaki.
It has received phone calls and e-mails opposing an opening of a consulate
general in Nagoya since March, leading the police to investigate if the envelope
containing the knife is connected to the recent events.
Wu Yi arrived in Nagoya on Tuesday to take part in China's National Day
events at the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi Prefecture. She is also scheduled
to meet with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi before flying back to China next
