[41J guth meaty]Shinjuku Isetan Department Store is also targeted by Little Pink! This ad angers Chinese people for “discriminating and disrespecting your culture” – Mirror Media

According to Japan’s “FNN” report, it was previously found that many Chinese were using the steps as chairs to sit on the stairs​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ‘resting, there were even people who were having a picnic, eating, and coming for all the drinks. Later, the Isetan Shinjuku store posted this notice on the stairs leading to the underground store, but it was written only in simplified Chinese: “Attention, please do not sit on the stairs! Be careful, please don’t sit on the stairs, and please don’t eat or drink here!”

This announcement later sparked a debate among Chinese netizens and angered many Chinese. Some Chinese netizens pointed out that the notice was only written in simplified Chinese, but not in foreign languages ​​such as English and Japanese Chinese netizens cursed: “This is obviously discrimination against the Chinese!” Another Chinese netizen said: “Japanese Disrespecting Chinese culture.”

But on the other hand, some Japanese netizens think that sitting on the stairs ​​​​like a chair is naturally “uneducated” and don’t know what “culture” the Chinese call it? In addition, some Japanese netizens said that it is because too many Chinese people sit like this that they only write ads in Chinese, and people from other countries just don’t do this.

However, the report pointed out that Isetan Mitsukoshi’s parent company said the notice was only written in Chinese, which broke internal company rules, and has now removed the notice.
