China has issued a travel warning against Japan, for its citizens. The decision comes in the wake of a group of Chinese tourists being attacked on Fukuoka. According to a report in TourExpi, ten cars filled with Japanese citizens attacked a bus carrying the tourists.

The Chinese National Tourism Administration has issued a warning which states: “Chinese tourists and tour groups currently in Japan, or planning to go to Japan, should watch their travel safety.”

Relations between the two countries have deteriorated following an argument over the Diaoyu islands, over which both claim sovereignty. Tourism has greatly suffered, with Japan Airlines claiming than more than 1,000 people cancelled flights between the two countries recently.
