TOKYO — A 10-year-old student at a Japanese school in China died Thursday after being stabbed on the way to school the day before, Japanese officials said, as they demanded that Beijing do more to protect Japanese nationals in the country. Lin said the boy was a Japanese national whose parents are Japanese and Chinese citizens. “Effective measures will continue to be taken to ensure the safety of foreigners in China, including people from Japan,” he said. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the student was stabbed on Wednesday about 220 yards away from the Shenzhen Japanese School in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. Flags at Japanese diplomatic missions in mainland China and Hong Kong were lowered on Thursday.

The boy was attacked by a man about 200 meters (650 feet) from the gates of the Japanese school in Shenzhen, a tech-hub metropolis home to many Japanese businesses, according to China’s foreign ministry. But Japanese nationality is required for enrollment at the Shenzhen Japanese School, according to its website. Following that attack, Japan’s foreign ministry told Japanese schools to review their safety measures, Kamikawa said. At a regular news conference Wednesday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said the case was being investigated. China’s foreign ministry has described both attacks as isolated incidents and did not release further information on the motives.
