This thing at Moscow State University is blowing up in China and I think people on X should know about this too. So basically a Chinese international student in Moscow State University named Chen Yuxin, a third-year history major, reportedly wore the Rising Sun Flag in an Asian-African history class on Oct 14. He also put an old Imperial Japanese Army cap on his desk. When Chinese classmates confronted him, he refused to stop and reportedly cursed them in Japanese. Oh shockingly , he is from Nanjing. Oct 15 the video spreads in China. Massive backlash. He posts an apology but wears sunglasses and a mask the whole time. Says he was “showing historical knowledge” and “trying to impress the teacher.” Nobody buys it. Oct 17 he posts a second apology, face visible, bowing. Chinese people still reject it because people think “he’s not sorry, he’s just scared of the consequences”. Later more of his past words and behavior get exposed, turns out he’s a imperial Japanese army fan and this wasn’t a one-time mistake. Oct 18 Chinese students in the history department circulate a joint petition with signatures and fingerprints. They formally submit it to the department. They refuse to accept his apology and demand a full investigation and severe punishment for displaying militarist symbols violates Russian law, damages academic ethics, harms the university’s reputation. There are rumors that deportation proceedings have started but the university has not officially confirmed that. So why he does that? I need to introduce the Chinese term for this group is “精日” (jīngrì) first. It does not mean”Japan lover” “likes Japanese anime, sushi, technology, or pop culture.” 精日 means a Chinese person who spiritually identifies with Imperial Japan and the Japanese right wing, worships Japan while despising the Chinese nation, and whitewashes Japan’s warcrime and atrocious during invasion history. In 2018 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was asked about his opinion on Jing Ri at a press conference. His answer was very simple : “The scum of the Chinese nation.” Their reputation on the Chinese internet is not “debated.” The common phrase is “人人喊打,” which basically means everyone wants to beat them up. This is not hyperbole. Public cases include dressing in replica Imperial Japanese Army uniforms to pose at Chinese war memorials, including the Sihang Warehouse. Cyberbullying and doxxing a Chinese middle-school student who donated evidence of Japanese war crimes. Using “cosplay” and “military hobby” as cover to glorify invasion history. Promoting Japanese right-wing historical revisionism in universities under the label of “academic discussion.” Most Chinese people make a clear distinction: remember the history, but don’t hate ordinary Japanese people today. 精日 do the opposite. They stand on the side of the invaders and treat national trauma as performance material. That’s why they are seen as people who cross a line, not “people with different opinions.”
