南京の紫金山*1で撮影された、旧日本軍のコスプレをした2人組の中国人男性の写真がネットに出回り、騒動となっている。また、南京大虐殺の記念館が非難声明を出すに至っている。
紫金山には明の太祖、朱元璋の陵、呉の孫権の墓、また孫中山の陵がある。
また、中国人の旧日本軍愛が表出された事件は今回が最初ではないという;
さて、記事には2枚の写真が添付されているのだが、そのうちの1枚はちょっと日本軍ぽくない。帝国陸軍はネクタイをしていなかったでしょ。
This is not the first time that Chinese citizens have acted against the country’s political norms.In August, four young men posed in Japanese military uniform against the backdrop of the Continental Bank Warehouse, where Chinese troops defeated an invading Japanese force in a week-long battle in 1937*2. Three of them were detained in Shanghai weeks later, after authorities tracked them down despite a lack of surveillance cameras in the area*3.
The same month, two other men were also detained in Guangxi’s Binyang county for disturbing public order after they posed in Japanese second world war military uniforms outside a railway station*4.
また、この記事では、昨年8月に独逸伯林の国会議事堂前で中国人観光客がナチス式敬礼をやって独逸警察当局に逮捕された事件が言及されている*5。
