   ACG events are halted, Chinese otaku anguish.

   Due to the current political situation surrounding Senkaku Island/Diao Yu Island, tensions between China and Japan are at an all time high. Due to this, many Japanese artists have cancelled their performances in China. Chinese otaku lament online, risking the great firewall. Their Japanese counter parts can only be sympathetic and say "Well if anyone's to blame, blame your government!"

   The first victim of this is the huge Japanese idol group SMAP. SMAP was scheduled to appear at Shanghai's World Expo in June, but after that was cancelled they were set for an October concert. Following the tragic "Boat Crash incident", their concert is now indefinitely delayed.
   An Anisong concert scheduled from the 4th of October till the 6th at Shanghai's World Expo was also cancelled. The artists were notified on the 28th of September to "Take Caution", while actually suggesting "It'll be best if you don't come". The Japanese events coordinator decided it would be safest for both the audience and the artists to cancel the event.

   Animelo's first overseas live in Shanghai that was supposed to be for November this year is also cancelled. This was going to be a big first step for both China and Japan's anime industry. Other affected artists include JAM PROJECT and 下川みくに (of FMP! fame).

   Some Chinese otaku complain online that to see the concerts in Shanghai that were during the national holiday, they splurged on expensive Golden Week tickets that are now useless. Others lament the effort that they went into obtaining front row tickets for JAM PROJECT are now in vain.

   These articles when translated and posted on the popular Japanese image board site, 2 chan, ignited many sympathetic responses. But a few reply with "Your government's the one to blame!

   To this, I say:

   Really, WTF does territorial disputes have to do with anime conventions? There's no reason they have to pull out other than they're being dorks.

   I see what you did thar.

   I think it's because they're afraid of stupid anti-japanese people storming the event. It's very likely, and the way such situations are dealt with in China, people will die. Or at least get seriously injured.

   Well 2ch does have a history of having Japanese pricks on their site. I also hate the fact when a certain group ruins something for the rest of the people. If things continue the way they are going Chinese Otaku may have to move out of china or be ready to live without Japanese products.

   I don't get your logic here, plus there are SOOOO many gorgeous Chinese cosplayers we'd have to go through a holocaust (and I'd have to survive) before that happens.

   True true, I just hope this one passes quickly.

    Just because they butt heads every decade or so doesn't mean the outcome every time will be the same. Who knows this actually may be the final straw although most of hope it's not.

    Considering how Comic-con/Animefest in NYC was handle seeing a Booth of a Chinese Animation Studio I think some Japanese companys wanted to stay away from that Booth.

    I think they're also worried about being abducted, held hostage by the Chinese government, and threatened with execution. Y'know, like the four tourists when the incident first started to pick up steam.

    Who would've thought that alienating and bullying your neighbours could have drawbacks?

    They're moving too fast. If they let all the bad PR build up at once like this, they won't be able to get away with as much. I really hope North America can manage to get its own supply chain for this stuff off the ground quickly.

    I think it will backfire on them doing it this early. They should have waited another 10 years. They're rushing too much.

    In that case, I want you to write an article about some top Chinese cosplayers and post it here on SanCom. Do it.
