The Chinese communist regime said on March 24 that an individual claiming to be an active-duty member of the Japan Self-Defense Force forcefully entered the Chinese Embassy in Japan earlier that day.

“The individual threatened to kill the Chinese diplomatic personnel in the so-called name of God,” the Chinese Embassy in Japan said in a statement on its website.
