A 10-year-old Japanese student has died one day after he was stabbed near his school in southern China.

 

The boy, who was enrolled at the Shenzhen Japanese School, succumbed to his injuries early on Thursday, Japanese officials said.

 

His assailant, a 44-year-old man surnamed Zhong, was arrested on the spot, local police said.

 

The motive for the attack was not immediately known. But some observers have expressed concern that nationalist sentiment in China might be spilling into increasing violence against foreigners.

 

In June, a man targeted a Japanese mother and her child in the eastern city of Suzhou. That attack was also near a Japanese school and led to the death of a Chinese national who had tried to protect the mother and son.

 

Earlier in June, four American teachers were stabbed in the northern city of Jilin.

 

Beijing has described all of these attacks - including the one on Wednesday - as "isolated incidents". And on Wednesday, Mr Lin said China would continue "to protect the safety of all foreigners in the country".
