In a video reportedly filmed on August 10, a policeman accuses a young Chinese woman wearing a kimono, a traditional Japanese outfit, of "causing trouble" before arresting her. The scene, which has gone viral online since August 14, is the subject of debate on Chinese social networks, 77 years after Japan's surrender in World War II.
The controversy that has been stirring up Chinese social networks for the past few days surrounds a cosplayer, a person who dresses as a Japanese manga and anime character. The cosplayer shared a video on her Weibo account, the equivalent of Twitter in China, in which a police officer reproaches her for wearing a Japanese kimono.
