woman, who is in her 30s and an international student living in Osaka's Hohana district

the woman was riding in an electric suitcase with a maximum speed of 13 km/h, so it was an electric bicycle (light motorcycle), and the rider required a driving licence, but the woman failed to show it, and was prosecuted

so this has absolutely fuck all to do with the fact that she's chinese

Japan's first strike! Chinese woman was prosecuted for riding an electric suitcase on the streets of Osaka

The title focuses on the fact that the woman was Chinese, instead of "a woman who doesn't have license".

Clearly a hit piece trying to drum up nationalism among Chinese.

The domain is also very suspicious as well, like it is intended to confuse users into thinking it is the LA Times.

If I'm not mistaken, a bunch of Japanese articles mention she's Chinese so it's kind of fair game.

It's one thing to mention she was a Chinese, and another to highlight it in the title of the article without any context.

It's very clear this article is meant portray her being a racially targeted prosecution to drum up anti-Japanese sentiment among Chinese. Disgusting, really.
