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

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.
