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
