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.

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.
