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

Foreign nationals are often mentioned in these types of scenarios since prosecuting them can occasionally become an international affair depending on what the relationship between the two countries is like.

Except Americans, they can go to suicide forests to make videos there or even rape underage children and the Japanese wouldn't care because Japan is America's 51st state.

Okinawans are Japanese citizens but the main landers don't consider them truly Japanese, allegedly. They were suppose to gain independence after ww2 but the US let Japan keep it in exchange for building military bases on it.
