Anewz

Chinese authorities are probing the deaths of two Japanese nationals in Dalian, reportedly linked to a business conflict with their Chinese associate.

China’s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that two Japanese men found dead in the northeastern city of Dalian last month were business partners of a Chinese suspect now in custody.

In a statement released the same day, Dalian police said a 42-year-old male suspect, a Chinese national who had lived in Japan for many years, has been arrested. Authorities stated that the two Japanese victims had temporarily entered China and were engaged in business dealings with the suspect.

Police indicated that a dispute related to business matters led to the incident, but did not provide further details on the nature of the conflict.

Japanese news agency Kyodo News reported earlier on Tuesday, citing the Japanese embassy in China, that Chinese police had informed Japan’s consulate in Shenyang of the killings on May 25.

The investigation is ongoing, with both Chinese and Japanese authorities monitoring the developments closely.
