Could be the Chinese getting revenge years down the line for what his grandfather did to China.
Some believe that the 1995 sarin attack on the Tokyo subway by the cult Aum Shinrikyo was, in fact, orchestrated by the militarist wing of the Liberal Democratic Party, with Shinzo Abe as a key figure. The attack was the culmination of three generations of militarist plotting, dating back to the chemical weapons research of Unit 731 overseen by Abe’s grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi.
So Nobusuke Kishi was, to make a long story short (listen to the BtB episodes on him, don't know the numbers but they were in September/October of 2021) one of the higher-ups in both WWII-era Japan and postwar Japan. He was instrumental in getting the Liberal Democratic Party, the party that's been in control of Japan since the 50s (with like four years where they weren't in power) to where they are today. He's responsible for many, many war crimes.
His maternal grandfather Nobusuke Kishi was de facto "economic king" of occupied China and Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state in Northern China, in the lead-up to World War II, and during the war, had served as Vice Minister of Munitions in the cabinet of Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō. At the end of the war, Kishi was imprisoned in Sugamo Prison as a suspected "Class-A" war criminal by the US military occupation of Japan, but was released and later de-purged as part of the Occupation's "reverse course." In his book Utsukushii Kuni e (Toward a Beautiful Country), Abe wrote: "Some people used to point to my grandfather as a 'Class-A war criminal suspect,' and I felt strong repulsion. Because of that experience, I may have become emotionally attached to 'conservatism,' on the contrary". Kishi went on to help found the Liberal Democratic Party in 1955, and served as Prime Minister of Japan from 1957 to 1960.
The ability to do that is terribly limited. The degree of freedom we have here amazes the citizens of China, who cannot travel from one city to another without registering with police.
Well, they're not allowed to go to other areas either, including the cities, without getting government permission. I was told that a car's registration is limited to your district, and can be more expensive than the car itself.

His grandfather was the economic manager in Manchukuo. The infamous unit731 biological experiments on the Chinese took place there during this time .
Or, maybe the DS did it to blame Putin and get the US involved in the war

I can’t stand cities. I hope at least rural China is a little more based/free than cities
