 It&#8217;s &#8220;hell to go, but hell to come back&#8221; &#8212; or so it seems.

 The February 27 issue of Shukan Post (Weekly Post) reported that Ruriko Kojima, a TV personality, postponed her planned study abroad program in China at the end of February, citing concerns about the &#8220;Taiwan contingency.
 When Japan strengthened its border control measures against Chinese nationals, China stopped issuing visas to Japanese nationals as a retaliatory measure. The Chinese apparently felt that &#8220;the worsening of Japan-China relations may have had an impact.&#8221;
 There has been a series of &#8220;China vs. China&#8221; news stories, including a balloon believed to have belonged to China flying over Japanese airspace. According to the article, Kojima&#8217;s office is considering enrollment after September.
 The article states that Kojima&#8217;s office is considering enrollment in September or later. There is no doubt that China is contemplating a Taiwan contingency. If that were to happen, both Japan and the U.S. would be in full-scale hostilities with China. At such a time, Japanese celebrities studying in China could be taken advantage of and put at risk.
 Depending on what they say in the media, they may be treated as &#8220;spies&#8221; and detained. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, criticized the Chinese authorities and went &#8220;missing&#8221; for several months. He now appears to have left China. The Communist dictatorship is a &#8220;law unto itself. If they wanted to, they could do whatever they wanted.

 Speaking of Kojima, in 2008 she was found to be dating Yasuhisa Hara, the author of the manga &#8220;Kingdom. When they later broke up, he said.
 When they broke up, she said on the radio, &#8220;I really feel like I wasted two years of my life.
 He said on the radio, &#8220;I really feel like I wasted two years of my life. Her &#8220;open and honest&#8221; character has often been the topic of conversation.
 Perhaps she has given up on Japan after her breakup with Mr. Hara. She is already fluent in Chinese, and she will be popular if she goes there. Table tennis player Ai Fukuhara is also very popular there. In Japan, her popularity has declined considerably due to reports of her infidelity&#8230;&#8221; (Sports newspaper reporter)
 However, it seems that she has begun to feel the &#8220;China risk&#8221; and has decided to postpone her appearance in Japan. 
A look at social networking sites reveals the following
 &#8220;No, no, no, you knew that before you decided to study abroad, didn&#8217;t you? 
 If that&#8217;s the reason, I probably won&#8217;t be able to study abroad for the rest of my life.
 If that&#8217;s the reason, I probably won&#8217;t be able to do it forever,&#8221; were some of the cold opinions that stood out.
 Japan, where she has become uncomfortable because of her &#8220;frank statements,&#8221; and China, where she faces geopolitical risks. Which will she choose?
