In the quarterfinals of the women's 70kg judo event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, a Chinese athlete bit a Japanese athlete on the arm, resulting in a foul loss.

The controversial match, held on the 1st, was between Japan's Rin Maeda and China's Tang Jing. During a groundwork struggle with both athletes on the mat, Tang bit Maeda's left arm. After "matte" (stop) was called, Maeda appealed to the referee, indicating she had been bitten. Clear teeth marks remained on Maeda's left arm.

Subsequently, the situation was confirmed by video, and Tang was disqualified for a foul. Tang protested with a confused expression, spreading her hands as if she didn't understand.

Prior to this, Chinese media had mocked a play in a Padel match where a Japanese player pushed a Hong Kong player, saying things like, "The 'Collision Tribe' has appeared not only in Japanese towns but also at competition venues." However, as of the morning of the 2nd, Chinese media had not reported on Tang's foul at all.

Nevertheless, some users on social media platforms such as Weibo and Xiaohongshu (RED) shared this information, leading to comments from Chinese netizens like "Shameful," "Laughed," "Too embarrassing, are you a beast?", "Unbelievable, at an international competition...", "Chinese people have the highest sportsmanship (sarcasm)," and "Even if you foul, to do it in such an obvious way that leaves evidence."

Additionally, comments such as "The (low) level of attention. Just as I thought...", "Why isn't this news (in China)?", "It's the lowest tactic. Why aren't the media covering it?", "You (the poster) are the only one posting about this domestically (in China). Overseas, it's a storm of ridicule," "Chinese media are all silent. This means everyone is embarrassed," "Chinese people can't see this series (not reporting their own country's shame)," and "If no one knows, it can be made to seem like it never happened" were posted.
