Japanese Badminton Star Chiharu Shida Urges Chinese Fans to End Stalking

Shida, competing at the Asia Championships in Ningbo, warns of further action as stalking persists after 18 months of distress.

Chiharu Shida, an Olympic bronze medalist, has publicly called on some Chinese fans to stop stalking her during competitions.
The stalking behavior, which has lasted for a year and a half, has caused Shida significant fear and discomfort, particularly during events in China.
Shida, currently competing at the Asia Championships in Ningbo, expressed her concerns in a social media post written in Chinese.
She warned that if the harassment continues, she would consider taking further measures to address the issue.
Chinese authorities have been implementing measures to curb extreme fandom, including shutting down online accounts and removing harmful posts to protect public figures.
