These are four simulation scenarios based on the assumption that Chinese people are distributing automatic rifles throughout Japan.

Scenario 1: Urban Chaos

Background: In the busy downtown areas of major cities like Tokyo and Osaka (e.g., Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shinsaibashi), multiple individuals abandon automatic rifles in public spaces. The weapons are concealed in bags or trash cans, and their discovery triggers widespread panic.

• Developments:

  1. First Few Hours: News of the discovered guns spreads rapidly on social media, causing panic among citizens. The police immediately seal off the areas and begin an investigation.

  2. Government Response: The National Public Safety Commission holds an emergency meeting. The possibility of a terrorist attack is considered, and the deployment of the Self-Defense Forces is discussed.

  3. Social Impact: Public transportation is halted and commercial activities are paralyzed. Mistrust of foreigners grows, with an increase in prejudice, particularly against people of Asian descent.

  4. International Reactions: The Chinese government denies any involvement, leading to diplomatic friction with Japan. The international community focuses on Japan's ability to manage public security.

• Conclusion: The perpetrator group is identified as part of an international criminal organization. Discussions begin on strengthening gun control and increasing surveillance cameras in Japan.

Scenario 2: Rural Subversion
