Ekin Cheng’s Tokyo concert abruptly cancelled amid rising China-Japan tensions

Hong Kong superstar Ekin Cheng Yee-kin has been forced to scrap his long-awaited solo concert scheduled for next Friday, December 5, at a major Tokyo venue, with organizers citing an event outside of their control as the reason.

The sudden announcement, posted on the event’s social media on Tuesday, comes against a backdrop of escalating diplomatic friction between China and Japan.

Organizers are working on refund arrangements and promised full details will be posted on the official website and ticketing platforms once finalized.
