The report further revealed that the Chinese webiste, Beijing Cream, "identified the shop as Beijing Snacks and noted that it was a ’bizarre example(s) of unhealthy nationalism’ in light of the territorial disputes among China and the three other countries." The report also pointed out: "China, the Philippines and Vietnam are embroiled in a territorial dispute about the West Philippine Sea, while Japan is contesting ownership of islands in the East China Sea."
