An ambitious proposal to turn a century-old shopping arcade in Nishinari Ward of Osaka, Japan, into a Chinatown by 2025 isn’t being welcomed with open arms by Japanese shop owners.

2025年前將日本大阪市西成區一條有百年歷史的商店街,改造為中華街的遠大提案,並未受到當地日本商家熱烈歡迎。

 

The proposal, announced by a group of Chinese business people on Feb. 15, envisions 120 shops, many of them restaurants that serve dishes from various provinces of China, and four traditional Chinese gates.

這個由一群中國商人在215日公布的提案,展望(未來的大阪中華街)有120家商店,其中許多是提供中國各省佳餚的餐館,還有4座傳統中式牌樓。

 

But many shop operators along the covered shopping street don’t have an appetite for such a change.

然而,許多在這條商店街上開業的店主,對此改變並不感興趣。

 

Satoshi Shiraki, 62, who runs a pawnshop, said he was surprised to find that the plan for building a Chinatown was moving faster than he had expected.

62歲的當舖老闆白木聰說,他很驚訝地發現,打造中華街計畫的推展速度比他預期的更快。

 

"Nishinari is different from Yokohama and Kobe where a large number of overseas Chinese have lived for many years," he said of the two cities, which have Chinatowns. "The Chinatown project will meet with opposition if it is pushed in a heavy-handed manner."

「西成區和有大量定居多年的華僑的橫濱與神戶不一樣」,白木聰如此描述這兩座有中華街的城市。「若強行推動中華街計畫,將會遭遇反彈。」
