A popular Japanese anime series, "Detective Conan" is facing increasing criticism in China. The criticism centers around issues related to the content of the series which some believe could negatively impact the nation's young viewers. No specific instances or timing are given in the headline, but controversy over animated content is not uncommon.

Anime is a big part of Japan's cultural exports and "Detective Conan" is enormously popular both domestically and internationally. Japanese society generally values the freedom of expression in arts and is often less inclined towards censoring the depiction of violence than China. This news can be a potential concern affecting not only the anime industry, but also Japan's relationships with other countries.

In regions like the US and EU, animation is also a significant industry, with national and international influence. They often deal with similar content-related issues, though the reaction largely depends on the specific culture and societal values of the region. However, open criticism like this is less common because of more liberal views towards the depiction of violence in media.
