SOME 126 Chinese trainees are out of contact in Japan's quake-hit regions, the China International Contractors Association said yesterday.
They were working in affected regions, including Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, said Zhang Xiang, a spokesperson for the association which comes under the Ministry of Commerce.
Most come from Beijing and Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.
A total of 22,497 Chinese trainees were confirmed to be in Japan's quake-stricken areas and the association has managed to contact the vast majority, said Zhang.
The association will continue trying to contact the remaining 126 trainees with the help of Japanese agencies and China's representative offices in Japan, said Diao Chunhe, head of the association.
Japan is a major destination for Chinese trainees. Latest figures from the association show that there are 171,800 Chinese trainees in Japan.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo said yesterday that one Chinese national died in Japan following last Friday's earthquake.
The Chinese victim died in Ishinomaki City in Miyagi Prefecture, when the quake-triggered tsunami hit the area, according to the embassy.
Detailed information has not released at the request of the bereaved family.
China yesterday continued to withdraw its nationals from the quake-hit areas.
More than 3,000 Chinese nationals have been evacuated from the worst-hit areas following last week's massive earthquake and tsunami in northeast Japan, Chinese diplomats said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a notice on Tuesday, advising Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to Japan's quake-hit areas for the time being, while stressing that the ministry, the Chinese Embassy and consulates in Japan will do everything possible to help those Chinese nationals in the disaster-hit areas leave in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, China's Ministry of Public Security has urged police departments across the country to assist the Chinese Embassy and consulates in Japan to confirm the identities of Chinese citizens there. According to the ministry, some Chinese citizens in Japan have lost their travel documents following last week's earthquake, making it difficult for them to stay or even return home.
