An unemployed man who called Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe "daddy" and China's Taiwan province a "country" on social media was detained by police in Ma'anshan, a city in East China's Anhui province, on Thursday night.

The 18-year-old man, surnamed Yang and a Ma'anshan resident, posted the remarks in the comments section of the Sina Weibo account of the police in Mianyang, Sichuan province, Ma'anshan police said in a statement released on Friday.

Yang had been warned by police before about making "improper" comments online in April, they said, but he had shown no remorse and had posted the recent comments on the Mianyang police Sina Weibo account multiple times this month.

The Ma'anshan police said Yang, suspected of committing the crime of causing a disturbance, had been detained for questioning. They reminded people to abide by the law and never harm the nation's dignity.
