UPDATE: Chinese protestors attack Shanghai Japanese Consulate, put up a Chinese flag:

Detailed video of Shanghai demonstrations (Japanese)

More pictures of the demonstration (With a nice Engrish wording of the Japanese reaction: “Holding the Beijing Olympics is impossible.”)

Saru, all bets are off: the protests went ahead on Saturday despite claims by the CCP that they would keep them in check. From Japan Today:

Thousands protest in China; Japan’s consulate, restaurants in Shanghai attacked

Thousands of Chinese marched on the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai on Saturday, hurling bottles and other objects as they accused Japan of distorting its aggression against China before and during World War II, and calling for a boycott of Japanese goods. Protesters vandalized three Japanese-themed restaurants before breaking at least nine windows at the consulate. They also broke the cash register at a “shabu-shabu” restaurant in Shanghai’s prime shopping district.

Unless they get out of hand, the protests don’t seem to mean much by themselves. I am interested to see what Japan’s reaction to all this will be.

      Agreed, can’t wait for the first news of Machimura’s visit to come out.

    2. praktike Says:

      Why would they attack a shabu-shabu place? Don’t they like delicious, fun meals?

      Praktike: I know, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

      These people are depraved. There’s no telling what they might lash out at…

    4. praktike Says:

      What’s next? Udon?

      they’ll probably lynch some hanfu(lunatics who want to reinstate traditional Chinese dress from Ming period) nuts. Hooray!

    6. Inst Says:

      if the reference isn’t opaque: Hanfu looks a lot like traditional Japanese dress: the latter was derived from the former. Chinese have forgotten the concept of taste, and probably won’t be capable of telling the difference. I’ve heard stories of Hanfu nuts getting spit on because ignorant Chinese think they’re wearing kimono.

      To Inst,
      there’s enough trouble with the world now…why make it worst by putting these statement on public? Do you enjoy war? Life is a mess already. Why can’t we bear love instead of hatre? We are all human beings afterall…forgive and forget dun you think its makes more sense?!

    8. Inst Says:

      One imagines a description of Graham Greene: that he had no hate in his heart except for the haters.
