Chinese take to the streets in protest

PROTESTS took place in several Chinese cities yesterday to oppose Japan's "purchase" of the Diaoyu Islands.

More than 10 protesters gathered outside the Japanese Embassy in Beijing in the morning, holding placards reading: "The Diaoyu Islands are Chinese territory."

In Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, several people shouted slogans such as "Protect the Diaoyu Islands" outside the Japanese consulate.

About 200 people in eastern Shandong Province's Weihai took to the streets at around 10:40am, waving anti-Japanese banners and chanting slogans such as: "The Diaoyu Islands belong to us" and "Boycott Japanese goods." They dispersed at about 11:30am.
