MORE than 40 Chinese yesterday staged a protest near the Japanese embassy in Beijing over the detention of a Chinese fishing boat.
The unofficial China Federation for Defending the Diaoyu Islands organized the half-hour protest. Witnesses said the protesters chanted the Chinese national anthem while holding up national flags and banners, two of which read "Japan out of Diaoyu Islands" "Diaoyu Islands are China's and so is the East China Sea."
Li Wen, a federation spokesman, blasted Japan's act as aggression and demanded the release of the fishing boat and crew members, an apology and compensation from the Japanese government. If the demands aren't met, the federation will organize Diaoyu Islands defenders to land on the islands during the National Day holiday, which runs through October 1 to October 7, Li said.
