The anti-Japan demonstrations are not going away at anytime soon. I believe that the PRC is heavily involved in organizing the demonstrators. In addition, I believe one if not several of the Chinese internet portals are also actively involved in supporting the demonstrators - if not actively encouraging them. Read about my suspicions in earlier blogs.
If the PRC does not want Japanese companies to operate in the country, they should just come right out and say it. Stop this 'pretending' and let to the world that the PRC is actively engaged in halting capitalism. First, the PRC will kick out the Japanese. Next, they will kick out the USA. And finally, they will kick out the Europeans. Yup. I can see it now.
Here is an article from a Japanese newspaper (in full).

TOKYO (Kyodo)--Japanese supermarket chain operator Aeon Co. (8267) temporarily suspended operations Sunday at two of its Jusco outlets in Shenzen and Zhuhai in southeastern China as protesters continued to take to the streets in anti-Japan demonstrations across China, company officials said. It was the third consecutive weekend that Aeon has temporarily shut down its stores in China, although operations are expected to resume Monday. With a growing number of other Japanese businesses also being affected, analysts said the recent developments may prompt Japanese firms to reconsider their strategies in China. In addition, Aeon covered up Jusco shop signs Sunday at some of its stores in Shenzhen and Guangzhou in response to requests by Chinese police authorities, the officials said. Meanwhile, Japanese convenience store operator Lawson Inc. (2651) said three of its stores in Shanghai were damaged by vandalism as protesters marched en masse Saturday, including shop windows being broken. All three stores resumed operations by Sunday noon. Also on Saturday, Yoshinoya D&C Co. (9861), a Japanese restaurant chain operator known for its ''gyudon'' beef-on-rice dishes, temporarily closed its shops in Beijing and one facing the People's Square in Shanghai where the demonstration took place. Operations returned to normal Sunday. Thousands of Chinese held another wave of anti-Japan rallies Sunday, accusing Japan of downplaying its wartime aggression and opposing Tokyo's bid for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council. |

This month will be marked in history as the start of the new Asian Cold War. Let the nuke-building begin. I wonder how many nukes Japan can build this year?
The CCP is losing control over the country. I wonder how long it will take for the young nationalists to turn their anger at the CCP and oust them out on their asses? Who is going to run the country once the CCP are out? Is there a small group of political activists ready to seize control over the country?
