Anti-Japanese riots have been reported in China in response to a march on the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo by Japanese opposed to Chinese aggression, with mobs running riot the government apparently powerless to quell the disturbances.

The disturbances arose, apparently spontaneously and without the usual state involvement, in large part due to Internet circulated reports of a planned Japanese “siege” of the Chinese embassy – though in fact the protests were entirely peaceful.

Large mobs formed in several inland Chinese cities and in a number of cases began attacking businesses or property suspected of being connected to Japan, resulting in clashes with police attempting to maintain order.

Reportedly the authorities have begun cracking down in an effort to prevent any further “demonstrations,” with mixed success.

Japanese businesses, who have in Japan been vocally praising the government for its submission to China during the Senkaku affair in the hopes of maintaining their investments in China, are increasingly nervous – one major electronics manufacturer was quoted as understatedly saying “There is a certain amount of risk in conducting business in China in terms of politics and diplomacy.”

With mobs freely attacking police and private property, it appears public anger is boiling over – though whether such discontent is really the result of a few insignificant islands and a grudge against a distant neighbour is an object of some doubt; many now suspect the mobs are merely venting pent up fury at their own pathetic condition at a conveniently presented scapegoat.

The 2ch reaction is instructive:

Great, now just make that into an anti-government demo!

The police there are so weak…

Tanks, to the front!

So, just when will they turn on the Communist Party itself…

Seems they have nothing better to be doing.

With the reds unable to control the demonstrations they manufacture, it looks like the beginning of the end.

Japan is surely just an excuse – this kind of anger must have built up from day-to-day life.

Is this really an anti-Japanese demo?

Why are they attacking police if it’s an anti-Japanese demo? Chinese are seriously incapable of reason.

They must hate the police quite a bit already.

They just wanted an excuse to smash a cop car.

Let’s hope this turns into another civil war.

A government about to be destroyed by the very demonstrations it organised…

What a bunch of idiots. It’s supposed to be an anti-Japanese demo and they start killing their own countrymen.

This was all based solely on Internet reports of the embassy demo in Japan… who needs mass media.

Signs of a civil war? China always collapses in on itself.

This may be anti-Japanese, but if the government doesn’t do anything to Japan, the Party itself could find itself at the point of the spear… hopefully China will destroy itself like that if the riots continue.

Our media calls this a “demo” but in reality this is “riots and looting.”

What a bunch of savages.

The Communist Party can’t control the people any more.

A nation of incompetent beggars run by an incompetent dictatorship.

Get the tanks out there to roll over these people so the international media has something to start on again.

It looks as though spreading a bit of false information through the Chinese populace could incite a major uprising…

This is supposed to be an anti-Japanese demo, so why are they entertaining us so?

As expected, the Chinese know who their real enemy is.

It’s only a matter of time before these “anti-Japanese” riots become “anti-government” riots.

    Wait. Correct me if I'm wrong but you're telling me that they are attacking their own fellow citizens, their own police force and other Chinese people that is thought to have connection with the Japanese? In other words they are attacking Chinese people from their very own country? Um.. Does this make any sense at all? Chinese people attack Chinese people? To what fucked up level have they degrade themselves into?

    Lol,civil war?

    Of course the government would launch a foreign war to transfer domestic public attention and avoid the civil war.
    So the question is which unlucky country will be declared?
    Wake up you poor otakus, this world is not so perfect as you think.
    China's government is the most evil thing on this earth, but all you could do is just criticizing it.

    I think what the rioters are hoping is that they can use violence to blackmail their government into annexing and ethnically cleansing Japan.
    Yes, they're damaging their own country and economy. But it's their government's country and economy too.

    I'm not surprised this is happening. The Chinese government has been provoking their own citizens to vent their anger at the Japanese since the beginning of this whole issue. First off they made the unreasonable demand of releasing the captain even though it's highly possible the captain attacked first, then they kidnapped 4 Japanese hostages and declared them as spies, and finally declaring that captain as a hero in order to use him as a figurehead in their anger towards the Japanese.

    All of these combined with their constant demands for the islands are bound to push their own citizens over a boiling point. If the Chinese government really didn't expect their own citizens to start a riot about this, then they're really unprepared for anything.

    Highly possible the captain attacked first? I'm quite disappointed that people like you exist in this world, who believe an unprovoked fishing boat captain would instigate a self-destructive attack on a military vessel. Is it possible? Yes. But HIGHLY POSSIBLE? Your bias is blatant.

    So, he just went there on his own? independently?, with no thought for who is watching, owning or fueling his boat?

    the chinese ppl hate their police cos the police in china is like money whore... they are easily corrupted, and do many things for money.

    As a chinese person myself i do not approve of what those guys are doing. but im still very proud of being a chinese guy. those guys up there are putting me down, but still i accept their flaws, its what they were taught, its what i was taught. Its a matter of choosing to believe it or not.

    you guys are the same as those brainwashed chinese people up there.

    Im sorry, but it's the truth

    u're taught/brainwashed by the media, and peer pressure by the people around you. you're not thinking for yourselves
    clever use of words in an article is the same as propaganda posters in china
