Japanese have been shocked to learn that even their own ambassador to China is no longer safe, after his car was attacked in broad daylight and had its flag stolen.
According to the Japanese embassy in Beijing, a Chinese man “attacked” the ambassador’s official car as he travelled in it one afternoon, tearing off its flag and making off with it, leaving the poor car with a bent flagpole.
The attack may have been carefully planned – the man leapt from a car and grabbed the flag when the ambassador’s car was stopped at an intersection with its only avenue of escape obstructed by two other vehicles.
The ambassador and his staff were unharmed, although it transpired he normally travels without any escort and so could presumably have been at some risk.
Japan has lodged a protest with the Chinese government about the matter, and said it will try to avoid having it happen again.
China’s foreign ministry has called the attack “regrettable” and emphasised that it will investigate the incident and guarantees the safety of Japanese residents and enterprises in China (although last time there was any suggestion the islands belonged to Japan it did arrest a few random Japanese for “spying” and threaten to execute them).
Meanwhile, Japan is still insisting it is illegal for its own citizens to set foot on the islands, having just sent Tokyo governor and China hater Shintaro Ishihara notice that it will not allow landings as they “would disturb the tranquillity of the islands,” although it seems unlikely this will stop him.
The aftermath of a group of Chinese nationalists making an illegal landing on the Senkaku islands which neither Hong Kong nor Japanese authorities bothered to stop has seen anti-Japanese mobs riot across a number of Chinese cities, in which “Japanese” property was destroyed and police were attacked:

LOL Chinese being idiots again.
lol at the last picture.. anti-japan but using japanese camera..
he knows that if he were to use a chinese camera his life will be in danger due to explosives...
You got it wrong. That's not Canon. it's just because of the bur, it's actually Canen where the letter "e" resemble "o".
Guess we know what he'll throw against the Chinese police.
Just use a Cannon to get rid of this shenanigans.
Yeah...pretty much anything Chinese.
i guess those guys will probably reason with the camera is made in china
LOL
i guess those guys will probably reason u with the camera is made in china
LOL
just for fun dun blame me
They need to keep that feature to preserve their dignity as the first country that invented gunpowder
at the end chinese keep dubbing anime >.>
To the guy in the pic hitting the car with a bar: "Cool story, bro. You think you're so strong? You're so cool destroying a car, idiot."
he played Street Fighter way too much ...
Yes This looks very childish
Obviously you guys have no idea where most of these cameras are made.
where they're cheap
doesn't change the fact that the tech isn't japanese, its japan's brand but camera technology doesn't come from japan.
silly japanese trying to claim their technology.
Actually the tech is Japanese, but it's manufactured in China :)

the guy who didn't realize we weren't talking about the one inventing camera but the country manufacturing it .
Cameras are not original Japanese tech.
In fact,I have a canon EOS camera and it says the body was made in japan on the box,I'm a Chinese and I think he would get this too.
I said this before and I'll say it again... "Fuck China."
The Japs already did that in the old wars with China. You know, the ones where they attacked and captured Chinese civilians and ate their flesh for food.
You know how I know that's a lie? Because chinks are nasty. The principle of garbage in, garbage out applies.
You weren't alive when that happened, were you?!
At least you acknowledge it happened...
LOL china will soon fall on its own weight.
Don't fuck her you might get blown before the session is over.
And perhaps later someone will fish your penis and claim it as Divine Mushroom.
Mine IS a Divine Mushroom. Now worship it.
U don't have the tool u need to fuck ,do u ?
Ugh, stupid Chinese... That's why no one likes them.
You sound pretty stupid yourself. Does that mean no one likes you?
Lets face it if any of us was liked we would not be here :P
Oh my god!
Somebody attacked the diplomat by taking his flag from the car. Now the diplomat has a severe ptsd and is unable to work.
This means there are people out there who want to kill him! "He's no longer safe."
You should try this with your country leader's car, maybe you'll get it
What a terrible country china is.
right, get off sankaku and see the world neck beard.
right i wonder how people can just throw their opinions based on some news when themselves they don't do crap (i'm including myself and i feel bad, too lazy to do anything that might make the world better)indeed we should go outside but i think that because of our nature most of people will just watch the world burn (including myself again).
I've actually been to the mainland... and I can tell you this, It's a total shithole.
China is massive, which part of mainland u been to? Gone to major cities in China? Or maybe the higher class areas.
lol someone lost his job to china here.
Hey maybe they'll start massacring Japanese people in China. Then Japan will actually have something to fall back on when they try to play the victim like they always do.
Japan can't do anything that's the thing.
When push comes to shove Japan is a chew toy that America, China and Russia all way to play with.
chinks and rooskies can't even feed their own populations properly, much less have the brains to play with other countries.
You're an idiot. The gooks are the ones constantly bitching and whining about being the victims.
Did any of you even READ the first half? And realize how ridiculous Japanese news is blowing up the "attack". Dude just walked up and swiped a flag and they called it an "attack".
No, you just skip and see some pictures and throw some anti-china crap. Idiots.
In the PRC it's called flag and culture envy.
PRC is a nation of frustrated closet weeabo's.
They so want to have Japans technology and artistic talent.
It's good to want things.
Too bad every time they try they fail and the world laughs.
Poor Japan, their economy, technology, culture, and population all declining. And it's all China's fault.
China is clearly envious of its weaker and declining neighbor.
And the reason they're the 2nd strongest nation in the world, on the way to 1st, is because they fail.
Japan, which will die out in 200 years with current population trends, definitely does not fail, and is therefore the object of envy for all failures.
Strongest? Are you high?
Nah, I think they just hate fucking Japan like the rest of Asia does for the shit they pulled in the past. It has nothing to do with being jealous.
Oh it has EVERYTHING to do with jealously. Jealously is part of the reason why china loathes Japan along with what happened during the war.
It's politics; it almost never 'makes sense'...
Did you read the second half? And realize how ridiculous you are downplaying the "attack". Dudes and dudesses rioted through cities and destroyed Japanese property and called it an "attack", which it is.
No, you just skip and see the first few lines and throw some pro-riot crap. Idiot.
You make me laugh, guys, because you thing it's ok when japan is the aggressor, but you whine, cry, and curse when japan is the victim.
so are you one of those twitter-ers who wrote Japan deserved to lose against America in the Olympics, because of Pearl Harbor, and justify nuking people?
Give it up, you're not going to get any Japanese women to sleep with you for white knighting
sure is pro-china in here....
You make me laugh, guys, because you thing it's ok when china is the aggressor, but you whine, cry, and curse when china is the victim.
How are you gonna defend yourself against this?
You've never seen me being ok with Japan being the aggressor and I've never seen you whining when China is the victim.
What I'm saying is our comments have the same amount of truth and assumption, so you should be ok with my comment because I'm doing the exact same thing as you are.
If you're not, call yourself an asshole first.
The idea was that both realms are valid and both countries and blowing shit out of proportion. And that both are idiots sometimes. It is funny how China's response to the attack was the same way Japan tends to detract issues.
@05:45 That's because this site is usually overrun with Chinese'.
Did you read the second half? I mean did you really read it?
Where does it say the ambassador's car was attacked during any riot?
The first half and second half of the article are not talking about the same incident.
So you in effect proved the guys point.
The article was about the flag, the riot business was in reality not the same subject.
It's very bad if some average moron gets that close to an ambassadors car, "attacks" it and still manages to excape. He could've thrown a molotov or a grenade while he was at it... The fact that he got that close and got away makes it a big thing.
It's kinda the same thing if someone managed to throw a shoe at a president... Oh right, that happened happened too.
It's an ambassador, not the Holy Emperor. If every one of these replaceable cog in the machine here in NY gets to shut down streets when they're going somewhere, we'll be having holidays every time the UN meets.
Yes, there is traffic on streets. No, you don't get to stop & frisk random motorists in China, or most parts of the world during peacetime. Exception being US, but only if you're driving while black.
I'm seeing racist assholes destroying stuff that doesn't belong to them. People like that should just go die and do the world a favor. Who cares what country they're from?
Racists are the same all over the world. Just buck-toothed excuses for an excrement that fell out of someone's rectum. If they won't die off, we should at least make laws to have them wear paper bags over their heads so normal people won't have to vomit when they accidentally look at those bug-eyed, monobrowed things they call faces. They disgrace the rest of humanity with their existence about as evolved as the lowest single-celled life-form. God must've had a very bad day not calling Armageddon when the first one mutated into existence.
Amen, brother.
Took the words right outta my mouth...
