China & Japan: Still at War
Enraged over Japan’s bid to join the UN security council and a new textbook approved in Japan that minimizes atrocities comitted during the second world war, Chinese people took to the streets of Beijing to call “Japanese pig, come out” in front of the Ambassador’s residence. As many as 10,000 students took place in the mostly peaceful demonstration under police guard. Said Cheng Lei,
“Japan doesn’t face up to its history. We want to express our feelings so the Japanese government knows what we think.”
