Beijing, Apr. 10 - More than 10,000 Chinese have joined the Saturday
rally in Beijing protesting Japan's distortion of its wartime past and
Tokyo's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
People, echoing a call on Internet bulletin boards, came to the Hailong
shopping center in northern Beijing's Haidian district, carrying Chinese
flags and anti-Japanese banners.
Japan officially approved new textbook on Tuesday which glosses over
Japanese wartime atrocities.
The gathering participants called out slogans as "boycott Japanese-made
products," "safeguard Diaoyu Islands," and "smash Japan's daydream of
seeking permanent seat on the UN Security Council."
About 1,000 people started the gathering in the morning and more people
joined the protest. The number reached 10,000 at noon, and the group
marched from Zhongguancun street to the east part of Beijing where the
Japanese Embassy locates.
The police were keeping the order along the route.
