Riot Police Called In to Calm Anti-Japanese Protests in China
By JOSEPH KAHN
EIJING, April 9 - Mass demonstrations here against Japan turned unruly late Saturday afternoon, with scattered vandalism and confrontations with the riot police intensifying what began as a fully legal and generally peaceful student-led protest.
Several hundred protesters tried to storm the residence of the Japanese ambassador in Beijing, hurling bottles and rocks into the walled compound before riot police broke up the confrontation, witnesses said.
Crowds defaced billboards advertising Japanese electronics products, shattered windows at a Beijing branch office of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, and threw rocks into a Japanese restaurant, but thousands of ordinary police and paramilitary units in full riot gear kept the violence from spreading.
The New China News Agency estimated that 10,000 demonstrators joined a march calling for a boycott of Japanese goods in Beijing's high-tech and university district earlier Saturday, making it one of the largest protest events authorized by the Chinese government in years.
Subsequent gatherings at the Japanese ambassador's residence and the Japanese Embassy appeared to have been organized without official approval and were considerably more tense, with the police closing off many roads and busing in reinforcements to maintain order.
The violence prompted an official protest in Tokyo by Japan's vice foreign minister, Shotaro Yachi, who asked the Chinese minister to Japan, Cheng Yonghua, to strengthen security, Reuters reported, citing the Kyodo news agency.
Resentment against Japan runs deep in Chinese society, with an overwhelming majority expressing the view that Japan has not fully atoned for its World War II-era aggression against China. Even minor disputes can provoke mass discontent, especially when the government sends signals, as it has in recent days, that it will allow some public political expression.
"Our generation believes that China must stand up for its rights and stop being soft on Japan," said Li Jiangchuan, a student who joined the march. "Japan should stop lying about history and tell the truth."
Beijing, which enforces a strict code of social stability, almost never gives permission for protesters to march on the streets of the capital. A widening wealth gap, land seizures, corruption and other issues cause regular disturbances around the country, but the police usually move quickly to disperse participants and arrest organizers.
But relations between China and Japan, Asia's two leading powers, have sharply deteriorated in recent months, at least temporarily easing Beijing's vigilance against grass-roots political activity.
In recent weeks, the two nations have taken steps to secure their rival claims to a string of tiny islands in the East China Sea and the reserves of natural gas in the seabed below.
China denounced new Japanese history textbooks that it maintains whitewash Japan's massacre of Chinese civilians during its long occupation of China in the 1930's and 1940's. It also lashed out at Japan in February for pledging to join the United States in defending Taiwan if China were to attack the island, which it claims as its sovereign territory.
Japan has accused China of distorting history and fanning the flames of xenophobia at home. Tokyo has also criticized China's rapid military buildup.
In addition, last week China dealt a peremptory blow to expanding the United Nations Security Council. An effort in China to rally public opinion against Japan began last month, as word spread that the United Nations was prepared to consider proposals to elevate Japan this year.

【香港=関泰晴】中国広東省広州市で10日午前、日本の国連安保理常任理事国入りや歴史教科書検定に反対する約3千人が、日本総領事館があるホテル前の広場に集結し、日本製品ボイコットなどを訴えた。
主催者は理性的行動を呼びかけたが、一部の興奮した群衆がペットボトル、石などをホテル内の日本料理店の窓ガラスに投げつけ、窓が割れるなどの被害が出た。
武装警察官約300人、公安警官約200人が出動し、警備に当たった。同日午後になって、群衆はホテル前を離れ、市内の日系スーパーに向かったという。
一方、同省深セン市でも同日午前、パソコン店が集中する市中心部の広場前に集結した約300人がデモ行進、日系デパート前では約1万人に膨れあがっている。(深センのセンは土ヘンに川)
9日には、西部・四川省成都市の日系スーパー前で抗議行動があり、店側はシャッターを閉め、一時営業を中断した。警察当局が数人を拘束したとされる。10日は、通常通りの営業という。同店前では今月2日にも同様の騒ぎがあった。
