TOKYO/BEIJING: Six Chinese surveillance ships entered waters near disputed islands claimed by Tokyo and Beijing on Friday, raising tensions between Asia's two biggest economies to their highest level since 2010 over a long-running territorial row.
China's foreign ministry said that the ships entered the disputed waters to conduct maritime surveillance and that for the first time China was carrying out a mission of "law enforcement over its maritime rights".
The row takes place as both countries grapple with a global economic slowdown and China's Communist Party prepares for a generational leadership change. Protests occurred in Qingdao, Xi'an, Guangzhou and Hong Kong on Saturday as more than 1000 demonstrators gathered outside the Japanese embassy in Beijing. Japan's Kyodo News said more than 40,000 people joined demonstrations in 20 Chinese cities. Read more: www.smh.com.au...

Well if this escalates I'm sure the Japanese can handle themselves. They are one of the smartest people, won't be surprised if they have an army of Robots bigger than the 300 million man Chinese army.

So this propaganda is sponsored by the 'Corporations' whoever they are in China?
I'm pretty sure the businesses all have to pass some form of "censor checks" prior to getting to do anything there, unless I am mistaken.
That means this is being sanctioned all the way from the top by both Western and Eastern puppet masters.
That is indeed very shocking. Something big must be in the works, things are really heating up.
At this point I feel I need to warn people to be cautious and to begin taking precautions for disruptions in global trade networks, if they haven't already been preparing.
Now seems like a really good time to consider stocking up.

I think this may be to divert attention away from the protests in other countries. They may fear their own citizens will decide to protest for more freedom and this is to divert attention and give them an outlet. I'm fairly sure that's what this is truly about. Those islands have little to do with it I think.

Glad to see Communism "allow" the use of freedom of speech.

You know, all of the "Islamic" protests/riots of the last few days could also be utilized for the same purpose this totally seemingly different form of protest is here in China.
Perhaps this is how the big media outlets are directing our energy/rage/anger into totally frivolous and trivial issues, while allowing them to get off the hook just one more day.
That means they will have to continue playing this game and escalating the ante every step to stay in power without facing accountability for their misdeeds.
I am very open to this possibility as it makes quite a bit of sense.
