Today's anti-Japanese protest in Beijing - photosPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 9, 2005 12:05 PM
Below is a gallery of pictures of today's anti-Japanese protests, photographed from the west wall of Beijing University. The images were sent in by Mike (whose website can be found here if you live in China, or here if you live outside the clammy embrace of the Great Nanny). The sign in the photo to the left says: "Compatriots this is our test: our time has arrived, RISE UP!!!". There is also a little photo of Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in rifle crosshairs, captioned with text meaning something like "Die fucker!"
Xinhua has posted a short item about the demonstration on its English website: People stage anti-Japanese demonstration in Beijing. Don't like the pictures above? Well, visit Xinhua's website for something easier on the eye: Gigi in new adverts and Early Marilyn Monroe photos. |
