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.
Xinhua's Chinese website is currently adorned with the headline reproduced below - 87 organizations announce their opposition to Japan getting a permanent UN Security Council seat; Kofi Annan appeals to Japan to establish credibility with neighbouring countries:

+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
